Odds by way of SportsLine consensus | All occasions Jap
8 p.m. | ESPN, fuboTV (Attempt without spending a dime) — Alabama is a formidable 13-1 inside Coleman Coliseum, with the lone loss coming to Clemson in November. The Crimson Tide have gained each of their video games (Auburn and Florida) towards ranked opponents at dwelling. In Alabama’s approach of bettering that mark and including one other signature win to its résumé is Tennessee star Dalton Knecht. Knecht and Alabama’s Mark Sears are enjoying at completely different ranges proper now and each ought to be All-Individuals. This sport might come all the way down to what star meets the second. It is not surprising Alabama is favored, however Tennessee is the decide right here. Prediction: Tennessee +2.5 — Cameron Salerno
10 p.m. | ESPN, fuboTV (Attempt without spending a dime) — In case you’re an evening owl, that is the sport for you. Earlier this week, Saint Mary’s clinched its first outright WCC common season convention championship since 2012. There is not a staff within the convention that has provided Gonzaga extra resistance through the years than Saint Mary’s. Within the final assembly, Saint Mary’s went to Spokane and gained by a slim 64-62 margin. This has all of the makings to be one other traditional, however do not be stunned if the Gaels make one other assertion earlier than the WCC Event. Prediction: Saint Mary’s -2.5 — Cameron Salerno
1:30 p.m. | ABC, fuboTV (Attempt without spending a dime) — Kansas is a different team without McCullar within the lineup. The Jayhawks misplaced their most up-to-date outing in Allen Fieldhouse to BYU with out McCullar — snapping their 67-game home winning streak towards unranked groups. Kansas does not have the depth to compensate for shedding that form of manufacturing. Baylor is coming off a robust exhibiting towards TCU, however they’ve additionally regarded shaky throughout Huge 12 play. If Kansas desires to steal a win on the street, counting on Hunter Dickinson is essential. On the flip aspect, Baylor freshman heart Yves Missi is the X-Issue. Kansas retains it shut and covers, however Baylor wins outright on its dwelling ground. Prediction: Kansas +4.5 — Cameron Salerno
1:30 p.m. | CBS, CBSSports.com, CBS Sports App (Free) — Kentucky ought to win, and it ought to win handily, however I am going to take the factors on the Arkansas aspect simply because 15 is an enormous quantity to put. This appears like an 90-80 sort sport that’s by no means unsure however winds up being a high-scoring affair. UK’s offense has been firing on all cylinders the final two video games in wins vs. Alabama and Mississippi State, however its protection hasn’t fairly clicked but. Prediction: Arkansas +14 — Kyle Boone
4 p.m. | CBS, CBSSports.com, CBS Sports App (Free) — Strictly from a expertise perspective, I like USC to cowl the quantity right here on the street. In case you used that logic many of the season for USC, after all, you’d have misplaced some huge cash, however the Trojans have not less than performed impressed basketball of late with the emergence of Isaiah Collier and Boogie Ellis returning to kind. Prediction: USC +5.5 — Kyle Boone
