We have a great parlay for you this Monday evening but remember, play the games as a single bet, never stack your chips in one basket, have a backup plan.
Maryland Vs. (#9) Wisconsin Picks
Kohl Center, Madison Wisconsin
7:00 PM ET, TV: Local Coverage
Pick: Wisconsin -9.5
The Badgers are playing rock-solid basketball, and this is the time of year when they heat up. Madison is a cold place this time of year, but we know this team is ready for Maryland.
Wisconsin comes into tonight’s matchup having won their last five straight games and an overall record of 8-1. This team can play with anybody and Maryland, well, let’s just say they can’t! The Badgers are holding their opponent to 59.6 points per game and this stat means something considering their last three wins have come against Michigan State, Nebraska, and Louisville.
They held Louisville to 48. Maryland is experiencing growing pains and tonight will be painful. Look for the badgers to run the table with an early lead and win both halves and easily cover the spread.

(#12) Michigan State Vs. Minnesota Picks
Williams Arena, Minneapolis Minnesota
8:00 PM ET, TV: BTN
Pick: Minnesota +2.5
We don’t like the strength of schedule that the Spartans have played to this point and we are not willing to give them this win simply because they are “Michigan State”. Minnesota comes in unranked, however, they are building momentum every game played with a pile of points on the board. These guys score a ton as does State. This one will be run, and gun – the defense will not be the talk of the town. Michigan State is over ranked, and it all comes crashing down with a big Minnesota win at home. Don’t like the spread? Jump on the over at 160.

Northern Arizona Vs. (#1) Gonzaga Picks
McCarthey Athletic Center, Spokane Washington
9:00 PM ET, TV: Local
Pick: Gonzaga -40.5
Yea, we know! This is a ton of points to lay in a college basketball game. Listen, normally, never lay this high of a spread but in this game, lay it and win it! How did Northern Arizona get snookered into this matchup? Gonzaga is averaging 95.1 points per game and they will bury the Lumberjacks. This game will never be close, not even kind of close on any level and you can count on covering.
Have fun with these three and be amazed at what Gonzaga can do. This team is a legit No. 1 and they will prove it tonight. All three of the games are a worthy bet with too many betting options to list. Contact your online bookmaker for the best prop options.
