First Round March Madness Picks - Thursday

Sports Betting at the Sportsbook

March Madness is finally here, and if you are one of the one’s lucky enough to get the next two days off work, you’ll be rewarded with all of the basketball you can handle today and tomorrow!  The first round of the tournament can be a little tricky.  All of the really good teams are playing teams that they completely out-match, so the lines on them are all double digits, getting as high as 32 point favorites like UCLA is against Mississippi Valley State.  Knowing that, we are going to take a look at some of the match ups that are a little bit closer and give your our picks.

Georgia +8.5 vs. Xavier
Georgia is coming off of an emotional run to get here and they will play to their full potential to prove they deserved the trip.

George Mason +6.5vs. Notre Dame
I’m not convinced Notre Dame can win this game.  If they do it should be a tight one.

BYU +1.5 vs. Texas A&M
This is purely a fade-the-public type of play.  A&M seems like an easy winner and I know from experience that there’s no such thing.

Pitt -8.5 vs. Oral Roberts
Pitt is one of my sleepers to make the Elite 8.  They should roll against Oral Roberts.

Baylor +2.5 vs. Purdue
Baylor is a team that could surprise a lot of opponents.

Kentucky +6 vs. Marquette
This game is a toss-up in my opinion, the six points are a gift.

Good luck with your bets and brackets today!
