Baylor vs Iowa State Best Bets
Iowa State -1 (-112)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
The Cyclones are likely playing to remain a No. 2 seed, and if you think they’ll win then it’s absolutely worth betting them to cover a point, given the slight odds advantage.
This should be a highly competitive game, one that could end up being settled in OT. But the only way this bet wouldn’t hit would be if it pushes, which is why it’s worth laying the single point.
Iowa State Moneyline (-120)
bet365 Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
Why would we include a moneyline wager if we are advocating laying a point? Because bet365 is giving all moneyline bettors Early Payout on college-basketball wagers when the team they bet on builds an 18-point lead.
It may seem unlikely that either team takes an 18-point lead in the game, but it’s worth it to wager just in case — and given the potential for the Cyclones to defeat the Bears.
