It’s natural to relax when the holiday NCAAB betting season rolls around, but teams who feel they have a legitimate shot at a basketball championship this season will not be taking any time off. The Miami Hurricanes will be sure to be working hard at the Palestra in Philadelphia, PA, when they hook up with the La Salle Explorers on Tuesday, December 22 at 5 PM EST on CBSSN.

How to bet Miami (FL) Hurricanes vs La Salle Explorers

The Miami Hurricanes are pretty heavy favorites in this one, so don’t expect to find much value. If you like the idea of La Salle being able to perform well on home court, then maybe you could be tempted by the spread. If all else fails, take a look at the OVER/UNDER.

Why bet on the Miami (FL) Hurricanes

The Hurricanes (9-1) are sure to still be seething about their 78-77 loss to Northeastern earlier in the season, but they are not showing it, as they have gone on to win all 4 games since that defeat. If you combine road and neutral site games for the Hurricanes this season, you get a team that is a perfect 4-0 SU. Miami (FL) has gone 11-1 ATS in their last 12 games following a SU win, and are 8-1 ATS in their last 8 games versus Atlantic 10 opponents. Miami (FL) is 11-2 ATS in their last 13 games overall. They are averaging 85.2 PPG, and giving up 65.4 PPG. The Hurricanes will square off against La Salle.

Why bet on the La Salle Explorers

The La Salle Explorers are coming into this one with a 4-4 record, but are on a 3-game losing skid that included a 76-47 loss to a ranked Villanova team. If we are to find anything positive here that might encourage you to throw some money in their direction, it would be that they are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 Tuesday night games. Not exactly a good reason to bet on a team, which might prompt you to look at the UNDER, which has gone 6-1-1 in the last 8 games that the Explorers have played after suffering a loss of 20 points or more. La Salle is averaging 69.9 PPG, and are giving up 71.0 PPG.

Expert Pick and Final Score Prediction

It’s pretty safe to say that this should be a comfortable win for the Hurricanes, which begs the question of margin of victory. These two teams met twice back in 2013, and it was Miami winning both by an average of 15 points. I think they will top that here. Miami (FL) Hurricanes 78 La Salle Explorers 56
