This one screams “dangerous favorite spot” more than people think. Alabama is clearly the better team on paper, but losing Aden Holloway (16.8 PPG, elite efficiency) right before the tournament is not a small thing. That’s a huge piece of their shot creation and spacing gone overnight. Even if they have depth, you don’t just replace that in one game. Hofstra, on the other hand, is exactly the type of team you don’t want to see as a 13-seed: Veter...
This one is really interesting because it’s a classic clash of styles. Miami (OH) is a high-volume three-point team that can absolutely catch fire. They just showed it in the First Four, and they’ve hit 10+ threes in a ton of games this season. That’s exactly the type of profile that creates March chaos. But Tennessee is basically the worst possible matchup for that. They are elite defensively, physical, and disciplined. They run shooters off the...
UCF is a live dog here, and this is closer than the seeding suggests. UCLA has been shaky all season when they’re expected to control games. The defense has had lapses, and offensively they can go cold for long stretches. That’s a dangerous combo in March, especially against a team like UCF that has already proven it can beat high-level opponents like Kansas, BYU and Texas Tech. UCF’s biggest edge is that they’re comfortable in chaos. They can sp...
Tennessee State +24.5 looks like the value side here. Iowa State is clearly the better team and should win comfortably, but this number feels a bit inflated for a team that doesn’t always blow opponents out. The Cyclones rely heavily on defense and turnovers rather than pure scoring runs, which can keep margins in check. Tennessee State brings some resistance with an aggressive defense that generates steals and creates chaos. They also shoot well...
Clemson ML is a strong value play here. This is a much tighter matchup than the spread might suggest. Clemson has the defensive identity and physicality to control tempo, and in tournament settings that becomes a huge edge. They don’t need to outscore teams in a shootout, they just need to make every possession tough. The key is Clemson’s ability to slow the game down and force inefficient offense. If they can take away easy looks and turn this i...
This is a classic 8 vs 9 matchup where the “underdog” might actually be the better team. Saint Louis comes in at 28–5 and plays a much more controlled, efficient style. They don’t beat themselves, and that matters a lot in March. Georgia, on the other hand, can score in bunches but gives up a ton on the defensive end, which makes them volatile. If this turns into a half-court game, Saint Louis has the edge. They’re more disciplined, take better s...
Saint Mary’s is the more complete team here, and the matchup really favors them. They control tempo, play elite halfcourt defense, and dominate the glass. That’s a bad combination for Texas A&M, who rely on pace and scoring runs to win games. If Saint Mary’s slows this down, A&M is forced out of its comfort zone. Rebounding is the biggest edge. Saint Mary’s has a clear size advantage inside, while A&M has struggled on the defensive boards. In a t...
KFUM danket ut FFK i cupen i dag og står dermed med 3 strake seire i cup og serie nå. Synes Fredrikstad virker shaky bakover på banen, stikk motsatt av hva vi har vært vant til å se dem de siste årene. Kan Kåffa-rekka fortsette mot FFK i serien? Norsk Tipping tilbyr pene 3,5 på ja, den slår jeg til på. Andre bookies ligger ned mot 3.
Man Utd kjemper om CL-plass neste sesong, og det kan det godt hende de klarer (nr 3 i skrivende stund). Men bortestatistikken deres er ikke særlig god i inneværende sesong, selv om mye har sett bedre ut etter at Michael Carrick tok over roret. Man Utd har bare vunnet 5 av 15 bortekamper denne sesongen. Hvis denne statistikken holder seg, så er dette et verdispill. 1,70 på Bournemouth +1.
