Throughout the college basketball season, we'll highlight some of the top betting trends against the spread for the biggest games on the schedule. Here are the best trends and angles for tonight's slate.

Kansas State at No. 3 Kansas

Death, taxes, and Kansas beating Kansas State at home. The Jayhawks have won 14 straight at home over the Wildcats, with an 11-3 record ATS during that streak. Kansas is also riding a seven-game under streak, which could stay intact against the Wildcats' mediocre offense.

Trend play: Kansas -14.5, under 126

Miami at No. 8 Duke

Can Duke stop the bleeding? The Blue Devils lost back-to-back games for the first time in almost two years, and they've now dropped three of their last four ATS. Perhaps they can get back on track against Miami, which has lost 12 of its last 15 road games and three straight ATS against Duke.

Trend play: Duke -17.5

No. 13 Butler at No. 9 Villanova

A rough stretch for Butler could get even more difficult at Villanova, as the Wildcats have won 20 straight games at home with a 13-7 ATS record in that span. The Bulldogs are 11-20 ATS after a loss under head coach LaVall Jordan, and they're 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games against ranked opponents.

Trend play: Villanova -4.5

Georgia at No. 15 Kentucky

After a near road scare at Arkansas, Kentucky returns home to a place where the Wildcats have gone under in 14 of their last 20 games. The under is also 7-1 in Georgia's last eight games as a road underdog, and this total looks far too high for two teams that can sometimes struggle to create an efficient shot.

Trend play: Under 145
