And then there were two. The top-rated team in the nation has been slayed (or slayed themselves, more accurately), leaving us #2 vs #3 tomorrow night for all the marbles. For my best bet for Monday, April 7th: College Basketball Predictions, we’re headed back to the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas one last time. Let’s go!
Best Bet For Monday (April 7th): College Basketball Predictions
Florida Gators vs Houston Cougars
Start Time: 8:50 PM EST
Thirty years ago Andre 3000 of Outkast stated that “The South got something to say!”, and that is definitely the case for this year’s NCAA Tournament. We’re left with the Florida Gators battling the Houston Cougars for the right to not just be called the kings of the South, but the kings of all of college basketball.
Unlike the women’s national championship game, I anticipate this one to be much closer. The Gators have the edge on the offensive end; the Cougars have the tighter defense. Houston has played a slightly tougher schedule and the advanced stats like them a tad bit better than Florida.
So do the Cougars win their first national championship, or do the Gators secure their third? After crunching my numbers, I have this game lined up as Houston -1, so the Cougars plus the points is my best bet for Monday.
Best Bet: Houston +1.5 (-115)
Best Bet Overall Record: 200-179 (53%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): -($301.78)
Return on Investment: -1%
