Best College Basketball Odds for Every Game Today (Odds, Spreads and Totals for Monday, November 14)

We are one week into the college basketball season and we have already seen a handful of thrilling games with a few upsets as well.

Nine top 25 teams are in action on Monday, all laying double digits, as each team tries to find their footing this season. However, there are a handful of unranked matchups that have some betting value on the board.

Butler is in the first year of the Thad Matta era and travels to Happy Valley to face Penn State, who has throttled a pair of mid majors in their opening two games. Despite not being as high of a profile matchup, this game has betting value, which we'll get to below with a full game preview.

Butler vs. Penn State Prediction and Odds

Penn State rolled over the likes of Winthrop and Loyola (Maryland), but should see more resistance against a rejuvenated Butler squad with Matta at the helm. The team has veteran guard Chuck Harris running the offense and also has transfer big man Manny Bates, who should have a massive size advantage against an undersized Penn State frontcourt.

The NC State transfer stands 6'11" and should shut down the interior against a methodical Nittany Lions offense. Penn State plays at one of the slowest tempos in the country, last year they checked in at a bottom 10 rate under first year head coach Micah Sthrewsberry. With limited possessions and a low turnover rate last season, I expect that to show up in the game script against a legitimate club in Butler.

Penn State's pack line defense won't turn the likes of Harris and the Bulldogs over and the tempo will be slow, making it difficult for the team to win with margin and cover this spread.
