The college basketball season is in full swing with the New Year and the start of conference play. This is the time of the year when the best teams in the nation continue to jockey for position in both the national polls and the eventual seeding for the 2022 NCAA Tournament.
As part of my weekly college basketball coverage for the highly popular sports betting site Vegas Insider, I am dialed into play in the Big 12 and the Big East as two of the most popular betting conferences in Division I ball.
This week, one of my top plays is Friday night's Xavier Musketeers at Butler Bulldogs tilt at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Game time is set for 8:30 p.m. (ET) on FS1.
Xavier goes on the road as a 5.5-point favorite with the total line set at 130 points. The Musketeers are 11-2 straight-up with a profitable 9-4 record against the spread. Two very important betting trends to keep in mind for this matchup starts with Xavier's 9-3 record ATS in its last 12 games as a favorite. You can couple this with Butler going 1-5 ATS in its last six games as an underdog.
Below is a link to my complete game preview at Vegas Insider along with my 'Best Bet' pick.
