Top Saturday college basketball picks
After simulating every game 10,000 times, the model is high on the LSU Tigers (+11.5) to cover on the road against the Texas A&M Aggies at 8:30 p.m. ET. LSU gained some momentum down the stretch in December, winning three of its final four games heading into conference play. The Tigers' lone loss during that stretch came on the road against then-No. 19 Texas, but they stayed within 11 points in that game.
Their most recent victory was a 96-55 final against Northwestern State, as they easily covered the 25.5-point spread last Friday. Senior guard Jordan Wright leads the team with 14.6 points per game, while senior forward Will Baker is adding 12.5 points and 5.2 rebounds. Texas A&M has looked shaky following its 5-0 start to the season, losing four of its last eight games. That is one reason why SportsLine's model has LSU covering this spread in well over 60% of the latest simulations. See which other college basketball parlay picks to make here.
