If you’re planning to wager on the midweek games, be sure to check out my NCAA basketball picks for Wednesday. Lucky for you, I have found five bets that could win big. Let’s get right into it!

Houston Cougars at UCF Knights

Houston vs. UCF Picks

Best Bet: Houston Cougars -10 (-110)

The Houston Cougars suffered a rare one-point loss to the Temple Owls last time out, ending a run of nine straight victories. Still, the Cougars remain at the summit of the American Athletic Conference, having won 18 of their 20 games this season.

Meanwhile, the UCF Knights find themselves third in the division after recording 13 wins and six defeats. Heading into Wednesday’s clash on a two-game losing streak, the Knights look destined to suffer a heavy defeat against the high-flying Cougars.

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

Georgia Bulldogs at Tennessee Volunteers

Georgia vs. Tennessee Picks

Best Bet: Tennessee Volunteers -16.5 (-115)

The Georgia Bulldogs have slumped to eighth place in the Southeastern Conference following a run of two losses in three games. After falling to the Florida Gators, the Bulldogs suffered back-to-back defeats against the Kentucky Wildcats and Vanderbilt Commodores.

At the opposite end of the division, the Tennessee Volunteers occupy second place, having lost just three of their 19 encounters this season. With seven wins coming in their previous eight games, the Volunteers should make light work of the Bulldogs.

Butler Bulldogs at Providence Friars

Butler vs. Providence Picks

Best Bet: Providence Friars -9.5 (-110)

Not only have the Butler Bulldogs lost four of their last five games, but they have also lost seven of their previous 10. As a result, they find themselves fourth from the bottom in the Big East Conference with a record of 11-10 for the season.

On the flip side, the Providence Friars have registered 15 wins and five losses this season. Having won 10 of their previous 12 games, the Friars will be confident of defeating the Bulldogs by a considerable margin on Wednesday.

NCAA Basketball Predictions

Mississippi State Bulldogs at Alabama Crimson Tide

Mississippi State vs. Alabama Picks

Best Bet: Alabama Crimson Tide -13 (-115)

The Alabama Crimson Tide heads into Wednesday’s home clash against the Mississippi State Bulldogs on an eight-game winning streak. Consequently, they sit at the summit of the Southeastern Conference – eight places above their next opponent.

In addition to losing each of their last four games, the Bulldogs have lost seven of their previous eight. Given the contrasting form of the Crimson Tide, the visitors look set to suffer another heavy defeat at Alabama’s Coleman Coliseum.

Texas A&M Aggies at Auburn Tigers

Texas A&M vs. Auburn Picks

Best Bet: Auburn Tigers -5 (-110)

Following an impressive 15-point victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks, the Auburn Tigers’ winning streak now stands at five games. When you look at the bigger picture, the Tigers have won 16 of their 19 outings this season.

The Texas A&M Aggies find themselves four places below the Tigers in the Southeastern Conference after losing to the Kentucky Wildcats last time out. Granted, the Aggies are enjoying a solid season, but they will struggle to deal with the Tigers at Neville Arena.
