The Road To Phoenix

We’ve got four games left to go from this weekend of March Madness and all roads lead to the Final Four in Phoenix!

If you didn’t watch the games the last two nights, that ain’t my fault. We’re onto the Elite 8 stage so we’re putting the past behind us and looking ahead to some awesome matchups today and tomorrow.

Elite 8 Matchups

Saturday

3 Illinois vs 1 Connecticut, 6:09 pm ET on TBS

💰️ Connecticut is favored by 8.5 points, and the O/U is 154.5. I know exactly what the play is here because we ain’t no dummy. Take UConn and the over and become richer on a Saturday!

6 Clemson vs 4 Alabama, 8:49 pm ET on TBS

💰️ Bama is favored by 3.5 points in this matchup of underdogs and the points total is 163.5. I’ve been burned too many times by betting on Bama games so let’s take the UConn winnings and lose them on this game. Bama and the over. Easy money! #stonks

Sunday

2 Tennessee vs 1 Purdue, 2:20 pm ET on CBS

💰️ Purdue is favored by 3.5 points and the total is 147.5. We’ve got a battle between the high seeds and a repeat of a matchup that took place in November at the Maui Invitational where Purdue won 71-67. Can Tennessee slow down Zach Edey? That is unlikely, but I think the Vols will keep it close. I’ll take Tennessee and I’m staying away from the points total.

11 NC State vs 4 Duke, 5:05 pm ET on CBS

💰️Duke is favored by 6.5 in this matchup of two ACC teams getting hot at the same. If you’re a UNC fan you hate this matchup but you love the fact that one of these teams ain’t making it to the final four either! I don’t think Duke has what it takes to stop DJ Burns, not by 6.5 points at least. I’m taking the Wolfpack and leaving the points total alone!

Enjoy the action this weekend. We’re going to be back Monday or Tuesday to recap it all.
