NCAAB Picks Against the Spread Today
Saturday, February 28, 2026
Today's college basketball picks against the spread (ATS). The AI analyzes KenPom efficiency ratings, tempo, strength of schedule, conference-specific ATS trends, and historical seed matchups to project margins and find spreads worth targeting. Each pick shows the spread line, the AI's ATS lean, and the confidence tier. For moneyline picks, see NCAAB moneyline picks. For only the highest-confidence plays, see NCAAB best bets.
How College Basketball ATS Betting Works
College basketball spreads are set by oddsmakers based on power ratings, but the sheer volume of games (350+ Division I teams) means lines are softer than in the NBA. The AI exploits this by running KenPom-style adjusted efficiency calculations for every matchup and comparing its projected margin to the posted spread. When the model's projection disagrees with the market by 3+ points, that's where the ATS edge lives.
Conference play sharpens the model further. Teams that have played each other before generate richer data — scouting adjustments, style matchups, and travel patterns all factor in. Mid-major games are especially fertile ground for ATS value because the market doesn't price them as efficiently as Power Five games. During March Madness, the AI adjusts for single-elimination dynamics where underdogs historically cover at elevated rates in the first two rounds.

College Basketball Spread Betting Tips
The single most profitable ATS angle in college basketball is fading public favorites in marquee matchups. When a top-25 team plays on national TV, casual bettors pile on, inflating the spread beyond what the data supports. The AI detects this by comparing its efficiency projection to the market line — when public money pushes the spread 2 or more points past fair value, the underdog side becomes a strong ATS play.
Home court advantage matters more in college basketball than any other major sport. College venues are smaller, louder, and more intimidating — some programs cover ATS at home 60%+ of the time. However, the market often over-adjusts for home court with blue-blood programs like Duke and Kansas. The AI calibrates venue-specific edges using years of historical data, not reputation alone, to find the true home court value in every spread.
