Washington vs. Nebraska odds, prediction: Men’s college basketball picks, best bets Wednesday

Nebraska college basketball is having a historic season, but the betting market is still struggling to fully adjust. The Cornhuskers are one of two remaining undefeated teams and have their opponents’ attention, yet they are 18-0 overall and 7-0 in Big Ten play. Plus, they are still performing well against the spread (ATS), having covered four straight games. No. 7 Nebraska hosts Washington (10-8) on Wednesday night as an 11.5-point favorite with a total of 150.5 points. The Huskers will eventually lose games because the conference is just too deep. However, they do not seem to let up against inferior competition. Washington is a decent team that has not quite played up to its abilities with a 2-5 conference record, although the Big Ten is pretty stacked. According to KenPom.com, the Huskies rank around 60th in both adjusted offensive and defensive rating. They are also 4-2 as a conference underdog this season, which does reflect well on second-year coach Danny Sprinkle. • Check out the best College Basketball betting sites • Read our guide on how to bet on College Basketball In my eyes, this game will be decided by the 3-point line. The Huskies rank 312th in shooting percentage behind the arc and second-worst in the conference. Meanwhile, Nebraska is tops in the Big Ten at 39.1%. I have a 91-77-2 ATS record in this Post sports section, and my next pick is Nebraska -11.5 points (-110, BetMGM).
