After an underwhelming first two days of the NCAA Tournament, there should be more excitement with today’s slate of games in college basketball. I asked the AI Model for its favorite bets for the night slate. Here’s what it suggests for you to profit at the top-rated sportsbooks.

NCAAB Pick


BYU Cougars vs. Wisconsin Badgers

Saturday, March 22, 2025 – 07:45 PM EDT at Ball Arena


The AI Model predicts Wisconsin will earn a 79-76 win over BYU. Meanwhile, Wisconsin is just -115 on the moneyline in tonight’s game. According to the model, there’s plenty of value in the Badgers tonight.

Foul Shots Will Hurt BYU!

The BYU Cougars have shot a 57.2% effective field goal percentage. They can hit shots anywhere on the court. However, the Cougars aren’t nearly as efficient when it comes to the foul line.

The Cougars have hit only 70.4% of foul shots. They also don’t get to the foul line at a super high rate in the first place. That should hurt BYU down the stretch.

Wisconsin Is Better In Many Areas

The Wisconsin Badgers have shot a 53.8% effective field goal percentage. But ultimately, they’ll get better looks from three. After all, BYU has allowed teams to shoot 35% from deep this season. Wisconsin should take advantage.

Plus, the Badgers have shot a college basketball-best 82.7% from the foul line. That’ll help them close out this game and earn the win.

The Pick

Take Wisconsin on the moneyline.
