On March 26th, the sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament heats up with favorites expected to dominate, just like last season when they swept through. To the Elite 8, expert picks from Draft King's odds highlight Duke as a six and a half point favorite over St. John's Michigan, nine and a half over Alabama and Iowa, state three and a half over Tennessee. Low scoring games look likely, especially with teams struggling from three point range. Duke shook off a first round scare to crush TCU by 23 in the round of 32 and their poised to handle St. John's inside game, expect under 66 and a half points in the first half, as both squads lean on layups and free throws rather than outside shots. Puppet money pours in on St. John's despite the line holding steady, but Michigan's elite efficiency and rebounding edge should overwhelm Alabama's. Three point heavy attack. The Wolverines have scored nearly 200 points already while forcing turnovers that the tide can't handle.

Iowa State plays his best ball now, even without a key player, and they match a well against Tennessee's turnover issues in the first half, covering one and a half. Futures bets include Houston, Purdue and Iowa State reaching the Elite 8. These picks build on a strong tournament run, sitting at 23 wins and 17 losses for plus 5.75 units overall, setting. But more action as the bracket titans.
