Top Bet’s Best College Basketball Teams To Bet On – January 15

Team	Trend
Xavier Musketeers	5-0 ATS in last 5
Cincinnati Bearcats	11-1 UNDER
Villanova Wildcats	6-0 OVER in last 6
Davidson Wildcats	4-0 ATS in last 4 road games
Arizona Wildcats	5-1 ATS in last 6 as favorites

Xavier Musketeers

Trend: 7-0 ATS in last 7 games

Next Game: @ Georgetown Hoyas – January 15 | 7:00 PM ET

Behind Villanova and Creighton in the Big East standings, the Musketeers began their conference play with three straight victories but ran into a wall in Creighton last Sunday (L 95-89) breaking the streak. Nevertheless, Xavier managed to hang around with the 20^th ranked Bluejays to cover its 8.5-point spread as underdogs, thus stretching their winning streak.

Cincinnati Bearcats

Trend: 10-1 UNDER

Next Game: vs. Arizona State Sun Devils– January 16 | 9:00 PM ET

The Bearcats break into the Top 25 rankings for the first time this season thanks to an impressive nine-game winning streak. More specifically, those wins were largely a result of Cincinnati’s defense that often leaves their opponents whitewashed. Combine the Bearcats’ stingy defense, which allows just 56.2 PPG (No. 4 in the nation) with their mediocre offense that produces a 200^th ranked 71.5 PPG, it comes with little surprise that Cincinnati is just 1-11 in the Over/Under standings.

Villanova Wildcats

Trend: 6-0 OVER in last 6

Next Game: vs. DePaul Blue Demons– January 18 | 4:00 PM ET

Villanova has been on this weekly list a number of times since the start of the college basketball season, this is because of the Wildcats’ strong ATS performance. The Wildcats remain the most reliable team to cover the spread. In fact, they are 3-0 ATS in the last three games. Ok, we get it; Villanova is a hot ATS team. But here’s something bettors might not realize, laying money on the OVER for Villanova games are a pretty sweet deal too. The Wildcats are 6-0 OVER in their last six games.[sc:NCAAB240banner ]

Davidson Wildcats

Trend: 4-0 ATS in last 4 road games

Next Game: vs. Elon Phoenix– January 16 | 7:00 PM ET

Back in December, Davidson had nightmarish back-to-back games against highly ranked teams, which included No. 14 North Carolina and No. 10 Wichita State, to add to the difficulty of these games, they were both on the road. Davidson lost both as expected but of these losses there was no resemblence the kind of annihilation that happens when an unranked small school ventures into a Top 20 school’s lair. Davidson forced the Tar Heels into overtime (L 97-85) and lost by just nine points to the Shockers (L 81-70) to record the first two wins of their current three-game ATS win streak on the road. Two of the next three games of Davidson will be played away from John M. Belk Arena, on the Wildcats’ home court.

Arizona Wildcats

Trend: 5-1 ATS in last 6 as favorites

Next Game: vs. Arizona State Sun Devils– January 16 | 9:00 PM ET

The last time Arizona lost was back in the Sweet 16 round of last year’s NCAA Tournament, which means that Arizona hasn’t lost a single game this season. The Wildcats are 17-0 SU and are the nation’s No.1 seeded team. The Wildcats aren’t playing lax basketball despite facing only one ranked team thus far. That claim is evident on their admirable 12-4 ATS record overall. Before their showdown with the Sun Devils Thursday night, the Wildcats are 5-1 ATS in their last six games.
