The college hoops betting action continues Thursday, January 13, 2022, with the Big Ten Conference showdown from Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, so we bring you the best Indiana vs. Iowa betting pick, tips, and odds.&nbsp;



According to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>, the Hawkeyes are 3-point home favorites with a total of 151.0 points. Iowa is winless in three straight meetings with Indiana. Last season, the Hoosiers beat the Hawkeyes 67-65 as 3.5-point home dogs and 81-69 as 10-point road underdogs.



<h2>The Hoosiers aim for another big win  </h2>



The Indiana Hoosiers have gone 5-1 straight up and ATS over their last six games overall. After a 61-58 defeat at Penn State on January 2, the Hoosiers have recorded a couple of nice wins over Ohio State 67-51 as 3.5-point home favorites and Minnesota 73-60 as 11.5-point home favorites.



Sophomore forward Trayce Jackson-Davis leads the way for the Hoosiers with 19.4 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. He went off for 27 points, 12 boards, and five blocks in that thrashing of the Ohio State Buckeyes.



Indiana is now 3-2 in the conference play, sitting at the fifth spot of the Big Ten standings. The Hoosiers are No. 31 in the NCAA NET Rankings and No. 23 in the KenPom rankings. They lean on a stout defense, allowing only 90.4 points per 100 possessions (11th in the country) on a 35.3% shooting from the field (2nd) and 28.9% from beyond the arc (34th).



<h2>The Hawkeyes shoot for their fourth straight home win</h2>



The Iowa Hawkeyes fell to 11-4 straight up and 9-6 ATS following an 87-78 defeat at the Wisconsin Badgers last Thursday. They put an end to a four-game winning streak, tallying their second consecutive ATS loss.



The Hawkeyes are undefeated in their previous three outings at home, going 2-1 ATS in the process. Sophomore forward Keegan Murray has been unstoppable so far this season, tallying 24.7 points and 7.9 rebounds per game and shooting 59.5% from the field. He had 35 points in Iowa’s last home win over Maryland, 80-75.



Iowa is 1-3 in the conference play, laying at the 11th spot of the Big Ten table. The Hawkeyes are scoring 121.2 points per game (3rd in the country) on a 48.0% shooting from the field (33rd) and 35.5% from downtown (103rd). They are No. 27 in the NCAA NET Rankings and No. 25 in the latest KenPom rankings.



Trends:



Indiana:



<ul><li>5-1 ATS in the last six games overall&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>7-1 ATS in the last eight games against Iowa</li></ul>



Iowa:



<ul><li>1-4 ATS in the last five games against the Big Ten</li><li>1-4 ATS in the last five games played in January&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-indiana-vs-iowa-pick">Indiana vs. Iowa Pick</h2>



This is the clash of the two different styles, as Indiana relies on its defense, while Iowa leans on its prolific offense. The Hawkeyes are yielding 102.8 points per 100 possessions (155th in the country). On the other side, the Hoosiers are scoring 109.3 points per 100 possessions (70th).



I’m backing the Hoosiers to establish their style of play and slow down things against the Hawkeyes. Indiana will play tough defense on Keegan Murray, while Iowa could easily struggle to slow down Trayce Jackson-Davis.



Pick: Take Indiana +3.0 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Total:



The over is 10-1-1 in Iowa’s last 12 outings at home and 13-3-1 in the Hawkeyes’ previous 17 showings at any location. Also, seven of the last ten encounters between Iowa and Indiana have gone over the total, so I have to ride these betting trends.



The Hoosiers will certainly look to slow things down, but the Hawkeyes are registering 71.8 possessions per 40 minutes (47th in the nation). Five of Iowa’s last six contests have produced more than 151 points in total.



Pick: Go over 151.0 points at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;

Tulane:



<ul><li>2-4 ATS in the last six games when playing at home against UCF</li></ul>



UCF Knights vs. Tulane Green Wave Pick&nbsp;&nbsp;



Not only that the Knights already defeated the Green wave this season at Yulman Stadium, but they also defeated them in eight of the previous nine H2H duels. UCF is on a five-game winning streak against Tulane, and even though this game is of enormous significance for both sides, I am going with the visitors once again. UCF is very dangerous by using both pass and run offenses excellently, and although Tulane has a stronger defense, that is not going to help them here. After all, their D that is allowing 19.8 points per game this season and it’s 18th in the country, surrendered 38 points to the Knights a few weeks ago.



Pick: Take the Knights at +5.5 (-133)



The Total



I mentioned that UCF is dangerous from both the ground and air, but considering that Tulane is defending the air very well by allowing 182.2 yards per game to the opposing receivers, I expect the visitors to use their run offense a lot. The Knights have the sixth-best run offense in the country that is averaging 243.7 yards per contest, while the Green Wave is allowing 154.6 ypg on the ground. UCF is also good at defending the air, and we will likely have plenty of rushing attempts from each team here. Under is 7-3 in the Knights’ last ten games following a straight-up win, while Under is 4-1 in UCF’s previous five games after scoring more than 40 points in their last game.



Pick: Go Under 58.5 points (-133)

Week 10 of the 2021 NFL season wraps up with Monday Night Football from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, so here’s the best Los Angeles Rams vs. San Francisco betting pick along with the latest odds update for this NFC West showdown.



The Rams are listed as 4-point road favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>, while the 49ers are +171 moneyline underdogs with a total of 49.0 points. Last year, the Niners swept the Rams and covered on both occasions.&nbsp;&nbsp;



<h2>The Rams stopped their winning streak in Week 9 </h2>



The Los Angeles Rams dropped to 7-2 SU and 4-5 ATS on the season following an upsetting 28-16 defeat to the Tennessee Titans this past Sunday. They put an end to a four-game winning streak thanks to a horrible second-quarter performance by Matthew Stafford and the Rams’ offensive line.



Stafford threw a couple of interceptions and allowed the Titans to score a pair of easy touchdowns, including Kevin Byard’s pick-six. The Rams couldn’t recover from a shocking 21-3 deficit at halftime, while Stafford finished 31-of-48 for 294 yards, a TD, and two interceptions.



Los Angeles failed to surpass a 20-point mark for the first time since Week 4 and a 37-20 defeat to the Arizona Cardinals. The Rams are now tallying 29.0 points per game (5th in the NFL) while surrendering 21.8 in a return (tied-10th).



<h2>The Niners failed to cope with a short-handed Cardinals        </h2>



The San Francisco 49ers were listed as firm 5.5-point home favorites to beat Arizona in Week 9, but they completely disappointed and fell to 3-5 SU and 2-6 ATS on the season. The Niners suffered a heavy 31-17 defeat, allowing Colt McCoy to dominate the game and complete 22 of his 26 passing attempts for 249 yards and a TD.



The 49ers couldn’t stop James Conner either, so Arizona finished with 437 total yards, 100 more than San Francisco. Jimmy Garoppolo went 28-of-40 for 326 yards, a couple of touchdowns, and an interception, while George Kittle had six catches for 101 yards and a TD.



Kittle and Brandon Aiyuk lost a fumble each, and the Niners will have to take care of the ball if they want to stay alive in the playoff chase. San Francisco is scoring 23.1 points per game (18th in the NFL) on 365.6 total yards (13th) while yielding 25.3 points in a return (25th) on 338.1 total yards (8th).



Trends:



LA Rams:



<ul><li>10-5 ATS in the last 15 games against the NFC&nbsp;</li></ul>



San Francisco:



<ul><li>1-5 ATS in the last six games overall</li><li>1-4 ATS in the last five games against the NFC</li><li>2-10 ATS in the last 12 games at home&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-los-angeles-rams-vs-san-francisco-49ers-pick">Los Angeles Rams vs. San Francisco 49ers Pick</h2>



The 49ers are in a must-win situation, and I’m expecting them to play much better than they did last week against Arizona. However, the Rams will be fired up to bounce back from that awful display against Tennessee, and Los Angeles certainly possesses more firepower on both sides of the ball than San Francisco.



The Rams lead the NFL in the percentage of drives ending in a score (49.5%), while the Niners are 20th in the league (37.6%). San Francisco has dominated the Rams over the last few years, going 8-3 SU and ATS in their previous 11 H2H duels, but the 49ers are only 1-11 SU and 2-10 ATS in their last 12 outings at home.



Pick: Take Los Angeles Rams -4.0 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Total:



Three of the last four meetings between the Rams and 49ers went in the under, but I’m not expecting a low-scoring affair this Sunday. San Francisco has allowed 22 or more points in each but one of its last six showings, while I’ve already mentioned the Rams’ recent scorelines.



The over is 7-3-1 in the Rams’ previous 11 outings at any location, and it is 6-3 in the 49ers’ last nine games overall.



Pick: Go over 49.0 points at -110
