Saturday’s best March Madness Elite Eight prop bets: Bet on Duke’s Cooper Flagg against Alabma

Cooper Flagg headlines Saturday’s March Madness prop bets.

The pregame narrative: Flagg is coming off a 30-point virtuoso against the Arizona Wildcats in the Sweet 16, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he flirts with that number again. Take the over on his point total against the Alabama Crimson Tide and also back Florida’s Elijah Martin.

Check out the best March Madness prop bets for March 29.

Best Bet: Flagg over 23.5 points (-124)

Embed: #111858

Teams are falling over each other in the NBA for the rights to acquire Flagg, and it’s not hard to see why.

The consensus No. 1 pick in the 2025 draft and NCAA National Player of the Year has been lighting up the tournament so far:

First-round vs. Mount St. Mary’s: 14 points, seven rebounds, five assists
Second-round vs. Baylor: 18 points, nine rebounds, six assists
Sweet 16 vs. Arizona: 30 points, six rebounds, seven assists

I wouldn’t worry much about Flagg failing to clear this mark in Duke’s first two games. He played sub-30 minutes in both contests as the Blue Devils cruised to blowout victories.

When Jon Scheyer needed Flagg in a tight Sweet 16 matchup, he delivered.

The forward played 37 minutes on Thursday — his most since early February — and took a team-high 19 shots.

Alabama ranks fourth in KenPom’s adjusted offensive efficiency and has the superstars to keep this game close. The Crimson Tide’s defence isn’t nearly as good, though, ranking 347th in points allowed (81.2) and 331st in fouls committed (18.9/game).

Flagg should get a ton of run in a back-and-forth affair.

Key stat: Flagg is 10-5 against this line when playing more than 30 minutes.

Best March Madness picks

Martin over 14.5 points (-134): Walter Clayton Jr. is Florida’s top dog — there’s no disputing that.

But Martin is exactly what a championship team needs, a steady No. 2 who hits his shots and takes care of the basketball.

The senior guard is averaging 14.6 PPG this season and has turned up the heat since conference tournament play began:

15.3 PPG
55.0% shooting
4-2 vs. this line

Martin fell just shy of this mark in the Sweet 16, scoring 14 points on 4-of-10 shooting. The Texas Tech Red Raiders should throw everything at stopping Clayton, and I’m hoping that results in quality looks for Martin.

Kentucky vs. Tennessee Sweet 16 SGP predictions: Bet on Williams and Zeigler in +380 SGP

Two SEC rivals battle in the Sweet 16 on Friday when the Kentucky Wildcats take on the Tennessee Volunteers.

The pregame narrative: Kentucky has had Tennessee’s number this year, and I expect to at least keep this one close. In addition to backing the Wildcats ATS, I’m taking prop bets on Amari Williams (Kentucky) and Zakai Zeigler (Tennessee).

Check out my Kentucky vs. Tennessee SGP predictions for their Sweet 16 matchup on March 28.

Kentucky vs. Tennessee predictions

Parlay: Kentucky +8.5 | Williams 8+ rebounds | Zeigler 15+ points (+380)

Embed: #111856

Kentucky +8.5 (-210): I think the Wildcats are live to win this game and wouldn’t mind backing them on the moneyline at +163.

Kentucky is 5-1 in its last six games vs. the Volunteers.
Tennessee has failed to cover an -8.5 spread in six of its last eight Quad 1 games.
The Wildcats are 8-4 ATS as an underdog this season (including two outright wins against Tennessee).

Tennessee’s offence is solid but relies heavily on the 3-point shot. The Vols take 43.3% of their shots from 3-point range (79th in D-I), and the Wildcats have held opponents to a 30.6% shooting from deep (24th in D-I).

Rick Barnes and Tennessee have only made one Elite Eight since the 2010-11 season. Granted, it was last year, but I can’t trust that body of work.

NCAA SGP legs

Williams 8+ rebounds (-139): Williams is poised to make his mark on Friday.

The 7-foot, 260-pound centre has nearly 30 pounds on anyone in Tennessee’s lineup and recorded 13 and 10 boards in his first two tournament games.

In his first meeting against the Vols this year, Williams hauled in 15 rebounds in 24 minutes. That was part of a seven-game stretch where he had 10-plus rebounds six times.

He only had three rebounds when they battled in Lexington, but was still a force:

Amari Williams was Kentucky's +/- MVP in two games against Tennessee.

Mark Pope should lean heavily on the senior transfer tonight.

Zeigler 15+ points (-167): This could be Zeigler’s last game with Tennessee, and I expect him to have a night.

The fourth-year senior has been a remarkably consistent scorer, which gives us a solid baseline to work with:

10+ PPG in three straight seasons
10+ points in 29 of 35 games this year
15+ points in 17 of 35 games this year
4-1 against this line in his last five

Zeigler scored 13 points in his first meeting with Kentucky this season while shooting 1-for-11 from deep. The next time they met, he scored 17 points and only attempted two 3s.

I’m hoping he tries to do damage from the inside tonight, where the Wildcats are more vulnerable.

Friday’s best March Madness Sweet 16 prop bets: Fade Kaufman-Renn, back Richardson and Goldin

The final four spots in the Elite Eight will be punched on Friday, and I’ve got three prop bets for the action.

The pregame narrative: Trey Kaufman-Renn has been on a tear for the Purdue Boilermakers, but is worth fading against the Houston Cougars. I’m also backing Jase Richardson (Michigan State) and Vladislav Goldin (Michigan) to do damage.

Check out the best March Madness prop bets for March 28.

March Madness prop bets

Best Bet: Kaufman-Renn under 17.5 points (-130)

Fading Kaufman-Renn is risky business considering he’s leading Purdue with 20.3 PPG and has cleared this line in five straight.

But on Friday, he faces a nightmare matchup against the Cougars:

Houston has the best adjusted defensive efficiency in the country, according to KenPom.
That’s largely thanks to owning the fifth-best 2-point defence (44.3%) and having the fifth-highest block rate (15.9%) in D-1.
The Cougars also play with the fifth-slowest pace, averaging just 61.6 possessions per 40 minutes.

Kaufman-Renn has only attempted seven 3-pointers all season, and I struggle to see him producing with fewer opportunities against a team which fights tooth and nail on every possession.

Key stat: The Cougars allow 58.4 PPG, the lowest in D-1.

Best March Madness picks

Richardson over 14.5 points (-125): Richardson is coming off his worst game as a Spartan, scoring six points on 1-of-10 shooting against the New Mexico Lobos in the second round.

Do yourself a favour and throw that result out of the window.

The freshman guard has been a beast since entering the starting lineup on Feb. 8, and one bad result won’t discourage me from backing him at this number.

16.2 PPG
8-5 against this line

Mississippi has a solid defence, mainly because it’s disruptive, forcing turnovers on 20.3% of possessions. But Richardson takes care of the ball and can score from anywhere on the court.

Goldin over 17.5 points (-130): Michigan’s offence is run through a pair of 7-footers in Goldin and Danny Wolf — this seems like a great spot for the former to do damage.

The senior from Russia is averaging 16.8 PPG and has cleared this mark in six of his last nine games. He’s coming off a 23-point outing against the Texas A&M Aggies, who rank eighth in KenPom’s adjusted defensive efficiency.

And while Auburn’s defence is solid (12th in defensive efficiency), it commits a lot of fouls (18.4/game, 305th in D-1).

Goldin had 11 free-throw attempts against Texas A&M in the second round and is shooting 73.3% from the line this season.

The Rebels also rank a pitiful 318th in rebounding rate, and I expect Richardson to over-index on the glass.

Arkansas vs. Texas Tech Sweet 16 SGP predictions: Back Razorbacks, Jonas Aidoo at +340

Thursday’s final Sweet 16 game takes place in San Francisco, when the No. 10 Arkansas Razorbacks battle the No. 3 Texas Tech Red Raiders.

The pregame narrative: John Calipari looks to advance to the Elite Eight for the first time since 2019, when he coached the Kentucky Wildcats. Will he do it? I’m not sure, but I am taking Arkansas to cover an alt spread alongside prop bets on Jonas Aidoo (Arkansas) and Darrion Williams (Texas Tech).

Check out my Arkansas vs. Texas Tech SGP predictions for their Sweet 16 matchup on March 27.

Arkansas vs. Texas Tech predictions

Parlay: Arkansas +8.5 | Aidoo over 10.5 points | Williams over 13.5 points (+340)

Embed: #111798

Arkansas +8.5 (-190): Arkansas is a Cinderella story in seeding only, with Coach Cal bringing big-name recognition to a program featuring talent up and down the roster.

It took a while for the Razorbacks to get chugging, but they’ve hit their stride at the right time:

Arkansas has won four of its last five games, all against Quad 1 opponents. The outlier was a three-point loss to Ole Miss, which is also in the Sweet 16.
In that span, the Razorbacks are averaging 83.2 PPG. That’s what 1-seeded Duke has averaged across the whole season.

I’m also not quite sold on Texas Tech, which is 4-6 ATS in its last 10 games as a favourite. The Red Raiders have also failed to cover an -8.5 spread in five of their last six Quad 1 games.

Tech takes 37.4% of its shots from beyond the arc (47th in D-1), and Arkansas holds opponents to a 31.6% 3-point percentage (59th in D-1).

NCAA SGP legs

Aidoo over 10.5 points (-115): This should be a breeze as long as Aidoo stays out of serious foul trouble, which is admittedly no guarantee.

The 6-foot-11 forward has picked up 4+ fouls in 6 of his last 7 games, fouling out against Ole Miss in the SEC Tournament.
But Aidoo still dropped 17 points against Ole Miss and is averaging 14.0 PPG in that seven-game stretch.

He was instrumental in Arkansas’ round one win over the Kansas Jayhawks, scoring 22 points while attempting 19 shots.

Calipari should lean heavily on Aidoo again versus an undersized Tech Tech team ranking 289th in average height. Only one of the Red Raiders’ starting five stands above 6-foot-6 (JT Toppin, 6-foot-9).

Williams over 13.5 points (-190): Williams was a force for Texas Tech in the second round, scoring a game-high 28 points in a blowout win over Drake.

He fell just shy of this line in the Round of 64, with 13 points on 5-of-15 shooting — but I love to see that type of volume.

The 6-foot-6 forward has big scoring upside and has gone over this line in 19 of 32 games. Being a career 38.5% three-point shooter certainly helps his cause.

Orioles vs. Blue Jays SGP Predictions March 27: Back Berrios and Rutschman on Opening Day

The Toronto Blue Jays host the Baltimore Orioles on Opening Day, and I’ve built a four-leg SGP for the action.

The pregame narrative: For the first time since 2019, Toronto will open its season at home. With two aces on the bump, I’m hesitant to back a side. So instead, this wager features player props on Jose Berrios, Adley Rutschman and Alejandro Kirk.

Check out my Orioles vs. Blue Jays SGP predictions for March 27.

Orioles vs. Blue Jays predictions

MLB Opening Day Boost: Jays to win & Santander to homer. Bet now (+578)

Parlay: Rutschman 1+ hits | Kirk 1+ hits | Berrios 4+ Ks | Under 10.5 runs (+340)

Embed: #111792

Rutschman 1+ hits (-250): I’m sure Berrios is itching to get the ball on Opening Day, but he probably wants nothing to do with Rutschman.

Baltimore’s all-star catcher has dominated Berrios, and I expect him to bring the boom again.

13-for-22 (.591 BA)
2 doubles, 3 home runs (1.091 SLG)
0 strikeouts

Batting for average and power against a pitcher of Berrios’ calibre is one thing, but I’m most impressed by the zero strikeouts. Every time Rutschman has faced the righty the ball is in play, which is insane.

Kirk 1+ hit (-230): This could be the last season with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette in Toronto, but Kirk isn’t going anywhere.

The catcher just signed a five-year, $58-million contract with the Blue Jays, and it’s not hard to see why the front office loves him.

Kirk has batted .265 with a 106 OPS+ since becoming an everyday starter in 2022, while providing elite defence.

He doesn’t strike out much, with a 15.7% whiff rate (92nd percentile) and 13.2% K rate (95th percentile), according to Baseball Savant.

Kirk is 6-for-14 against Baltimore starter Zach Eflin with one strikeout.

MLB SGP legs

Berrios 4+ Ks (-286): Berrios isn’t an elite swing-and-miss arm by any means, but he pitches deep into ballgames and is reliable against this total.

He went 24-8 against this line in 2024 and cleared it in 12 straight games to close out the season.

In 11 career starts against the Orioles, Berrios is 8-3 against this line with a 2.95 ERA.

Under 10.5 runs (-230): Taking the under on this teased-up game total brings our parlay from +180 to +340, well worth it in my opinion.

Berrios and Eflin are both solid, and I expect them to suppress scoring.

Toronto’s ace has a 2.96 ERA against the Orioles since 2022 and logged two quality starts against them last year (both wins).

Elfin, meanwhile, was great for Baltimore following his acquisition at last year’s trade deadline. He owned a 2.60 ERA and 1.12 WHIP across nine starts for the O’s.

That includes a game against Toronto where he gave up three runs over 6.0 innings with seven Ks.

Opening Day betting insights

The Yankees have a Gerrit Cole-sized hole in their rotation and a Juan Soto-sized hole in their batting lineup. Still, New York is favoured on Opening Day with Carlos Rodon (3.96 ERA in 2024) starting against Milwaukee’s Freddy Peralta.
Toronto’s future as a competitive ball club hangs in the balance this season, and starting hot at home will be crucial for success. Berrios has a 2.96 ERA against the Orioles since 2022 and logged two quality starts against them last year (both wins).
Paul Skenes had a historic rookie season and starts his sophomore campaign against one of MLB’s weakest teams from 2024. Miami went 30-51 at home last season and counters with Sandy Alcantara, who is coming off his worst year as a starter (4.14 ERA, 113 ERA+).
Detroit went 21-10 with Skubal on the mound last season but is an underdog on Thursday. That makes sense considering the Tigers will face the best offence in baseball on the road. Skubal likely won’t pitch deep into this game, and Los Angeles’ bullpen had the third-best ERA in 2024.
One of the last games on Opening Day takes place in Seattle, where Logan Gilbert and the Mariners host the Athletics. Gilbert was picked by two of our staff writers to win the AL Cy Young and has held this A’s lineup to a .107 batting average in 97 plate appearances.

Brewers vs. Yankees Opening Day prop picks March 27: Back Jackson Chourio, fade Carlos Rodon

The Milwaukee Brewers and New York Yankees kick off Opening Day at 3:05 p.m. ET in the Bronx.

The pregame narrative: Jackson Chourio is coming off an electric rookie season and I expect him to start 2025 on the right foot. Take the over on his total bases prop and fade Yankees starter Carlos Rodon’s strikeout total.

Check out my Brewers vs. Yankees prop picks for Opening Day.

Brewers vs. Yankees prop picks

MLB Opening Day Boost: Jays to win & Santander to homer. Bet now (+578)

Best bet: Chourio over 1.5 bases (+135)

Embed: #111779

The sky is the limit for Chourio, who finished third in NL Rookie of the Year voting in 2024.

That was thanks to a flat-out dominant second half of the season. Check out what the then-20-year-old shortstop did following the all-star break:

.310/.363/.552 slashline
33 extra-base hits
139 total bases (2.2 per game)

The biggest knock on Chourio would be that he strikes out too much, which is fair. But I’m optimistic he’ll be able to get after Rodon.

The lefty posted a -5 fastball run value (20th percentile) and -8 breaking run value (fifth percentile) last year, per Baseball Savant.

His offspeed is by far his best stuff (+6 run value, 93rd percentile), but Chourio handles that well. The Venezuelan slugged .456 vs. off-speed pitches last season.

Key stat: For what it’s worth, Chourio had a monster spring training, batting .469 with a 1.223 OPS in 49 plate appearances.

Prop prediction

Rodon under 5.5 Ks (+102): Rodon is a solid swing-and-miss arm, but I’ll err toward fading him on Opening Day.

The Brewers are very much a neutral matchup, ranking 15th in K rate and wRC+ against lefties last season.

Teams have a tendency to keep a short leash on their starters to begin the season, carefully monitoring pitch count as guys slowly ramp up to a full workload.

I expect New York to do the same, especially given how thin its rotation is with Gerrit Cole and Luis Gil already sidelined.

Rodon went under this line in 14 of 32 starts last year, landing on exactly six Ks five times.

Celtics vs. Suns SGP predictions March 26: Back Phoenix on alt spread, Durant to score at +310

The Boston Celtics and Phoenix Suns wrap up Wednesday’s six-game NBA slate.

The pregame narrative: Jayson Tatum is officially listed as doubtful after suffering an ankle injury against the Sacramento Kings on Monday night. Take the Suns to cover an alternate spread alongside prop bets on Kevin Durant and Derrick White in this +310 SGP.

Check out my Celtics vs. Suns SGP predictions for March 26.

Celtics vs. Suns predictions

Parlay: Suns +10.5 | Durant 25+ points | White 4+ threes (+310)

Embed: #111724

Suns +10.5 (-315): It doesn’t appear that Tatum’s ankle injury is severe, which is good news for Celtics fans. But with Boston’s playoff seeding practically locked up, it wouldn’t make sense to risk furthering the injury tonight.

Boston has won 11 of its last 12 games, with six coming by 11-plus points. Without Tatum, though, I expect a much tighter affair.

The Celtics are 5-1 without Tatum this year, but only one of those wins was by more than 10 points.
Phoenix has won six straight home games, most recently beating the Cleveland Cavaliers and Milwaukee Bucks.

The Suns are fighting for their play-in lives and currently hold a 0.5-game lead over the Dallas Mavericks for the West’s final spot.

It would be a disgrace for them to get blown out at home against a shorthanded Celtics squad tonight.

NBA SGP legs

Durant 25+ points (-121): This could be Durant’s last year with the Suns, and if it is, he’s going out with a bang.

The future Hall of Famer is averaging 26.8 points per game (sixth-most in the NBA) on stellar 52.8/42.6/83.4 shooting splits.

He’s scored at least 20 points in 52 of 59 games, which is an insane scoring floor for a 36-year-old.

Durant has cleared this number in 61.0% of games this season, including each of his last three, where he’s averaging 35.3 PPG.

White 4+ threes (-114): I backed White to cash this wager in one of today’s best NBA prop bets and will double-dip for this SGP.

Check out what the shooting guard has done from 3-point land this season.

3.5 threes on 38.5% shooting
3+ threes in 50 of 68 games
4+ threes in 31 of 68 games

Without Tatum in the lineup, and in a plus matchup, I expect White to over-index. Phoenix’s opponents are shooting 37.5% from 3-point range since the all-star break (seventh-highest in the NBA).
