It's been a shaky start to the season for Syracuse, and facing a Texas team that's been red-hot since an opening night loss won't be the cure for what ails them, per our college basketball betting picks.
It's been a shaky start to the season for Syracuse, and facing a Texas team that's been red-hot since an opening night loss won't be the cure for what ails them, per our college basketball betting picks.
Syracuse beat the Le Moyne Dolphins by four, the Colgate Raiders by two, and needed double overtime to get past the Youngstown State Penguins. This doesn’t sound like the resume of a team headed to a showcase early season tournament, let alone March Madness. But it’s the Texas defense that may give Syracuse the biggest problems. Texas has held each of its last three opponents to fewer than 60 points. None of those teams were world-beaters, of course, but the Syracuse offense isn’t anywhere in the realm of elite, either.
Along with taking the Longhorns to cover the spread, I’m also taking the Under. Syracuse’s totals this year look a bit higher than they should be thanks to its double overtime game, while Texas has been shutting down inferior offenses — and the Orange are far from elite in that area. His betting strategy focuses more on finding line value based on deviations from the market rather than traditional handicapping, primarily shopping between DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics in his home state of Connecticut, though he’s not afraid to do deep game analysis to find profitable bets at any book.
