Why #6 Maryland Terrapins are a good bet +2.5?

Maryland didn’t cover in their 79-77 win over Belmont, but they beat the Bruins. Although it wasn’t easy, the Terrapins showed a lot of grit, coming back down from 9 points and then closing out the Bruins, a hot pick to upset Maryland on Thursday.

With their first win behind them, the Terrapins should be more comfortable on Saturday. They’ll play LSU tough and deserve a long look as a possible upset winner on the moneyline.

Why #3 LSU Tigers are a good bet -2.5?

Is LSU a safe bet in the second round of March Madness?

LSU faced a strong Yale team in round one. The Tigers played hard and squeezed out the win even though their coach has been suspended due to the scandal currently hitting many college basketball programs.

The Tigers have a huge advantage in this game with Tremont Waters. LSU’s point-guard should lead the Tigers to a victory and cover over the Terrapins.

Maryland vs LSU Tigers Final March Madness Betting Analysis

Maryland had to come back down close to 10 points while the Tigers had a massive 14 point lead evaporate in their 79-74 win over Yale. That should give the Terrapins a slight edge.

What gives LSU the edge is their ability to handle Maryland’s inside game. Not only that, the Tigers are in good hands with point-guard Tremont Waters. Waters is one of those unquestioned leaders in college hoops that can get the bucket when needed but would much prefer to dish the rock. With Waters at point, LSU can go far in this tournament. They’ll win and cover.

March Madness Betting Pick: LSU -2
