The 2024-25 college basketball season starts with a bang — an all-day, 112-game slate — on Monday.
No. 8 Baylor vs. No. 6 Gonzaga anchors today's season-opening schedule, with the Bulldogs listed as 6.5-point favorites based on the latest college basketball odds.
Gonzaga has also landed the lion's share of the action as 74% of spread tickets and 78% of the money has pushed the 'Zags from -2.5 to -6.5 since Saturday.
So, that begs the question: Should bettors tail this significant spread move for tonight's showdown?
Or is the smartest college basketball pick for Baylor vs. Gonzaga to buy back the Bears following the four-point spread adjustment?
Thankfully, Action PRO's college basketball projections provide an extremely definitive answer.
