CBB Best Bets Today (March 20, 2025)

Drake +6.5 vs. Missouri 

-115, DraftKings

Drake has already shown they can compete with high-major teams like Vanderbilt in neutral-site games earlier this season, proving they can handle step-up games. Mizzou is one of the most athletic teams they’ll face all year, but if the Bulldogs can dictate the pace, they’re in a strong position to cover. This matchup also presents a great live-betting opportunity—watch the first 10 minutes to see which team takes control of the tempo before making additional plays.

Texas A&M -7.5 vs. Yale

-110, MGM

Texas A&M’s physicality and dominance on the boards should be the difference in this matchup, making them a strong play at -7.5. Yale is a trendy 13-over-4 upset pick, but FTN’s model sees a 7% edge on the Aggies, suggesting the market is overvaluing the Bulldogs. As long as Yale’s John Poulakidas doesn’t catch fire from deep, A&M’s size and toughness should wear them down over 40 minutes.
