Rock the College Basketball Betting Odds by Backing the Rams Against Fredette, No. 7 BYU

February 23, 2011

Outstanding point guard Jimmer Fredette is undeniably one of the best college players in the nation and the BYU Cougars BYU Cougars (25-2 SU, 11-12 ATS) are one of the top NCAA March Madness title contenders in the country because of it.

However, my expert college basketball betting picks for tonight’s matchup featuring the Cougars hosting one of my favorite bankroll-boosting teams in the country this season, says the smart money is one the Colorado State Rams (18-8 SU, 15-8-1 ATS) to cash in against the value-packed BetOnline college basketball betting odds.

BYU -14

Colorado State had their modest three-game SU and two-game ATS winning streak snapped in its 68-61 loss to UNLV on Saturday while failing to cash in against the college basketball betting line as a 1-point home underdog.

BYU got a ‘modest’ 23 points from Fredette en route to an easy 79-56 win over TCU as a 14.5–point road favorite to move to 3-1 against the college basketball betting odds in their last four games.

Fredette, the nation’s leading scorer (27.2 ppg) is dealing with a calf injury that he suffered in the win over TCU and one that kept him out of practice on Monday.

Prediction: I’m going to get right to the point for devoted members of the BetOnline college basketball betting community by saying that you probably already know that the Colorado State Rams have been one of my top ATS picks for quite some time now.

The Rams have gone 14-6 ATS over their L/20 games and have put on some really quality performances – despite the few head-scratchers they’ve spit out as well.

In addition to their fine, 8-3 mark against the college hoops odds over their last 11 games, Colorado State put on some fine performances against No. 4 San Diego State in a two-point loss, as well as their 9-point loss to BYU on Jan. 22.

The Rams also beat UNLV earlier this season as well as Mississippi and Southern Miss and I believe the 14 points they are getting tonight is just a few more than they need to cash in tonight.

Despite their woeful Colorado State 0-3-1 ATS mark in their last four road games against Fredette and the Cougars, the Rams have gone 7-1 against the college basketball betting odds in their last eight road games and an even more impressive 6-1 ATS in their L/7 road games against teams with winning home records.

BYU has gone 4-0 ATS in its last four home games against a team with a winning road record but they’ve also gone 1-4 against the college basketball betting odds in their last five games as a home favorite of more than 13 points.

Keep it simple and back the Rams against BYU and the hobbled Jimmer Fredette to strike pay dirt in the BetOnline basketball sportsbook.
