Lines last updated Tuesday at 6:44 p.m. ET. Moneyline: Celtic +600 (bet $100 to win $600) | Bayern Munich -250 (bet $250 to win $100) | Draw +425 (bet $100 to win $425) Celtic +600 (bet $100 to win $600) | Bayern Munich -250 (bet $250 to win $100) | Draw +425 (bet $100 to win $425) Over/Under: 3.5 (O: -102 | U: -135) Celtic vs. Bayern Munich picks and predictions Prediction Bayern Munich 3, Celtic 1 PASS. Unfortunately, there's no great moneyline play here. Bayern Munich should have its best team taking the pitch to avoid a first-leg deficit as it will return home the following week. Munich throttled weaker sides in the league phase and had 2.4 or more expected goals in 5 of 8 matches. Against stronger sides, Celtic, which is a major underdog despite being at home, struggled. It only faced a handful of quality sides in its 8 matches and had 3.1 fewer expected goals against Aston Villa, 2.1 fewer against Atalanta, and 0.5 fewer against Dortmund. It shouldn't be expected to keep pace with a juggernaut like Bayern here. Avoid a moneyline play as Munich is just too expensive to take to win outright. BET OVER 3.5 (-102). While Celtic may defend at a high level in league play, Bayern should be a different beast. Offensively, Celtic is averaging 2.92 goals per game in league play and scored in 6 of 8 UEFA league phase matches. It had at least 1.0 expected goals in 5 of 8 matches as well. Celtic struggled against quality sides as well, allowing a combined 11 goals to Aston Villa and Dortmund. Bayern Munich, which is led by star F Harry Kane, went Over this total in 4 of 8 league phase matches, scoring 3 or more goals in 3 of those 8 matches while allowing at least 1 goal in 6 of those 8 contests. It is averaging 3.10 goals per game in Bundesliga play. Considering the aggressive offenses taking the pitch, back OVER 3.5 (-102).

Nathan Beighle USA TODAY Sports Hear this story The No. 16 Marquette Golden Eagles (18-6, 9-4 Big East) welcome the DePaul Blue Demons (11-13, 2-11) to Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee Tuesday. Tip is set for 8:30 p.m. ET (Peacock). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's college basketball odds around the DePaul vs. Marquetteodds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions. Marquette, which is No. 16 in the USA TODAY Sports Men's Basketball Coaches Poll, enters on a 3-game losing streak. It lost to the No. 21 Creighton Bluejays 77-67 on the road Saturday, closing as a 3.5-point underdog. The Golden Eagles have failed to cover in 3 straight games and are 11-13 against the spread (ATS). The Blue Demons lost to the Villanova Wildcats 59-49 Wednesday, failing to cover as a 6.5-point underdog. They have failed to hit 70 points in 4 of their last 5 games and are 2-3 ATS in that span.

Moneyline (ML) : DePaul +1100 (bet $100 to win $1,100) | Marquette -2500 (bet $2,500 to win $100) : DePaul +1100 (bet $100 to win $1,100) | Marquette -2500 (bet $2,500 to win $100) Against the spread (ATS) : DePaul +17.5 (-110) | Marquette -17.5 (-110) : DePaul +17.5 (-110) | Marquette -17.5 (-110) Over/Under (O/U): 144.5 (O: -105 | U: -115) DePaul at Marquette picks and predictions Prediction Marquette 72, DePaul 59 PASS. There's no reason to take a moneyline play here. Marquette is too expensive to play on the moneyline, especially riding a 3-game losing streak. DePaul, on the other hand, has struggled immensely on the road and is unlikely to pull off the upset against a top-25 side. BET DEPAUL +17.5 (-110). The Blue Demons have covered well as a double-digit underdog as of late. They are 2-0 ATS in their 2 games as an underdog of 10 points or greater. DePaul is 4-3 ATS in its last 7 games as well. Marquette has failed to cover 3 in a row and has often come up short as a double-digit favorite in conference games. It is 1-5 ATS in that position this season. The Golden Eagles are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 at home. Take DEPAUL +18.5 (-110). BET UNDER 144.5 (-115). The Golden Eagles are 1-3 O/U in their previous 4 games and 10-14 O/U on the season. They have scored 69 or fewer points in 3 straight games. DePaul, which scored just 49 points in its last game, has gone Under in 3 straight and in 4 of its last 5 outings. It has allowed 73 or fewer in 5 of its last 6 as well, so its defense has been much improved over the last few weeks. Take UNDER 143.5 (-110). Play our free daily Pick'em Challenge and win! Play now!

Alabama at Arkansas odds, picks and predictions
Nathan Beighle USA TODAY Sports The Arkansas Razorbacks (14-8, 3-6 SEC) welcome the No. 3 Alabama Crimson Tide (19-3, 8-1) to Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, Ark., Saturday. Tip is set for 8:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's college basketball odds around the Alabama vs. Arkansasodds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions. Alabama, which is No. 3 in the USA TODAY Sports Men's Basketball Coaches Poll, enters on a 5-game win streak. The Crimson Tide beat the Georgia Bulldogs 90-69 Saturday, closing as a 12.5-point home favorite. They have covered in 4 of their last 5 games and are 13-9 against the spread (ATS) on the season. The Razorbacks beat the Texas Longhorns 78-70 on the road Wednesday a few days after taking down the No. 14 Kentucky Wildcats 89-79 on the road. They respectively closed as a 7-point and 9-point underdog, covering in both. Arkansas is 3-1 ATS in its last 4 games yet just 7-14-1 ATS on the season.

Moneyline (ML) : Alabama -200 (bet $200 to win $100) | Arkansas +165 (bet $100 to win $165) : Alabama -200 (bet $200 to win $100) | Arkansas +165 (bet $100 to win $165) Against the spread (ATS) : Alabama -4.5 (-110) | Arkansas +4.5 (-110) : Alabama -4.5 (-110) | Arkansas +4.5 (-110) Over/Under (O/U): 164.5 (O: -115 | U: -105) Alabama at Arkansas picks and predictions Prediction Alabama 88, Arkansas 81 PASS. There's no reason to look at the moneyline. Alabama has been on fire and is too expensive to take as a road favorite while Arkansas hasn't consistently proven it can beat good teams. Avoid this option. BET ALABAMA -4.5 (-110). The Crimson Tide have covered in every conference road game it has played, going 4-0 ATS in those. They have been on fire offensively as well, scoring at least 88 in 4 of their last 5, so they have the potency to pull ahead by this margin. Alabama is 9-2 ATS in its last 11. The Razorbacks, despite going 3-1 ATS in their last 4, are just 3-6 ATS in their last 9, all of which have been SEC games. Arkansas has scored 78 or fewer in all but one of those, so it might be able to keep pace with Alabama. It is just 1-3 ATS in its last 4 at home as well. Considering those trends, back ALABAMA -4.5 (-110). BET OVER 164.5 (-115). The Razorbacks have found their groove on the offensive end over the last 2 games and will play at the hectic Alabama pace. Arkansas is 2-0 O/U in its last 2 and 3-3 O/U in its last 6. The Crimson Tide, who have hit triple digits 6 times this season, have gone Over in 3 of their last 5 and in 6 of their last 9. Three of their top-4 scoring weapons are shooting over 48% from the field as well. Play OVER 164.5 (-115). Play our free daily Pick'em Challenge and win! Play now!

Marquette at Creighton odds, picks and predictions
Nathan Beighle USA TODAY Sports Hear this story The Creighton Bluejays (17-6) welcome the No. 11 Marquette Golden Eagles (18-5, 9-3) to CHI Health Center Omaha in Omaha, NE, Saturday. Tip is set for 2 p.m. ET (FOX). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's college basketball odds around the Marquette vs. Creightonodds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions. Marquette, which is No. 11 in the USA TODAY Sports Men's Basketball Coaches Poll, enters on a 2-game losing streak. It is coming off a 70-64 road loss to the No. 10 St. John's Red Storm Tuesday, closing as a 2.5-point underdog. The Golden Eagles have won 3 of their last 5 and 3-2 against the spread (ATS) in that span. They are 11-12 ATS on the season. The Bluejays beat the Providence Friars 80-69 Wednesday, closing as a 3.5-point road favorite. Creighton has ripped off 8 straight wins with its last loss coming Jan. 3, a 79-71 road defeat at the hand of Marquette. It did cover as a 10.5-point underdog in that battle. The Bluejays are 9-0 ATS in 2025 and 14-7-2 ATS on the season.

Lines last updated at 9:50 a.m. ET. Expert Super Bowl picks: Unique betting insights only at USA TODAY. Moneyline (ML) : Marquette +125 (bet $100 to win $125) | Creighton -155 (bet $155 to win $100) : Marquette +125 (bet $100 to win $125) | Creighton -155 (bet $155 to win $100) Against the spread (ATS) : Marquette +2.5 (-105) | Creighton -2.5 (-115) : Marquette +2.5 (-105) | Creighton -2.5 (-115) Over/Under (O/U): 145.5 (O: -115 | U: -105) Marquette at Creighton picks and predictions Prediction Creighton 78, Marquette 73 PASS. While one could find some value in the Golden Eagles to pull off the upset on the road, they haven't played well enough as of late to back. At the same time, the Bluejays are better played on the spread, having won and covered in their last 5 games as a favorite. BET CREIGHTON -2.5 (-115). The Bluejays are on a roll right now, and at home, they might feel invincible. They have lost one game at home this season, against Nebraska on Nov. 22, 2023, and are 5-0-1 ATS in home games with a single-digit spread. Creighton is 13-1-1 ATS in its last 15. The Golden Eagles have struggled to score consistently, which will pose an issue Saturday. They have tallied 69 or fewer in 2 straight and have allowed at least 70 in 3 of their last 4. Marquette is 3-6 ATS in its last 9. Take CREIGHTON -2.5 (-115). BET OVER 145.5 (-115). Both teams can score efficiently and have shown that over the last few games. Creighton has gone Over in 2 of its last 3, scoring at least 79 in 3 of its last 4 games. Meanwhile, Marquette has scored at least 76 in 3 of its last 5. The Golden Eagles have traded off going Over and Under in their last 5 games, primed to go Over against Creighton. Considering those trends, back OVER 145.5 (-115).

TCU at Iowa State odds, picks and predictions
Nathan Beighle USA TODAY Sports The No. 8 Iowa State Cyclones (17-5, 7-4 Big 12) welcome the TCU Horned Frogs (12-10, 5-6) to Hilton Coliseum from Ames, Iowa, Saturday. Tip is set for noon ET (ESPN+). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's college basketball odds around the TCU vs. Iowa Stateodds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions. Iowa State enters on a 3-game losing streak, 2 of which (Arizona and Kansas State) came against unranked teams at the time. The most recent loss was a 69-52 setback at the No. 17 Kansas Jayhawks Monday, closing as a 3-point underdog with the Under (146) hitting. The Cyclones are 2-4 straight up and against the spread (ATS) in their last 6 games. Iowa State is 12-10 ATS on the season and is led by G Curtis Jones (17.4 point per game). The Horned Frogs knocked off the West Virginia Mountaineers 65-60, covering as 1.5-point home favorites Wednesday with a low Under (128) still cashing. G Vasean Allette had a double-double (22 points, 11 boards), while G Noah Reynolds added 20 points -- that's 42 of the Horned Frogs' 65 points. TCU has won 2 in a row but is 2-3 in its last 5. The Frogs are 2-3 ATS in that span, including 0-3 ATS as underdogs. They are 8-14 ATS overall. - Rankings: USA TODAY Sports Men's Basketball Coaches Poll Stream select live college basketball games and full replays:Get ESPN+ Expert Super Bowl picks: Unique betting insights only at USA TODAY. TCU at Iowa State odds Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 1:28 a.m. ET. Moneyline (ML) : TCU +800 (bet $100 to win $800) | Iowa State -1400 (bet $1,400 to win $100) : TCU +800 (bet $100 to win $800) | Iowa State -1400 (bet $1,400 to win $100) Against the spread : TCU +15.5 (-110) | Iowa State -15.5 (-110) : TCU +15.5 (-110) | Iowa State -15.5 (-110) Over/Under (O/U): 137.5 (O: -110 | U: -110) TCU at Iowa State picks and predictions Prediction Iowa State 77, TCU 57 PASS. Iowa State (-1400) is far too expensive to play as a massive home favorite. TCU (+800), which has lost 8 of 9 away from home -- either on the road or a neutral court -- isn't worth a play even as a sizable road underdog. BET IOWA STATE -15.5 (-110). The Cyclones haven't performed well as of late, but they have covered consistently as a massive favorite. In their last 6 games as a favorite of 8 or more, they are 5-1 ATS. Of those games that were at home, they are 3-1 ATS. Iowa State has allowed 59 or fewer points in 3 of its last 5 at home, so it should defend well enough to separate itself. The Horned Frogs have scored 68 or fewer points in 5 straight and 61 or fewer in 3 of those 5. They are 1-2 ATS in their last 3 games as double-digit underdogs. TCU lost to No. 5 Houston by 19 earlier in the season on the road, and this battle should mirror that one. TAKE IOWA STATE -15.5 (-110). BET UNDER 137.5 (-110). If there's one thing both sides can agree on, it is the Under. Iowa State has gone Under in 2 straight games and in 5 of its last 7. The Cyclones are 10-12 O/U on the season, scoring 61 or fewer points in their last 2 outings. TCU takes that to the next level, having gone 6-15-1 O/U on the season, including a current streak of 5 Unders in a row. The Horned Frogs have allowed 60 or fewer points in 2 straight and have only allowed 75 or more points 5 times this season. Considering these trends, BET UNDER 137.5 (-110).
