Illinois Fighting Illini vs Rutgers Scarlet Knights Picks and Predictions January 8th 2026
Rutgers finally has tangible proof of progress after an overtime win against Oregon, its first Big Ten victory of the season. That result sets up a tougher measuring stick Thursday night in Champaign against No. 16 Illinois. You can follow line movement and updated pricing on the NCAA basketball odds page. Illinois enters at 11-3 and has already shown it can win with defense and depth. The Illini are not reliant on one scoring option, and that balance becomes more pronounced at home. Illinois opened as a clear favorite, with the number reflecting both roster depth and Rutgers’ struggles against ranked teams earlier in the season. The market has leaned toward Illinois, especially after Rutgers’ early Big Ten losses, though

Maryland Terrapins vs Indiana Hoosiers Picks and Predictions January 7th 2026
Big Ten rivals collide Tuesday night in Bloomington as the Maryland Terrapins visit the Indiana Hoosiers at Assembly Hall. Tipoff is set for 8:30 PM ET on January 7, 2026, and both teams enter this one trying to shake off mid-season inconsistency. Maryland comes in at 10–5, leaning on tough halfcourt defense and methodical offense. Indiana, also 10–5, has been solid at home but shaky late in games.

Marquette Golden Eagles vs Xavier Musketeers Picks and Predictions January 7th 2026
A high-stakes Big East clash hits Cincinnati Tuesday night as the Marquette Golden Eagles head to the Cintas Center to take on the Xavier Musketeers. Tipoff is set for 7:00 PM ET on January 7, 2026, with both teams in the thick of the conference race. Marquette enters 13–2 overall and ranked inside the top 10 nationally, riding elite guard play and aggressive defense. Xavier is 10–5 but tough at home and still dangerous when the threes are falling. This game is likely to come down to tempo control, turnovers, and late-game execution — three areas where Marquette has held the edge all season, but Xavier’s home court can’t be overlooked.

Kentucky Wildcats vs Missouri Tigers Picks and Predictions January 7th 2026
SEC play rolls on Tuesday night as the Kentucky Wildcats hit the road to face the Missouri Tigers at Mizzou Arena. Tipoff is set for 8:00 PM ET on January 7, 2026, in what should be a hard-fought matchup between two physical, guard-driven teams. Kentucky enters the contest 12–2, winning with depth, size, and tempo. Missouri sits at 9–6 and is still looking for consistency on both ends, especially against upper-tier SEC opponents. This game is all about pace, rebounding, and who controls the paint. Kentucky’s size and athleticism give them an edge on paper, but Missouri’s home-court edge and ability to hit threes could turn this into a tight one late. Check out the current lines for this SEC

Tipoff is set for 8:00 PM ET on January 7, 2026, with both teams entering on solid form. Mississippi State sits at 12–3 with a defense-first identity and a bruising frontcourt. Oklahoma comes in 11–4, leaning on athleticism, pace, and a strong home record. This matchup offers bettors a contrast in styles — physical SEC defense vs pace-and-space Big 12 offense. The question is whether Oklahoma can generate enough clean looks against a top-tier defensive unit that doesn’t give much away at the rim. Here are the latest odds for this non-conference showdown.
