California Baptist vs. Oregon Prediction & College Basketball Picks 12/12

⭐ NCAA Best Bet Today #1:  California Baptist +12.5 (-110) at ESPN Bet

After a two-game skid, the Oregon Ducks have bounced back by beating Michigan and recording a dominant win over UTEP, 71-49. California Baptist enters with a 6-2 record and is projected to be one of the top contenders in the Western Athletic Conference. 

We're going to back California Baptist +12.5 (-110) at ESPN Bet. The Lancers have a strong enough defense to keep this margin within the spread. California Baptist is 39th in the country in points allowed per game (65) and limits easy scores, ranking 13th in assists allowed per game (9.3). 

Oregon has also struggled on the defensive end of the floor, ranking 148th in points allowed (71.5) and ranks 154th in defensive effective field goal percentage (49.4). Of the two teams, California Baptist expects to come into this more motivated facing a Power Five program, whereas this could be a lookahead spot for Oregon with Syracuse coming up on Sunday. 

Betting Pick: California Baptist +12.5 (-110) at ESPN Bet

NCAA Best Bet Today #2: ⭐ Under 137.5 (-110) at ESPN Bet

For Tuesday's matchup between California Baptist and Oregon, we see a clear edge on the total. We're going to target the under based on California Baptist's defense and inability to score with much consistency. 

We like California Baptist-Oregon Under 137.5 (-110) at ESPN Bet. The Lancers struggle on the offensive end, ranking just 177th in scoring offense (72.7) and 214th in assists per game (12.2). California baptist is also one of the worst shooting teams in the country, ranking 184th in effective field goal percentage (50%) and just 255th in two-point shooting percentage (47%). The under should also be assisted by California Baptist's poor free-throw shooting. On the season, the Lancers rank 292nd in free-throw efficiency (66%). 

Oregon's size and athleticism should be enough to limit California Baptist's poor offense. The Lancers do play solid enough defense to limit Oregon, ranking 39th in scoring defense (65.0). California Baptist is also one of the slowest teams in the country, ranking 321st in possessions per contest (67.8). We expect the Lancers to continue with a slower pace in hopes of keeping the game close. All signs point to the under in this one. 

Betting Pick:  Under 137.5 (-110) at ESPN Bet
