Sunday is reserved for the NFL Divisional Round, but that's later on. Some of the best college basketball picks, however, tip earlier.

Our advanced PRO NCAAB Projections submit lines every day and weigh them against what's offered in betting markets. Then, we use a basic grading system — A, B, C — to determine the strength of the picks.

Today, our Michigan State vs. Maryland spread is so off from betting odds, projections tagged it with an A+ edge. The Spartans are listed small road favorites in Sunday's Big Ten clash.

However, there's a large discrepancy between the consensus Spartans vs. Terrapins line, and the fair spread we made.
