Follow the MoneyCBB2023-03-16Be wary of laying big numbers with #2 seeds, as they are just 12-23-1 ATS (34.3%) since ’05 when favored by 17 points or more. This includes four straight ATS losses and an upset of Kentucky a year ago. (Against UCLA -17.5)
Follow the MoneyCBB2023-03-16 Only six first-round favorites of 14.5 points or more out of 166 have lost outright while going 80-81-4 ATS (49.7%), so while a near automatic bracket advancement, these teams are coin flips as point spread wagers. Of course, Kentucky was the most recent to do so, losing 85-79 to St. Peter’s last March. (Alabama -24, Arizona -14.5, Gonzaga -16, Houston -19.5, Kansas -22, UCLA -17.5)
