Top Public Bets In NHL & College Basketball For Tuesday, Feb. 21

Today's Public Bets In NHL & College Basketball

Fading the public last week netted us a decent profit, but we hope for an even bigger week this week. We all know the public can be death for a bet when they come in on a certain side, and this article will tell you which sides the public has taken their biggest stake in tonight. The NBA is on the All-Star break, so we don't have a huge slate to pick from across sports, but we have enough to work with.

Let's take a look at the public's favorite bets so far today. BetQL can easily help you find these public bets yourself without waiting for an article, and therefore possibly losing a valuable number.

College Basketball Public Bet: Air Force -2.5 vs. Fresno State

The public is all over our armed forces tonight, and by that, I mean Air Force as it takes on the Fresno State Bulldogs. The Bulldogs have been terrible this season, with a record of 9-17, so it is very easy to see why the public would be all over the 14-14 Falcons at home.

Fresno State has lost three straight games, but it has been able to cover a few of them. Air Force has won just two of its last five games. This spread is a little weird to me, as a 9-17 team on the road is just a small underdog to a team that doesn't have a losing record. Fading the public on Air Force tonight could be a profitable move.

College Basketball Public Bet: Utah State -6 at Wyoming

We actually have a pretty decent college basketball slate today on a Tuesday, but the public has decided to go with another game that is outside the ranked matches tonight. A whopping 84% of the tickets in this game are on the Utah State Aggies, which is also another unsurprising pick by the public. A 21-7 Aggies team is almost guaranteed to get the public's attention against a terrible 8-18 team, no matter the point spread.

Wyoming is actually a team that I have bet on quite a lot this season, but the Cowboys keep disappointing me. They get money coming into them almost every game, yet they keep letting sharps down. If you want to go against them tonight and side with the public, I wouldn't blame you, but I won't be joining you.

NHL Public Bet: Golden Knights ML at Blackhawks

Does this mean that my Blackhawks actually have a chance? Probably not, but going against the public on an absolutely massive ML favorite is always something I love to do. Now, the Golden Knights are the far better team here and it isn't really even close, but there is simply no possible way anyone should ever be laying -300 on a hockey game.

As of this writing, a massive 85% of all the moneyline bets are on the Golden Knights to win. They are scoring 3.23 goals per game and allowing 2.79. They are outshooting their opponents 32.6 to 30.0, and they are also red hot right now having won five straight games following a tough stretch. Chicago is allowing a whopping 3.62 goals per game and scoring just 2.47 of their own. In terms of shots, opponents have absolutely destroyed the Blackhawks, 33.6 to 26.8.

Would I take the Blackhawks here after they somehow managed to beat the Maple Leafs in their last game? No. Would I lay -300 odds in a hockey team to win? Zero chance. If I bet this game, I'd take Las Vegas -1.5 for better value.
