Best NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 Same Game Parlay Picks
(Odds courtesy of Caesars Sportsbook)
No. 4 Maryland Terrapins vs. No. 1 Florida Gators
- Leg 1: Florida -2.5 Alt Spread (-208)
- Leg 2: Alt Total Over 153.3 Points (-158)
- Leg 3: Walter Clayton Jr. Over 19.5 Points (-117)
- Leg 4: Derik Queen 15+ Points (-245)
This should be one of the more exciting games of the Sweet 16. Both Maryland and Florida rank inside the top 70 in pace of play while also being inside the top 25 in offensive efficiency.
While both teams rank inside the top 10 in KenPom's defensive efficiency ratings, we should see this game soar over the total with both teams pushing the ball and playing at a fast pace.
Maryland may have the best starting five in the country, but their depth is very thin. Each starter averages 12+ points per game, while none of their bench players average more than four points per game.
Florida, on the other hand, is one of the more balanced teams in the country, led by arguably one of the best guards in the country - Walter Clayton Jr.
We saw how Clayton can take over a game in Florida’s matchup with UConn. He has eclipsed the 20-point mark in both tournament games and will be the best guard Maryland has faced all season.
Parlay Odd: +409
No. 10 Arkansas Razorbacks vs. No. 3 Texas Tech Red Raiders
- Leg 1: Texas Tech -2.5 Alt Spread (-188)
- Leg 2: Alt Total Under 152.5 Points (-188)
- Leg 3: JT Toppin Over 19.5 Points (-117)
I am very high on this Texas Tech team. They have all the attributes to be crowned National Champions. They play at a slow control pace while playing extremely well at both ends of the court.
They defend and shoot the three at a high percentage while taking care of the rock. When needed, they have a playmaker in JT Toppin who can take over the game. Toppin has topped 20+ points in four of his last five games and six of his last 10 games.
Usually, when we see a fast-paced team like Arkansas play a slower-paced team like Texas Tech, the slower-paced teams take control.
Arkansas hasn’t beaten a top-10 team all season, with its best win of the year coming last week against St. John's.
