Alabama Crimson Tide – 7.5 and I know that is a lot of points, but every time and I mean every time I have bet against Alabama this year I have lost. SDSU is expected to give Bama some trouble, according to experts on ESPN, so you may get a live bet at less than -7.5 or -340 money line. The other “popular play” is Alabama and Creighton money line parlay at -187.
Miami Florida +7½ – I’ll take the points here – Miami is the ACC’s best team and Houston pushes to make it a Final Four in Houston. Sasser and Shead are back from injury for the Cougars. I think this game or the Xavier game is an upset so maybe +275 here and +165 Xavier will get one ahead if they go 1-1.
Princeton +10 – Give me the points and the smart guys here.
Xavier +4½ – Xavier is an easy team to overlook but they are the 3 seed and Texas is yet to see any set back from the mid season change in head coach. Texas taking in 71% of the cash here to cover the -4.5 and 87 % on the money line and is as well looking to get to a home state Final Four.
