Florida State Seminoles (+7) vs Gonzaga Bulldogs

This will be the first time in the tournament that the Seminoles will find themselves in as the underdog, as they were the favorites in their opening 2 games, going 1-1 ATS in those outings. They had a bit of a nervy start in the opener, but went on to win, just failing to cover. In the regular season, Florida State did not find themselves in the underdog role too often, going 4-3 ATS in those games.

This is actually a much more manageable point spread for the Gonzaga, who have all to often found themselves as double-digit favorites. That was where they were in the opening rounds, going 1-1 ATS. I think Florida State keep this one close and cover.

Oregon Ducks (+8 ½) vs Virginia Cavaliers

That old nugget about a team heading into the playoffs on a hot streak and using that form to go deep is holding true with the Oregon Ducks. The Ducks are on fire right now, winning their last 10 games and covering the spread in all 10 games. They have also won those games by an average of just shy of 18 PPG. They stunned the Wisconsin Badgers in the opening round as an underdog, albeit a small one, before destroying UC Irvine in round 2.

Oregon can upset Virginia at the 2019 March Madness Sweet 16.

The Virginia Cavaliers are on a solid run of their own, though, and while they got off to a slow start in Round 1, they soon stepped it up a gear and went on to win. While I think Virginia win and move on here, I think the Ducks can keep it interesting.

Auburn Tigers (+5) vs North Carolina Tar Heels

After very nearly falling to New Mexico State in the opening round, the Auburn Tigers found their feet and scored a very big win over Kentucky in the last round. With that win, the Tigers also covered the spread, the 7th time they have now done so in the last 8 games.

During that stretch, they were in as the underdog twice, covering in both of those games. Overall this season, the Tigers went 3-2 ATS as an underdog. The UNC Tar Heels are on a similar run of form, covering the spread in 5 of their last 6. The only game they missed was in the opening round against Iona, where they were huge favorites. I like UNC to win, but I think the Tigers do enough to cover.
