Monmouth heads to SECU Arena to face Towson on Saturday, January 3, 2026, with tip set for 6:00 PM ET on FloC. This is a CAA spot where the market is clearly backing the home team: Towson is laying nine with a strong moneyline behind it, and that price is mostly about home-court and matchup control. Towson is 5-0 at home, and it tends to win these games by making them physical, owning the glass, and keeping opponents from getting comfortable possessions. Monmouth is 1-5 on the road, and as a dog here, it needs a clean game that stays within one or two runs, not a grind where every empty trip becomes a two-possession swing. These are the current

UCLA heads to Iowa City for a Big Ten spot at Carver Hawkeye Arena on Saturday, January 3, 2026, with tip set for 6:00 PM ET on PEAC. The Bruins are 10-3 and rolling offensively, but they have been uneven away from home and now get the worst kind of road assignment: an undefeated home favorite with a top-25 number next to its name. Iowa is 11-2 and 10-0 in this building, and the market is respecting that edge with the Hawkeyes laying 6.5. This matchup is basically a shooting contest with a pace question attached to it.

Alabama State heads to Itta Bena for a SWAC matchup with Mississippi Valley State on Saturday, January 3, 2026, with tip set for 6:00 PM ET at the Harrison HPER Complex. It’s a conference road spot for the Hornets, and the number is big: Alabama State is laying -13.5 against a Delta Devils team that’s struggled to win games or sustain offense. The tricky part is the profile of the favorite. Alabama State is only 3-10 and has been shaky away from home, while Mississippi Valley State is 1-13 but at least has shown a little more life in its own building. This line is pricing “talent gap” and “floor,” not résumé, so the bet comes down to whether Alabama

Texas Southern heads to Baton Rouge for a SWAC matchup with Southern on Saturday, January 3, 2026, with tip set for 6:00 PM ET at the F. G. Clark Activity Center. The market is pricing this as a solid home edge game, with Southern laying -7.5 against a Texas Southern team that’s been stuck in the mud away from home. This one is about game script. Southern wants to make the favorite status matter early, build separation with physical defense and rebounding, and never let it turn into a late-possession coin flip. Texas Southern’s only real path is keeping it close with free throws, limiting turnovers, and turning Southern’s half-court possessions into long, uncomfortable trips. These are the current betting
