Odds & Ends (2/18/22): NCAAB Experts Continue Profitable Week

The NFL season is over and the NBA is on break. But the ScoresAndOdds NCAAB team will have you covered with NCAAB expert picks to get you through the weekend.

We’re less than a month away from Selection Sunday and the ScoresAndOdds NCAAB experts are heating up at just the right time.

NCAAB Expert Picks

Our NCAAB team is collectively 18-11, +10.23 units across the last 7 days.

Arizona State proved to be a big winner for our guy Alex Hardin (feartheturtle) on Thursday.

Hardin took the Sun Devils moneyline (+180), and also with the 4.5 points, who laid a thumping on Oregon, 81-57.

Alex predicted a big game from ASU’s Jalen Graham in his ScoresAndOdds premium analysis, and he delivered with 18 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists with multiple steals & blocks.

“Despite the shooting woes, they have been competitive at home in conference play, having knocked off Utah and UCLA, while playing USC and Arizona relatively close,” Hardin said.

“I think ASU can score on this Oregon interior, and ASU role players stand a much better chance making shots with the home crowd behind them. This Ducks team, I thought could be a Sweet 16 team on paper, but I have not seen the next level from them, they do not scare me.”

Hardin also added UCLA (-9.5) who covered easily against Washington State, en route to netting 2.95 units on Thursday.

Buffalo Beimfohr

Erik Beimfohr (ebeimfohr) won his lone pick of the night, hitting Buffalo (-10 on the college basketball odds board) against Eastern Michigan in the good ol’ MAC conference.

Beimfohr labeled Buffalo as “underrated” heading into Thursday’s action.

“They present a terrible matchup for the Eagles here. Both teams want to run as much as possible, but the problem for EMU is that Buffalo has a very strong offense (92nd) while EMU has one of the worst in the nation (312th),” he said in Thursday’s premium analysis.

“They basically only have Noah Farrakhan on offense, who uses 30% of their possessions, and Buffalo completely took him away in their first meeting (which Buffalo won 102-64).

“Buffalo is also going to absolutely own the boards, as they are one of the best rebounding teams in the country, particularly on the offensive end where they have the 2nd highest ORB% in the nation.”

Beimfohr called his shot, as the Bulls out-gained EMU on the glass, 46-35. His Buffalo pick was the first one on the board Thursday morning for ScoresAndOdds. Our team of experts do not sleep.

“EMU gives up offensive boards at a top 100 clip (28.5%), and this was another huge factor of the first matchup where Buffalo out-rebounded EMU 50-28 (!!) with 18 offensive rebounds.”

Across the last 7 days, Beimfohr is up 7.48 units.

Jon Schiller (Varncass) was idle Thursday, but is 7-4 this week, up 2.10 units.

Schiller was back on the grind Friday. Each of our NCAAB experts posted at least one pick before 11 a.m. ET.

• In addition to a game pick, Schiller posted a NCAAB futures bet you don’t want to miss
• Hardin and Beimfohr have a consensus pick on the same bet against the spread – both labeling it a “style” or “schematic” advantage for one side
