Free NCAA College Basketball Picks: NCAA Best Bets and Money Line Selections For 1/23/23

Yesterday was one of those days that bettors live for. Almost every last shot went in, every break fell into place, and the luck went our way. We hit both Best Bets, as Florida easily covered over Vanderbilt, and then Princeton made us sweat, before finally taking care of Dartmouth. That stopped a two day losing streak and ran out Best Bet of the Day record to 20-10. We picked 26 games betting the Money Line and went 23-3 on the day. We are now a red-hot 154-35 (81%) in that category. After a million games yesterday, the Sunday schedule is much lighter. Let’s see if we can find something to bet.

Papa Dudes Best Bet for College Basketball Today

Michigan 8-7 at Indiana 14-4 (-3.5): Michigan is a talented team and very dangerous in this one. They are coming off of a big win at home against Maryland and might be ready to make a run in the Big 10. The other fear is Indiana having a letdown after an exciting win over #4 Purdue a couple of days ago. But, the Hoosiers play well at home and have balanced scoring. At this point, they are the more consistent team and that is important in this dog-eat-dog league.

PAPA DUDES BEST BET: Indiana -3.5
