Wednesday college basketball betting preview

The No. 1 team in the nation takes the court on Wednesday when No. 1 Arizona hosts Cincinnati in Big 12 action at 9 p.m. ET. Arizona received every first-place vote in the AP and Coaches Poll with its 18-0 record, as one of just three undefeated teams remaining in the nation. The Wildcats are built on a combination of youth and experience, with leading scorer Koa Peat (14.7 ppg) being a freshman who was ranked No. 11 in the Class of 2025 by 247Sports. Brayden Burries, who was ranked No. 9 in the nation, is second at 14.3 ppg, and senior guard Jaden Bradley follows at 14.1 ppg. Arizona is 5-0 in Big 12 play, and Cincinnati is 10-8 overall and 2-3 in the Big 12 this season.

For college basketball betting, Arizona is a 14-point favorite in the latest Wednesday college basketball odds at Fanatics Sportsbook. Other intriguing Wednesday college basketball contests include Notre Dame vs. No. 22 North Carolina (-11.5), Maryland at No. 11 Illinois (-19) and Washington at No. 7 Nebraska (-12). Nebraska is 18-0, putting its undefeated record at risk on Wednesday as well. Claim the latest Fanatics Sportsbook promo code here:

AFC, NFC Championship Game betting

It's never too early to get a jump on your NFL bets, and this weekend marks the final time until September with multiple NFL games to wager on in a single day. The AFC and NFC Conference Championship games take place on Sunday and besides the Los Angeles Rams in action, the teams vying for the 2026 Super Bowl are not the ones many sports bettors would have expected back in September. The Denver Broncos host the New England Patriots at 3 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+, with the Patriots coming off back-to-back four-win seasons. But it took head coach Mike Vrabel just one year to restore Patriots glory, and with Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) out, New England is favored by 5 points in the latest NFL odds at Fanatics Sportsbook.

The Seahawks host the Rams at 6:30 p.m. ET on the NFC side. The Seahawks (14-3) were the surprising No. 1 seed in the NFC, as Sam Darnold continues to silence doubters about his ability as a franchise quarterback. Even after suffering an oblique injury late last week, the 28-year-old completed 12 of 17 passes for 124 yards and a touchdown against the 49ers. Kenneth Walker III starred, though, rushing for 116 yards and three touchdowns, in the win. Walker scored a touchdown in each of Seattle's regular-season games against the Rams, which were won by the home team each time. The Rams went 12-5 this season, and are 2-0 on the road during their playoff run as the No. 5 seed in the NFC. For NFL betting, the Seahawks are favored by 2.5 points at Fanatics. Claim the latest Fanatics Sportsbook promo code here:
