Just like that we’re approaching the home stretch of conference play, and we have a small but interesting college hoops slate on Monday. What better way to celebrate than by going for a big payday? That’s right; we’re back with another mega parlay, college basketball edition.
We’re going big and bold again, so let’s not waste any more time. But before we dive in, don’t forget to check out our free picks on the side and total for every big NCAAB game.
Virginia ML (+164)
Georgetown ML (+460)
Parlay odds: +1378
Let’s break down each of the two legs one by one.
Virginia ML (+164) over Virginia Tech
To start off this mega parlay we are looking toward a rivalry game in the ACC. Virginia is having a down year, but just because this team haven’t lived up to its lofty standards that doesn’t mean it is a bad team. The Cavaliers actually have a ton of momentum entering this one, having won four in a row. They just beat an elite Duke team on the road, so it looks like they are finally snapping out of their early season funk and starting to look like the team many expected coming into the year.
Their only recent loss was by just 4 points on the road against Notre Dame. These teams already played once earlier this year and Virginia won, and that was at a time when the Wahoos were struggling. The Hokies turned the ball over 12 times and couldn’t get anything going against the Cavaliers. Now Virginia is playing its best ball of the season.
Georgetown ML (+460) over Creighton
To wrap up our mega parlay have a big ‘dog in the Big East. Give me the Georgetown Hoyas. Georgetown has been in a big slump, but I think it has a good chance to break out of it here. They Hoyas have lost some close games to good teams, and aren’t as bad as you might think. They also dealt with a ton of injuries that had them really shorthanded for a lot of those defeats. These two teams just played each other in their most recent game, and as such this second meeting will be high variance.
Creighton will still be without Arthur Kaluma due to injury, and Ryan Hawkins likely won’t be able to repeat the career night he had last game against the Hoyas. Georgetown flukily shot only 6-of-24 from downtown in the first game against Creighton despite the fact that it is usually a very good three-point shooting team.
