College basketball expert picks and predictions
With college basketball action limited on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, we’ve got 46 games on Friday night in advance of a lot of early games on Saturday. Today’s card lacks panache, but there are some good betting opportunities to be had. We do have a lot of early games on Friday as well, as teams play matinees to be able to let the players go home to family if they are nearby or to settle in for the holidays with friends and coaches.
When there are a lot of early games, I restrict my games to anything starting about 4 p.m. ET or later, depending on the size of the card and my start time with handicapping. Today, I had to record an early-morning version of the College Football Betting Podcast, so it was a bit later of a start, but there are still enough late games to pick from.
