NCAA Betting
Basketball Betting
These dogs may be worth a wagerIt's a given that there will be some big upsets in the first round of the NCAA tournament. However, picking which teams will pull off a straight up (SU) is extremely difficult. Picking heavy underdogs to cover, on the other hand, is bound to be more profitable, especially if you look at the trends. In the Atlanta Region, a team bettors will want to take a look at is Iona. The Gaels are 23-7 SU this season and easily won the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference tournament last week. Iona has one of the best betting records in Division I having gone 17-9-2 against the spread (ATS). That's a winning percentage of 61 percent. One of the Gaels' biggest ATS wins of the season came against Kentucky in December. They lost 73-67 SU but beat the spread as 9.5-point road dogs. The Gaels are seeded No. 13 and will face No. 4 LSU in the first round of the tournament on Thursday at Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville (7:10 p.m. ET). LSU is coming off an 81-65 thrashing to Florida in the SEC tournament as 1-point dogs. The Tigers opened as a 7-point favorite versus Iona. They might have been a bigger favorite if freshman Tyrus Thomas was not been recovering from an injury. Thomas has missed the past four games due to a high ankle sprain. The SEC Freshman of the Year averaged 12.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and league-leading three blocks per game. Despite the injury, Thomas is expected to play against the Gaels. Over in the Oakland Region, bettors should consider handicapping Kent St. The Golden Flashes are 25-8 SU this season and won the Mid-American Conference tournament last week. Against the number, the Flashes are an amazing 19-9-1 this season. They are seventh overall in the Division I with a winning percentage of 66 percent. The No. 12 Flashes will face No. 5 Pittsburgh on Friday at the Palace of Auburn Hills, Auburn Hills (7:10 p.m. ET). The Panthers, who lost to Syracuse in the Big East championship game, opened as a 6-point chalk. In the Minneapolis Region, South Alabama is worth watching. The Jaguars are 24-6 SU and are winners of the Sun Belt Conference tournament. This season the Jags are 17-8 ATS. They are seeded No. 14 and will tip off with No. 3 Florida on Thursday in Jacksonville (2:25 p.m. ET). The SEC champion Gators opened as 9-point favorites. And finally, in the Washington Region, the team that many don't believe should be in the tournament, Air Force, deserves a look. The Falcons were 24-6 SU on the season but lost to Wyoming in the Mountain West Conference tournament last week. Nonetheless, they have been solid pick against the number having gone 13-8-1 ATS. No. 13 Air Force will face No. 4 Illinois on Thursday at Cox Arena in San Diego (7:25 p.m. ET). The Illini opened as 9-point favorites.
