There are three games to target on Tuesday night, and here are the best bets to make for those three games.

Alabama Crimson Tide at Memphis Tigers

Alabama vs. Memphis Predictions

Best Bet: Alabama -3.5

The 6th-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide head to Memphis on Tuesday night for a matchup with the struggling Tigers. Memphis was supposed to be an improved team this season, but they have gone just 5-4 through their first nine games.

Alabama already has some monster wins on their resume this season, including victories over Gonzaga and Houston in back-to-back outings. There is a chance that the Crimson Tide could have a letdown on Tuesday, but that offense scored 86 points per game.

Things have gone from bad to worse for Memphis and head coach Penny Hardaway appears out of answers. The Tigers have lost four straight games and they appear to have some character issues.

Memphis might be able to keep this game close for a half, but Alabama is clearly the better team. Take the Crimson Tide -3.5 over the Tigers on Tuesday night.

UC Davis Aggies at Oregon State Beavers

UC Davis vs. Oregon State Predictions

Best Bet: UC Davis +6.5

The Oregon State Beavers are looking for their second win of the season when they host the UC Davis Aggies. UC Davis is a 6.5-point underdog despite being 4-3 on the young season.

Oregon State comes into this game scoring just 65 points per night, and they are going to have to find some offense to keep up with the Aggies in this one. The Beavers are shooting just 43 percent from the field and that has kept them from putting up a solid offensive performance.

UC Davis has won two straight games, and they managed to score 81 points in their most recent game. The Aggies are a team that struggles to get stops, but that might not matter in this one.

Oregon State should have just enough talent to win this game, but it’s hard to see them winning by seven-point. Take the points and bet on UC Davis to cover.

CBB Predictions

Arkansas State Red Wolves at Texas Tech Red Raiders

Arkansas State vs. Texas Tech Predictions

Best Bet: Arkansas State +24

You don’t usually see 7-2 teams as 24-point underdogs, but that is exactly what will be taking place on Tuesday night down in Texas. The Arkansas State Red Wolves have a very slim chance of winning this game, but they are getting no respect with this line.

Texas Tech has gone 7-1 to begin the year, but they haven’t been playing very solid of late. The Red Raiders were upset by Providence two games ago and then scored just 57 points in an upset win over Tennessee.

The numbers say that Texas Tech is averaging 82 points per game, but the offense doesn’t always come easy for this team. Arkansas State is scoring 75 points per game, and they have the ability to shoot it well.

Texas Tech is going to win this game easily, but Arkansas State can keep it within 24 points.
