The last four prospects do not have the story of Cinderella. It’s all seed no. 1, like Florida meetings Aburn and Houston to take over Duke On Saturday’s national semifinals.

But the prospects are still looking for a book of a story that ends. In the case of Caesars Sports, which involves removing responsibility on the current championship favorites.

“We need the Duke of there.” Then we can remove the oxygen mask, “said Rich Zanco, head of trading basketball basketball at Caesars.

Zanco and sharply Faculty basketball bookmaker Paul Stone They serve their insights into the last four chances, as March Madness dives in April.

Duke

Duke is 35-3 straight up (are) and solid 26-12 against spread (ATS). Blue devils won in 15 consecutive games, in this range the next 11-4 ATS.

So it’s not surprising to see Cooper flagg & Co. As favorites against Houston (34-4 SU/20-17-1 ATS), at 8:49 pm on Saturday. It is worth noting that Cougars are on a winning series of 17 games, although they are not so good in covering the number, they go 8-7-2 ATS in that part.

Duke opened -4.5, quickly progressed at -5 on Sunday night, and the line has since soaked between -5.5/-5 on Caesars.

From Thursday night, blue devils have been favorites with 5 points.

“Obviously, there will be a flood of public money on the Duke. But there is nothing wrong with Houston in this game,” Zanco said. “Sharper players and sophisticated bets can come to” dog if there is a Houston +6, which could.

“I guess someone at some point will flash 6, whether we are or someone else.”

While Duke sees most of the plain points on Caesars, a flat game for money is leaning in Houston to +235.

A bet of $ 100 on the expression of Cougars would profit $ 235 (total payment of $ 335).

However, as often pointed out in the last two weeks, the favorites are going through the March madness.

Chalk went 12-0 in Sweet 16 and Elite Eight and 48-12 are over 60 games.

“To be honest, we haven’t had ‘a dog crust for a long time,” Zanco said, noting that the Cougers cover could be helpful, but it is far better. “We’ll need Houston in that game.”

Sharp madness sharp side

Texas handicapper Paul Stone thinks the points will be at the top when Houston and Duke traveled on Saturday night.

Houston took 1st place in defensive efficiency and 360. In a custom pace, according to the statistics Guru Ken Pomeroy. Cougari also lead the nation to achieve defense, allowing only 58.3 points per game.

“Duke obviously is a rigid challenge to defend Houston,” Stone said. “Blue Devils average 84 points on average in the game, and Cooper Flagg is a nightmare for any team, with his ability to achieve from the outside and go to the basket.”

Stone expects Houston to use J’wan Roberts Like flagg’s primary defender, but these other species 6 feet-8- Joseph Tugler and Ja’vier Francis – It will also turn.

“Flagg will get their points,” Stone said. “But I think Houston will make him work for everything he gets.”

Stone said that the best path of Houston to a potential victory is to slow down the pace and play as physically how much officials will allow.

“Houston has improved significantly this season. But Cougars can’t get into a scoring match with Duke,” he said. “Cougars have to shorten the game and turn it into a rock fight, so to speak. I like this game remains under a total of 136.”

Sec showdown

The first semi -finals on Saturday, at 18:09 et, contains famous enemies. The SEC champion in the regular season Auburn meets the champion of the SEC Florida tournament.

These two teams only met once this season, February 8th in Auburn. Gators were a strong underdog of 11 points and withdrew direct upsets 90-81.

This time, Florida is favored, sitting at -2.5 most of this week, except literally a few minutes on Sunday at -3.

“There are 3 out there in one or two other books. I would doubt that at some point we will probably be Florida -3,” Zanco said on Wednesday. “We see some actions in Florida, but they also bet Auburn. We will probably need Auburn, but I don’t know how much it will be.”

Caesars Sports would not mind any of these teams who won it all on Monday night. As Zanco noted above, the championship of the Duke is a loser of the book.

Houston is also good for Caesars, but it’s just not that good. There is 10,000 dollars of ate on Cougars +2200 To win the title, which would make a profit of $ 220,000.

“We’re going to Auburna at Auburn at a futures pool and extremely well in Florida,” Zanco said, noticing that all four seeds number 1 could do the job. “Any of these teams could reduce nets.”
