[Monday, Feb 25]

Notre Dame Fighting Irish at #18 Florida State Seminoles -11.5 (7:00pm ET)

Although North Carolina beat Florida State 77-59 in FSU’s last meeting, the Seminoles have played well enough recently to go 8-2 SU and 7-3 ATS in their last 10. They dominated Notre Dame 84-69 in the last matchup.

The Irish are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games, though. But, that shouldn’t be the trend that causes you to back ND. The Irish going 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings is. Not only that, but the Seminoles are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games on Monday and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss.

NCAAB Monday Free Pick: Notre Dame +11.5

South Carolina State Bulldogs at North Carolina Central Eagles -7.5 (7:00pm ET)

North Carolina Central is 3-0-2 ATS in their last 5. They beat South Carolina State 102-79 the last time they faced them. Although that game happened back in February 2018, a similar outcome could happen on Monday night because the Bulldogs are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 and give up an average of 75.9 points per from 48.7% shooting from the field.

NCAAB Monday Free Pick: North Carolina Central -7.5

Savannah State Tigers at North Carolina A&T Aggies -7 (7:30pm ET)

Savannah State is hot against the spread. The Tigers are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7. They’re also 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 on the road, 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss, and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games on a Monday.

North Carolina A&T is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games. The Aggies are the overall better team and should win straight up, but they won’t cover.

NCAAB Monday Free Pick: Savannah State +7

Oklahoma Sooners at Iowa State Cyclones -8 (8:00pm ET)

The Sooners have won two in a row straight up, but they’ve been awful against the spread. Oklahoma is 2-4-1 ATS in their last 7. Iowa State’s been even worse against the spread, though.

The Cyclones are 1-5 ATS in their last 6. It’s amazing that Iowa State’s still ranked because they’ve gone 1-3 SU in their last 4. Based on more trends, Oklahoma takes this against the spread. The Sooners are 8-1-3 ATS in their last 12 games on the road, 6-1-3 ATS in their last 10 games versus a team with a winning home record and 6-0-3 ATS in their last 9 on the road versus a team with a winning percentage greater than .600.

NCAAB Monday Free Pick: Oklahoma +8

#16 Kansas State Wildcats at #15 Kansas Jayhawks -4.5 (9:00pm ET)

Although the Jayhawks are ranked higher than K-State, this sets up as a possible Wildcats moneyline victory. Kansas State is +170 on BetAmerica to beat Rock Chalk straight up.

K-State beat Kansas 74-67 in the last matchup. Since that time, the Jayhawks have gone 3-1 SU and ATS. However, in their last game against a similar defensive team, Texas Tech, Kansas imploded. The Red Raiders dominated them 91-62.

The Wildcats have been much better recently, only losing to Iowa State while going 8-2 SU and ATS in their last 10. K-State’s also 7-1 ATS in their last 8 versus a team with a winning percentage above .600 while Kansas is 4-10 ATS in their last 14 versus a team with a winning percentage above .600. Backing the Wildcats on the moneyline.

NCAAB Monday Free Pick: Kansas State +170
