Nate Oats schemes well enough for a long portion of the game, but eventually the damn breaks and Alabama can\u2019t defend well enough on the other end.<\/p>\n<h3>Texas Tech vs Alabama best bet: Texas Tech moneyline (-127)<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.covers.com\/sport\/basketball\/ncaab\/teams\/main\/texas-tech-red-raiders\/odds\">Texas Tech Red Raiders<\/a>\u2019 <strong>attack-and-kick offense ranks No. 1 in the country<\/strong>. Every drive-and-kick is producing an open look, and Tech has the shooters to make the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.covers.com\/sport\/basketball\/ncaab\/teams\/main\/alabama-crimson-tide\/odds\">Alabama Crimson Tide<\/a> pay all afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Alabama wants to play in transition, but doing so without Aden Holloway forces the team to rely even more on transition plays, limiting their halfcourt options. The Red Raiders&#8217; top-tier transition defense, <strong>which allows just 1 point per possession<\/strong>, could be a deciding factor.<\/p>\n<p>Given Alabama&#8217;s shorthanded roster, I don\u2019t think they can score enough in the halfcourt to keep pace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><strong><sup><img data-opt-id=758893364  decoding=\"async\"

It\u2019s no wonder then that he found himself attracted to the sports betting industry. You can find Chris betting every day. Whether it\u2019s shot prop markets in Champions League Soccer qualifiers or NBA Summer League, he has no offseason. As an EV+ bettor, he especially values the insight gained through a data-driven approach.<\/p>\n<p>His work has been featured on various websites such as SBNation, Rivals, Bleacher Report, and 247Sports. He has appeared on radio outlets such as ESPN 680 and The Sharp 600 podcast. You can listen to his own podcast, \u201cWhat High School Did You Go To?\u201d on Apple Podcast and Soundcloud.<\/p>\n<p>Chris has carved out a niche as a college basketball originator with massive profitability success in that sport and stresses one piece of advice to sports bettors: exploit edges as broadly as possible and take advantage of them while they last. His preferred sportsbook is bet365 because of the range of markets you can find.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><button class=\"toggleReadMore\">Read More<\/button><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\"> <\/a><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\/acceptable.html\"> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; Raiders forward Donovan Atwell.
