••• TOUGHEST CONFERENCES TO CAP! •••
------------------------------------------------------
With the college football season slowly coming to a close, it’s time to turn the focus over to college basketball. The early season tournaments are over and conference play is just starting to heat up. Do yourself a favor and take a look at the five toughest conferences to handicap before placing your college basketball bets.
• ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE
-----------------------------------------
There is Duke and then there are just a whole lot of questions surrounding this conference. The undefeated Blue Devils are the only viable national title contender within the ACC and are solid against the spread at 7-4. Once you get past that point, you have to rely on teams like Wake Forest (4-5-1 ATS), which lost to Stetson and UNC-Wilmington, and Georgia Tech (4-3 ATS), which lost by 17 points to Kennesaw State. Be very careful when placing bets on ACC teams, as there seems to be a lack of overall talent in the conference and that could lead to some weird game results.
• BIG-EAST
--------------
The massive Big East conference has a few good teams - Syracuse, Pittsburgh and Connecticut come to mind. It also has its share of bottom dwellers. While a nice divide between dominant teams and bottom dwellers would usually make things easy for bettors, the Big East bucks that trend in part because there are just so many teams. The main issue within the conference is that, outside of Georgetown (9-3 ATS), a lot of the big-name Big East teams haven’t fared well against the spread. Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Villanova are all in the Top 10 but are a combined 11-18 against the spread. When it comes to the Big East, expect intense, low-scoring physical games, which don’t exactly lead to a lot of winning bets against the spread. Betting on the total might be the better course of action for the Big East.
• BIG-TWELVE
------------------
The Big 12’s issue is that there are too many good teams in the conference. Kansas, Missouri, Kansas State, Texas, Texas A&M are all solid programs that would be contenders in any conference. There is going to be a lot of back and forth within this conference, making it difficult to place bets with a ton of certainty. Kansas is the clear team to beat at this point at 12-0 but is only a modest 5-4 ATS. Texas is one of the better teams against the spread (6-2) but familiarizing yourself with last year’s season might not be a bad idea. The team started very hot and was ranked No. 1 in the nation at one point. But, once the conference season started, the team collapsed and ended up getting bounced out of the NCAA Tournament in the first round by Wake Forest.
• CONFERENCE USA
-------------------------
The first thing to know is that Memphis is not the Memphis you think it is. This is not the team filled with one-and-done players like it was a few years ago under John Calipari. This is pretty evident in their brutal 1-7 record against the spread. For C-USA, you have to throw out your preconceived notions of which teams are good and bad, and put bets on teams like UAB (9-2 ATS) and not teams like Memphis and UTEP (5-6 ATS).
• PAC-TEN
--------------
The Pac-10 is basically the opposite of the Big 12. There is a void of great teams and, overall, it is just a huge mess of a conference. Washington and Arizona are the two best teams right now, but that really isn’t saying much. Both have been great against the spread so far this season, with Arizona at 9-3 ATS and Washington at 8-3-1. But be wary of placing your full trust in these teams. Outside of those two, there is a bevy of lackluster teams. UCLA looks to have improved a bit from its dreadful 14-18 record last year, but is still nowhere near the level of the dominant Bruins teams of the early 2000s.
