Best college basketball picks, optimal 6-1 parlay, bets, odds for February 17, 2022 from proven model

The SportsLine Projection Model has revealed its best college basketball picks for Thursday

There are 66 college basketball games on Thursday that the SportsLine Projection Model has simulated. It looked through expected blowouts like Eastern Illinois against Belmont (-27 at Caesars Sportsbook) and tight contests like the tilt between North Dakota State and Oral Roberts (+1). After going through those games and more, we've found three games that make for a great parlay.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every Division I college basketball game 10,000 times. Over the past five-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated an impressive profit of almost $2,000 for $100 players on its top-rated college basketball picks against the spread. Anyone who has followed it has seen huge returns.

Here are the Projection Model's top three picks for Thursday's games:

Home Team	Away Team	Handicap	Over/Under	Model Confidence
MRSH	ODU	-2	146	76%	See Pick Here
CSN	LBSU	+6	138.5	69%	See Pick Here
NICH	MCNS	-10	151	66%	See Pick Here

Despite paying out $696 on a $100 bet, the SportsLine model sees this parlay winning an amazing 35 percent of the time. That works out to an expected return of $241 for a $100 bet.

Marshall is 4-7 against the spread in their last 11 games vs teams allowing more than 72 points per game. Cal State Northridge is 6-1 against the spread in their last seven games vs. teams that win less than 50 percent of games. Nicholls State is 5-6-1 against the spread in their last 12 games vs. teams allowing more than 72 points per game.

Before making any college basketball picks, you should visit SportsLine to see what the model is saying about Marshall vs. Old Dominion, Cal State Northridge vs. Long Beach State, and Nicholls vs. McNeese State. Combine all three of these picks for a shot at a huge payday.
