With Saturday’s pair of matchups set and just over 48 hours away from getting started, now is a perfect time for a pair of total picks for all of you Over/Under 2018 March Madness Elite 8 betting enthusiasts. Let’s get started with Saturday’s opening matchup between two national championship hopefuls that no one had made it this far, so be sure to check the NCAAB odds right before submitting your betting ticket.
The Wolverines put 61 points on the board against Montana in their opener (61-47) and then squeaked past Houston by putting 64 points on the board in a one-point win. The Wolverines then exploded on Texas A&M in their stunning 99-72 Sweet 16 win on Thursday night.
Florida State has played Under the total in all three of their NCAA Tournament games while Michigan went over the total for the first time this March Madness against Texas A&M. The Under is 7-1 in the Seminoles last 8 non-conference games, 5-1 in their last 6 neutral site games and 9-3 in their last 12 NCAA Tournament games overall. The Under is also 4-0-1 in Michigan’s last 5 games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game, but the Over is 6-2-2 in the Wolverines’ last 10 games overall.

Expert Elite 8 Betting Pick
While the 127-point total looks low, I’m expecting this matchup to be a knock-down, drag-out brawl that plays just Under the total, although I will admit, it’s going to be very close! Final Pick: Under 127 Total PointsNo. 9 Florida State Seminoles vs. No. 3 Michigan Wolverines
