Each Monday, I will highlight the premier college basketball betting spots for the coming week. This week, we assess whether Miami (Ohio) can maintain its unbeaten run and consider a bounce-back opportunity for Alabama at home.

Miami (Ohio) at Buffalo, Tuesday

Is Tuesday the night Miami finally falls? The RedHawks have had a close call lately, winning their last three matches by narrow margins, including a significant victory against Northern Illinois that was decided in overtime. Buffalo comes into this matchup struggling, having lost four straight at home, yet they previously competed well against Miami. If the betting line favors Miami too heavily, consider backing Buffalo.

Texas A&M at Alabama, Wednesday

With my track record of betting on Alabama, it’s clear their matchups influence outcomes significantly. The Texas A&M squad, led by head coach Bucky McMillan, is performing well at the top of the SEC standings, while Alabama is looking to turn its recent performance around. Given Texas A&M’s weaker rebounding, this could favor Alabama in this matchup.

Additional Matches to Note

• Oakland at Cleveland State, Wednesday: Cleveland State is showing improved form lately, preparing for a clash with Oakland, who previously bested them.
• Arkansas at Mississippi State, Saturday: Mississippi State struggles against top offenses, which could spell trouble against Arkansas, a team boasting a potent scoring offense.

Stay tuned for my official betting picks as the week unfolds, and always check the lines as game time approaches.
