Georgetown Hoyas vs St. John’s Red Storm Picks and Predictions December 31st 2025
Detroit heads to Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday night for a 10:30 PM ET tip against the Lakers, with both teams coming in from very different emotional spots. The Pistons are 24-8 and still sitting near the top of the East, but they have dropped two straight and you can feel the urgency on this road swing. Los Angeles is 20-10 and just snapped a three-game skid with a clean 48-minute win over Sacramento, the kind of reset game a team needs when things start to drift. This is also a matchup where the market is telling you it expects a real game. Detroit is a small road favorite, the total is in the low 230s, and the handicap basically says

 UNCW Seahawks vs Drexel Dragons Picks and Predictions December 31st 2025
Drexel heads to Trask Coliseum for a Coastal Athletic Association matchup with UNCW on Wednesday, December 31, 2025 at 7:00 PM ET on FloC. The Dragons are 6-8 and the road splits are a real issue, sitting at 1-6 away from home. This is a tough building to figure out when you’re not generating easy offense. UNCW is 12-2 with an 8-1 home record and oddsmakers are treating this like a potential separation game. The Seahawks are laying 12.5 with a heavy moneyline, and the total is 138.5. If you’re betting this, the handicap is basically about one question: can Drexel keep the possession count low enough that shooting variance keeps them inside the number? These are the current betting

 Villanova Wildcats vs DePaul Blue Demons Picks and Predictions December 31st 2025
DePaul heads to the Finneran Pavilion on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, for a Big East road test against Villanova, with tip set for 6:00 PM ET on FS1. The Blue Demons are 8-5 and still trying to prove they can travel, while Villanova is 10-2 and a perfect 7-0 at home. This is also a number-and-pace game from a betting perspective. Villanova is laying a big spread because they’ve been reliable in this building, and DePaul just came off an ugly offensive night in a 72-54 loss to Connecticut. If the Wildcats control tempo early, this can get out of hand quickly. These are the current betting lines for this matchup, but bettors should always monitor updated college basketball odds

Texas-Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros vs Nicholls Colonels Picks and Predictions December 31st 2025
Nicholls heads to Edinburg to face Texas Rio Grande Valley on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, at 5:30 PM ET at the UTRGV Fieldhouse, with the game streaming on ESPN+. It’s a short number, but it’s a meaningful spot: Nicholls enters at 4-8 trying to stack any kind of momentum, while UTRGV has played the cleaner brand of basketball at home and is laying 3.5. From a betting angle, the market is basically asking one question. Can Nicholls’ three-point volume keep them in it for 40 minutes, or does UTRGV’s shot-making and defensive edge turn this into a “win by 6-10” type of game? With a total of 147.5, the pace and foul profile matter too, because this number can swing

Xavier Musketeers vs Connecticut Huskies Picks and Predictions December 31st 2025
Connecticut heads to Cincinnati for a Big East road game against Xavier on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, with tip set for 5:00 PM ET at the Cintas Center on PEAC. UConn is 12-1 and a perfect 4-0 on the road, and the market is treating this like a tier gap with the Huskies laying double digits. Xavier is 9-4 and 8-2 at home, which is why the +12.5 is at least worth a second look instead of an automatic “fade the dog.” The handicap comes down to control. UConn tends to win games by taking away easy offense, forcing you into late-clock shots, then turning clean defensive possessions into efficient scoring. Xavier’s best chance to hang is to stay organized
