2025 College basketball betting strategy: Target these mid-major teams, says proven expert

SportsLine handicapper Thomas Casale, who is 11-2 (+897) in his last 13 college basketball money line plays, shares his insight on how to approach CBB betting

What if I told you mid-major conference tournaments will be starting in less than a month? It doesn't seem real, but the college basketball season is flying by and March Madness will be here before we know it. 

Mid-major conferences are typically a bit different than power leagues like the SEC and Big 12. Because 99% of those conferences will send just one school to the NCAA Tournament, it's important to identify teams that are peaking at the right time.

We talk about the transfer portal a lot when it impacts schools like Duke and Kentucky. However, there is another end to the spectrum. Some of these smaller schools are losing four or five starters to the portal, so it takes a couple of months for them to really get going. 

I always believed that November results mean very little in the big picture but in 2025, that is truer than ever, especially with mid-major teams. I have identified three mid-major teams I believe are peaking at the right time and should be profitable to bettors for the rest of the season. 

A frequent guest on national radio and TV shows to discuss college sports, Casale has been betting -- and winning -- for more than 30 years. 

He's done well in college basketball, going 341-208 (62.1%) over the last three campaigns. He joined SportsLine in 2024 and promptly went 28-14-1 (67%) in CBB, returning $1,215 to $100 players. This year, he's 11-2 (+897) in his last 13 CBB money line picks. Anybody who's followed his advice is way up!

Now, he's turned his attention to the this season's college basketball futures and is revealing his top mid-major teams to monitor. You ABSOLUTELY need to check out his betting strategy before locking in any college basketball picks.
