Why #13 Vermont Catamounts are a good bet +10.5?

The American East Tournament Champions, Vermont went 27-6 during the regular season. They were very good in their final 10 games, only losing to UMBC 56-65 on Feb. 21.

Vermont dominated their other opponents, going 3-1 ATS in their final 4 games. They’ve got an excellent defense that only allows 62.6 points per game. The Catamounts will use that defense to push Florida State into a half court game. If FSU must play in the half court, Vermont can cover.

Why #4 Florida State Seminoles are a good bet -10.5?

Is FSU a secure bet in the March Madness odds?

Florida State might have lost by 10 points to Duke, 63-73, in the ACC Tournament Championship, but in a lot of ways that was a victory. Florida State needed to prove that they could hang with the Blue Devils.

Earlier in the ACC Tournament, the Seminoles beat the Virginia Cavaliers 69-59. They are most definitely a team to deal with in the NCAA Tournament. They should have no trouble dominating Vermont on Thursday.

#Vermont vs Florida State Final March Madness Betting Analysis

Vermont’s a decent basketball team, but Florida State plays at a different speed than Vermont’s seen in this season. The Catamounts aren’t used to a team that can run up and down the court, shoot threes, and dunk the rock the way FSU can.

The Seminoles played Duke tough until the late stages in their loss to the Blue Devils. They should have learned something from that battle. Vermont won’t know what hit them on March 21. Florida State rolls to an easy win and cover.

2019 March Madness Betting Pick: Florida State -10.5
