Our expert betting models reveal much different point spreads for this weekend’s Final Four. It’s a perfect time to lock in some solid bets using our PRO resources.
Saturday brings two exciting matchups: Florida vs. Auburn and Duke vs. Houston. Our college basketball odds and predictions are based on both solid historical data and in-house projections to help beat the market.
One of our tested PRO Systems—especially good during March Madness—has identified a spread pick cashing at a solid 57%, thanks to a tempo system that’ll play out over the weekend.
Plus, we’ve identified at least one wrong-team-favored scenario according to our projections, so keep an eye out for those sweet payout opportunities.
Let’s dive into more specific details for both of Saturday’s picks below.
Final Four Spread Picks
Florida vs. Auburn Final Four Prediction
First up is Florida vs. Auburn in an SEC tilt.
Florida is currently a -2.5 favorite after winning their last meeting 90-81, and the preferred net-cutter from our experts before the tourney.
But here’s where it gets interesting: Our projections make Auburn as the favorite with a line of -1.1. That’s right, the line suggests Florida is favored, but PRO systems see Auburn as the better pick to make for Saturday’s Final Four spread.
PRO Pick: Auburn
Duke vs. Houston Final Four Prediction
Moving to Duke vs. Houston, it’s all about the Houston Cougars.
For starters, the “Defensive Teams” PRO System gives us great insight here. It turns out teams with hot defenses are great bets in the NCAA Tournament. Teams that give up less than 60 points cover the spread 57% of the time in the next game if they’re underdogs.
With Houston getting +5.5 against Duke off a 69-50 win in the Elite Eight — and our projections actually favoring Houston by 0.4 — it might be wise to roll with Cougars in a variety of ways Saturday.
