There are many great sports betting picks for tonight as ESPN has Purdue vs. Indiana, Cincinnati vs. Notre Dame, ESPN2 checks in with Georgia Tech vs. Duke and Tennessee vs. LSU.
Super sportsbook Bodog takes a betting glance at a few of them. They start out with the Blue Devils and Yellow Jackets.
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets look for a rare road victory against the Duke Blue Devils tonight in an ACC matchup.
According to college basketball betting odds, the Blue Devils are listed as 12.5-point favorites.
Georgia Tech snapped a four-game losing streak to Duke with a 71-67 home victory Jan. 9. It was the Yellow Jackets' third victory in 27 games against the Blue Devils since the start of the 1996-97 season.
The Yellow Jackets haven't swept a regular-season series with Duke since 1995-96, and are 5-29 all-time at Cameron Indoor, where they've lost three in a row following a 76-68 win March 3, 2004.
While Duke should be well-rested after losing 89-77 at Georgetown on Saturday, it's facing a Georgia Tech squad that's one of the nation's best by keeping opponents to 36.6 percent shooting.
Duke, though, is shooting 50.3 percent while averaging 89.9 points in 12 home games this season.

Now to the Tar Heels vs. Hokies. he "glass half empty" story of this college basketball season has to be defending NCAA champ North Carolina, as the Heels enter Thursday's game at Virginia Tech having lost four of five games and are third-from-last in the ACC. UNC (13-8, 7-12 ATS) must start to make a run to have any shot at an at-large NCAA tourney berth, but it is a 3.5-point dog tonight on Bodog's college basketball odds.
The Tar Heels were just handed their worst home loss since 2003 last time out by an unranked Virginia team. "How can you go any lower?" coach Roy Williams asked afterward. UNC finishes with six of its final 10 ACC games on the road, and it has just one road win this season (2-2 ATS). The Heels did beat Virginia Tech for one of its two conference wins, 78-64, in their ACC opener on Jan. 10. Carolina trailed by four at the half but shot better than 65 percent in the second half. The key that day was point guard Larry Drew II, who didn't miss a shot all day and finished with 14 points, eight assists and two turnovers. When he struggles, the Heels tend to lose.
Virginia Tech (16-4, 7-7 ATS) is in obviously better shape than UNC but is squarely on the NCAA Tournament bubble with no quality wins. The Hokies are 10-0 at home this season (2-3 ATS), but none of those victories came against an expected NCAA Tournament team. Guard Malcolm Delaney leads the team in scoring and was a one-man show in the first meeting with Carolina, scoring 26 points to go with five rebounds and six assists. Tech had 12 made free throws in that game, with Delaney accounting for all of them.
When making your college basketball bet on this one at Bodog, know that Carolina has won five straight in this series and is 18-5 all-time in Blacksburg. Virginia Tech's frontline starters had only 13 points in the first meeting, and the big Heels should dominate up front again tonight as their frontcourt starting trio combined for 46 points back on Jan. 10.

Now Bodog looks at Portland vs. Gonzaga.
Coming off their first defeat in 28 WCC games, the Gonzaga Bulldogs look to avoid their first consecutive league losses in nearly a decade when they host the Portland Pilots tonight.
College basketball betting odds have the Zags listed as 8.5-point favorites.
Saturday night's loss to San Francisco was the fifth league game Gonzaga has been involved in that was decided by seven points or fewer. Last season, just three of its 14 contests were that close.
Both of Portland's losses were close games and came against the league's top two teams, the most recent a 77-72 defeat at Saint Mary's on Jan. 16.
The Pilots have blown out four opponents since that loss, winning by an average of 23.5 points and most recently beating the two teams that gave Gonzaga trouble.
Jared Stohl hit six 3s against the Bulldogs last month, while forward Robin Smeulders had a game-high 24 points.
