College Basketball Parlay Picks, Odds & Player Props for 12/04

NCAA Best Bet Today #1: ⭐ Iowa-Purdue Over 162.5 Points (-110) at FanDuel

Iowa's uptempo style and lack of defense have made the Hawkeyes an over team this season. The over has hit in five of seven games, with Iowa ranking seventh in scoring (90.7) and 245th in scoring defense (75.7). Now the Hawkeyes will face a Purdue team with national player of the year favorite, Zach Edey, who is surrounded by a plethora of shooters. 

We like Iowa-Purdue Over 162.5 Points (-110) at FanDuel. Purdue is 18th in the country in scoring (84.6) and ninth in 3-point percentage (41%). With Edey inside set to dominate the lane, the Boilermakers have the shooters to complement their center with ideal perimeter shooting. 

Iowa's pace should also make this a high-scoring game. The Hawkeyes have the 19th-most possessions per game at 77.2, while Purdue is not that far off, averaging 74.7 possessions per contest. With two efficient, uptempo offenses set to face off, we're going to take the over and expect a lot of points. 

Betting Pick: Iowa-Purdue Over 162.5 Points (-110) at FanDuel

NCAA Best Bet Today #2: ⭐ Zach Edey Over 24.5 Points (-105) at BetMGM

For our first player prop, we're going to target Purdue center Zach Edey, who is the favorite to win the Naismith Award at +105 odds on {anchor("BetMGM Sportsbook","GDC - US - Site Offer - Click",4576,"_blank","","nofollow","gtm-content-play-now")|raw}}. We're going to look to back Edey in the points player prop market against Iowa. 

We like Zach Edey Over 24.5 Points (-105) at BetMGM. Edey has scored at least 25 points in four of his last six games and is averaging a career-best 23.5 points per game and shooting the best field goal percentage this season, converting at a 60.8% rate. 

Iowa has no answers for Edey inside. In addition to lacking the personnel to match up with the 7-4 center, Iowa ranks 245th in scoring defense (75.7) and 127th in effective defensive field goal percentage (48%). The Hawkeyes can't match up with Edey, so we expect a dominant showing from the favorite to win the national player of the year award. 

Betting Pick:  Zach Edey Over 24.5 Points (-105) at BetMGM

⭐ NCAA Best Bet Today #3:  Fletcher Loyer Over 10.5 Points (-120) at FanDuel

For the last leg of our Iowa vs. Purdue parlay, we will target Purdue guard Fletcher Loyer. The sophomore guard is averaging 10.8 points per game this season while making 37% of his attempts from 3-point range. We will look to back Loyer in the player point market. 

We like Fletcher Loyer Over 10.5 Points (-120) at FanDuel. Iowa struggles to defend, especially the 3-point line where Loyer roams. The Hawkeyes rank 91st in defensive 3-point percentage (30%), while Loyer attempts 4.4 3s a game, making 37% of his shots from beyond the arc. Given the attention Iowa will need to give Edey inside, we expect Loyer to find success from the perimeter. 

Loyer excelled in his one meeting against Iowa last season, scoring 17 points while making 7 of 16 shot attempts in Purdue's 87-73 win. He has also played well as of late, averaging 14.8 points over his last four games and making 6 of 20 from beyond the arc in that span. We're confident in taking the over on Loyer's scoring prop for the final leg of our same game parlay. 

Betting Pick: Fletcher Loyer Over 10.5 Points (-120) at FanDuel
