UCLA basketball odds – David vs Goliath games highlight weekend
Online sports betting odds: Bruins looking to manhandle Florida International
- Golden Panthers in tough at UCLA
- Flyers looking for upset against Marquette
- Musketeers’ team game too much for RedHawks
Online betting players are getting warmed up for the college hoops betting season, as most of the big teams are going through the non-conference portion of their schedules. UCLA and Xavier should cruise to sports wagering victory, but those who bet on sports should be wary of making Marquette one of your NCAA basketball betting picks this weekend.
Florida International vs UCLA odds
The No.13 Bruins (3-1) should be heavy basketball betting favorites at home over the Sun Belt’s Golden Panthers (3-3), and UCLA will be hungry after beating Southern Illinois in the consolation game of the 2K Sports Classic. After being upset by Michigan as 10-point NCAA basketball betting favorites, the Bruins came out with purpose, forcing 23 turnovers on the day.
The Golden Panthers have lost two straight and they lack the offense to stay with the Bruins, especially at Pauley Pavilion where UCLA has won 16 of its last 17 games. Bet on the UCLA Bruins to hang a big number on Florida International.
Dayton vs Marquette odds
The Flyers (4-0) will hopefully still be unbeaten by the time they reach the No. 15 Golden Eagles (4-0), as Dayton meets Auburn on Friday in the Chicago Invitational, while Marquette takes on Northern Iowa on the same day.
Marquette isn’t a big team but it is very fast and will probably be the college basketball betting favorite in this neutral-site game. However, the Flyers have played the Golden Eagles tight, winning four of their seven meetings. Defense will be the difference in a big upset, so bet on the Dayton Flyers.
Miami (OH) vs Xavier odds
The Musketeers (5-0) have the upper hand in this state rivalry, winning seven of their last 10 over the RedHawks (2-2). But Miami (OH) came out on top last year at home as 4.5-point basketball odds underdogs, and the Musketeers would love to exact revenge.
Xavier is coming off a pair of tough wins over Virginia Tech and Memphis in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off, while the RedHawks recovered from losses at UCLA and Pittsburgh with a victory at Wright State. Bet on the Xavier Musketeers to swarm the RedHawks this weekend.
