This is one of the most sought-after games in the industry and Robert has gone 6-1 with this GOTY play over the last seven tournaments. Robert is also having a profitable NHL season and is on a +2,800 NBA run as well. Add in a 69-41, +10,680 daily prop run and Robert is rolling.

NCAA Tournament College Basketball Prediction From Jason Sharpe:

Take #709 South Florida (+5) over Louisville (1:30 p.m., Thursday, March 19)

South Florida has had a ton of money bet on them so far in this 1st round game. The Bulls come into this game a sleeper team in this tournament as they have won 11 straight games and are 9-2 against the spread during that time. They face off here against a Louisville program with a big reputation but keep in mind the Cardinals haven't won an NCAA tournament game in 9 years. Play South Florida plus the points.

NCAA Tournament College Basketball Prediction From Raphael Esparza:

Take 'Over' 135.5 Siena vs. Duke (2:50 p.m., Thursday, March 19)

The #1 Seed in the East Bracket the Duke Blue Devils will face the Siena Saints in a matchup at Greenville, South Carolina, and I see points being scored in this game. The Blue Devils are coming off a big win over Virginia 74-0 and that went 'Over' and I see garbage time pushing this total 'Over'. The Blue Devils last 7 games all of them they scored over 73 points or more and if you remember that game where they blew out Notre Dame 100-56 that is what I see happening Thursday late afternoon.

NCAA Tournament College Basketball Prediction From Robert Ferringo:

Take #714 Michigan (-31) over Howard (7 p.m., Thursday, March 19)

I am now 133-89 (60%) with my newsletter plays over the last 221 weeks. I don’t think Michigan is going to hold back in this one. I also like them against the first half line as well. Howard played Duke earlier in the season, losing by 37. They were down 34 points at halftime before Duke eased off the gas. Michigan isn’t going to ease off. This team beat Gonzaga and San Diego State by 40. They beat Auburn, UCLA and USC by 30. Michigan beat a better mid-major team, McNeese State (No. 12 seed), 112-71 back in December. Michigan is going to kill this team. Howard doesn’t have a single regular taller than 6-7. They only have two guys on the roster taller than 6-6. The Bison literally aren’t big enough to play with Michigan. This one should be men against boys and the Wolverines will win by 40+.

NBA Prediction From Griffin Murphy:

Take Detroit over Washington (7 p.m., Thursday, March 19)

With a record of 47-18, Detroit is in first place in the Eastern Conference. Even after an amazing season, the public still doesn't like this team. This club has won two games in a row against Brooklyn and Philadelphia. Detroit has a strong 22-10 record on the road, while Washington has a weak 11-22 record at home. Washington has lost ten games in a row and is falling apart. We think Detroit will keep making their point to the NBA and the public by running up the score on them. We agree with the public on this one and think we can go through the trap with them. Let's put the points here with Detroit ATS over Washington.

NHL Prediction From Nick Menken:

Take Minnesota (-1.5) over Chicago (7:30 p.m., Thursday, March 19)

On Thursday we get a Central Division matchup between the Minnesota Wild and the Chicago Blackhawks. This will be the second meeting between these teams in just a couple of days. They first face off in Chicago on Tuesday, then immediately turn around and play again Thursday, this time in Minnesota. That quick rematch tends to favor the team going back to its building, and that’s where the Wild usually play their best hockey. Minnesota has been very strong on home ice this season, sitting at 19–8 at home, and they’re a much more confident team when they’re playing in front of their crowd. Seeing the same opponent again so quickly also gives them a chance to make adjustments from the first game. Chicago, meanwhile, has struggled for consistency this season and hasn’t been much better on the road with a 12–15 record away from home. The Blackhawks can compete on certain nights, but depth and defensive consistency have been issues. There’s also a chance Chicago rotates goaltenders in this back-to-back setup, especially if Spencer Knight gets the start earlier in the week. With the stronger roster and the home-ice advantage in the rematch, this sets up well for Minnesota. Take the Wild on the puckline at home over Chicago.

NCAA Tournament College Basketball Prediction From Strike Point Sports:

Take #742 Akron (+7.5) over Texas Tech (12:40 p.m., Friday, March 20)

This is the third year in a row that Akron will be in the NCAA tournament. They were blown out each of the last two years. I think they have a great chance to get their first NCAA tournament win ever. Texas Tech lost star player J.T. Toppin to a knee injury in February. Now their other star player point guard Christian Anderson is also nursing a calf injury. Texas Tech has lost three straight games and they are just 6-6 in their last 12 games. In 2023 the No. 12 seeds swept all four games going 4-0 SU and ATS in the first round. No. 1 seeds are 30-18 ATS in their first round games since 2013. This seeding matchup has produced the most first round upsets over the last 30 years and I think Akron will get another one.

NCAA Tournament College Basketball Prediction From Scott Rickenbach:

Take #766 St John's (-10.5) vs Northern Iowa (7 p.m., Friday, March 20)

Oftentimes I like to look for dogs in these 12 versus 5 matchups in the tourney each year but that is certainly not the case with this particular match-up. The Red Storm have looked so strong that this one looks like it has blowout written all over it. I just don't see an outclassed Northern Iowa as being able to score enough to keep up here. St John's has scored 78 ppg during their current 6-game winning streak and, of course, faced much tougher teams than Northern Iowa has during their current 5-game run. Also, prior to scoring 84 points in the MVC Championship, the Panthers had averaged 69 ppg over their 6 prior games. Remember that the Red Storm played 6 games versus ranked teams this season while the Panthers had 0 games against ranked teams. That difference in strength of schedule shows up big in this one. Lay the points with St John's here. Take St. John’s -10.5. If you don’t have an account at Doc’s Sports sign up now and get $60 in premium member picks click here.

Offer expires at 6 p.m., Friday, March 20.

NCAA Tournament College Basketball Prediction From Doc's Sports:

Take #759 Queens (+25.5) over Purdue (7:35 p.m., Friday, March 20)

Purdue showed up in Chicago for the Big 10 Tournament but they have not played well during the second half of the season. We will grab the points with the Royals on Friday night in St. Louis, MO. Purdue is nowhere near as strong on defense this year and many of their stars are not shooting it well. They got a cakewalk to the Big 10 Finals by getting to play a depleted UCLA team on Saturday. They are overseeded and are not a strong two seed. The Royals can score points and should get hot at some point in this game to cover this spread. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports Weekend Card featuring top plays in basketball, hockey, and other sports. Sign-up now and let 54 years of handicapping experience work for you.
