The excitement is palpable as we get ready for the first round of the women’s NCAA tournament, but which games should you bet on? And which should you avoid?
Our experts Charlie Creme, Tyler Fulghum and Mackenzie Kraemer explain which games they are keying in on for Friday and Saturday.
What’s your favorite pick against the spread?
LSU (-28.5) vs Rice. The Tigers tend to bury lesser opponents and the Owls certainly qualify. They finished in the middle of the pack of mediocre-at-best AAC. — Creme
Tennessee -7.5 vs. Green Bay. The Lady Vols are just 4-4 in their past 8 games played, but those losses have come against South Carolina (three times) and LSU. This number would likely be higher if their end-of-season schedule wasn’t so difficult. — Fulghum
North Carolina (+4.5) vs Michigan State. ESPN Analytics has this spread much closer. The Tar Heels are the more balanced and more experienced team and should keep this game tight or get the upset win. — Kraemer
What’s your ‘favorite favorite’ that’s under -200 moneyline?
