This model, which simulates every game 10,000 times, has raked in the winnings for those following its picks. Over the past two years, the SportsLine Projection Model has returned over $4,000 to $100 players on its top-rated college basketball picks. It also entered the postseason on a strong 11-5 run on all top-rated college basketball selections. Anyone who has followed it is way up. 

Now the model has dialed in on Belmont vs. Temple. We can tell you it is leaning over, and it has a very strong against-the-spread pick that cashes in well over 60 percent of simulations. That one is only available at SportsLine.

The model is well aware that Belmont, which dropped the OVC Tournament championship game to Murray State, has won 17 of its last 19 overall. The Nashville school is 0-7 in NCAA Tournament play and is making its first appearance since 2015 when the Bruins lost to No. 6 Virginia, 79-67.

The Bruins are led by senior guard Dylan Windler (21.4 ppg), who is 10th in rebounding (10.7 per game) in Division I. Windler has had 20 games of at least 20 points, including 32 vs. Austin Peay in the OVC Tournament semifinals.

But just because the Bruins have a proven playmaker does not guarantee they'll cover the Belmont vs. Temple spread.

The Owls, in their 123rd year of competition, have had five straight seasons with a non-losing record. This is the 33rd time they've reached the NCAA Tournament and first since 2016.

Temple is led by senior guard Shizz Alston Jr. (19.7 points per game), who is an AAC first-team all-conference selection. He has scored at least 20 points the last eight games and in 17 of 31 overall.
