<h2>NCAA Basketball Consensus Picks Examples</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-45885" src="https://wp.bettingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Screenshot_26-2-2024_95127_www.bettingnews.com_-e1708959376699.jpg" alt="college basketball odds example" width="1023" height="576" srcset="https://stagingwp.bettingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Screenshot_26-2-2024_95127_www.bettingnews.com_-e1708959376699.jpg 1023w, https://stagingwp.bettingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Screenshot_26-2-2024_95127_www.bettingnews.com_-e1708959376699-300x169.jpg 300w, https://stagingwp.bettingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Screenshot_26-2-2024_95127_www.bettingnews.com_-e1708959376699-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1023px) 100vw, 1023px" /></p>
<p>How do these college basketball consensus picks work?</p>
<p>In this example, Baylor is hosting Houston in a Big 12 matchup between two of the top teams in <a href="https://www.bettingnews.com/category/articles/ncaab/">college basketball</a>.</p>
<p>Of our NCAA basketball picks sources, 86% are picking Houston to win the game outright. And of the sportsbooks from which we list odds, the best moneyline odds for Houston can be found at <a href="https://affiliates.bettingnews.com/register/bovada/">Bovada</a>, where the Cougars are -135 to win.</p>
<p>Moving to the spread, 75% of our NCAA basketball picks sources are picking Houston to cover the -2.5 spread. The best spread odds for Houston -2.5 can also be found at Bovada, which has Houston -2.5 at -105 odds.</p>
<p>Lastly, 75% of our sources are picking the game to go over the listed total of 135. The best odds for over 135 can be found at <a href="https://affiliates.bettingnews.com/register/betonline/">BetOnline</a>, <a href="https://affiliates.bettingnews.com/register/betus/">BetUS</a>, and <a href="https://affiliates.bettingnews.com/register/mybookie/">MyBookie</a>, all of whom have over 135 at -110 odds.</p>
<p>When you link those percentages and those best available odds for the corresponding betting lines, you get the consensus picks for the moneyline, point spread, and total.</p>
<p>Our team of college basketball writers—Eddie Griffin, Nate Hornung, and Colby Marchio (check out the Betting News “About Us” page to learn more about each writer)—may use this information when offering their picks for college basketball matchups. Sometimes it will be to back up why a certain pick is the right move, while sometimes they will offer up why they are fading a listed pick.</p>
<p>Nothing is guaranteed in sports betting, so the market consensus isn&#8217;t always right. However, it is a great reference point to see where the expert&#8217;s thoughts are while doing your own research on a play.</p>
<h2>How Is the Market Consensus Calculated?</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-45884" src="https://wp.bettingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Screenshot_26-2-2024_94617_www.bettingnews.com_-e1708958895426.jpg" alt="College basketball picks example" width="1022" height="574" srcset="https://stagingwp.bettingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Screenshot_26-2-2024_94617_www.bettingnews.com_-e1708958895426.jpg 1022w, https://stagingwp.bettingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Screenshot_26-2-2024_94617_www.bettingnews.com_-e1708958895426-300x168.jpg 300w, https://stagingwp.bettingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Screenshot_26-2-2024_94617_www.bettingnews.com_-e1708958895426-768x431.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1022px) 100vw, 1022px" /></p>
<p>From the NCAA basketball odds that come from our listed sportsbook sources, here are the best available odds for the Houston vs Baylor matchup:</p>
<h3>Moneyline (ML)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Houston -135 (Bovada)</li>
<li>Baylor +115 (Bovada)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Point Spread</h3>
<ul>
<li>Houston -2.5 (-105) (Bovada)</li>
<li>Baylor +2.5 (-108) (BetOnline)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Total (O/U)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Over 135 (-110) (BetOnline, BetUS, and MyBookie)</li>
<li>Under 135 (-105) (Bovada)</li>
</ul>
<p>The picks we recommend for this game are determined based on the information provided. And based on the percentages and the best available odds for the corresponding picks, there are three clear recommendations.</p>
<p>With the majority of the sources backing Houston to win and cover and for the over to hit, we would recommend betting Houston ML at Bovada, Houston -2.5 at Bovada, and the over 135 at BetOnline, BetUS, or MyBookie.</p>
