2025 College Basketball odds are heating up as football season wraps up, and many American bettors are now turning their focus to college basketball. While some cautiously test the waters, others are fully committed to the excitement of March Madness.
Here’s the “Saturday Trifecta” for the first day of March, featuring odds updated as of February 28.
’25 CBB Plays (3-3, -0.4 units)
No. 1 Auburn (-4.5, O/U 166.5) @ No. 17 Kentucky
Betting against the top-ranked team is never an easy choice, but sometimes it’s necessary. Teams that excel in shooting can keep pace with Auburn. Kentucky fits this mold well, boasting nearly 40% accuracy from beyond the arc and close to 60% on two-point shots. Taking the extra point the sportsbooks have offered on Auburn could be a wise move, especially if the Wildcats maintain their shooting touch.
Utah State @ Colorado State (-1.5, O/U 150.5)
The assessment of Utah State remains unchanged from two weeks ago. Under the guidance of Jerrod Calhoun, the Aggies employ a distinctive offensive strategy that could pose challenges in the NCAA Tournament, particularly if they advance to the second round. Betting on Utah State following a loss against a solid, yet not exceptional, Colorado State team seems promising. The Rams may lack the offensive flexibility needed to secure a victory.
George Mason (-2.5, O/U 125.5) @ Duquesne
