- St. Peter’s Is The First 15 Seed To Advance To Elite 8
- 3 Of The 6 Remaining Teams Are From The ACC
- Kansas Jayhawks Are Last 1 Seed In Tournament
Elite 8 betting wraps up this afternoon as two more teams will qualify for the 2022 March Madness Final Four, joining the Duke Blue Devils and Villanova Wildcats.
The first Elite 8 matchup of the day is a 10 vs. 1 pairing of the Miami Hurricanes and Kansas Jayhawks that is set for a 2:20 PM tipoff on CBS.
Miami Hurricanes (#10) vs. Kansas Jayhawks (#1)
- Hurricanes +6.0, Jayhawks -6.0
- Moneyline: Hurricanes +220, Jayhawks -270
- Over/Under: 147.0
Kansas is the only remaining 1 seed and they’re hoping to parlay that advantage into their 4th College Basketball National Championship. That reality is only three wins away from the Jayhawks and they’re heavily favored over Miami to advance to the 2022 Final Four.
Now that the field has narrowed, the oddsmakers at March Madness betting sites are able to focus more on creating unique and specific college basketball prop bets. The following March Madness prop suggests that Miami’s Kameron McGusty will be the game’s top scorer.
March Madness Prop Bet For Top Scorer: Kansas vs. Miami
- Kameron McGusty (Miami) +250
- Ochai Agbaji (Kansas) +400
- Remy Martin (Kansas) +650
- Isaiah Wong (Miami) +600
- Christian Braun (Kansas) +800
- Charlie Moore (Miami) +900
- Jalen Wilson (Kansas) +900
- Jordan Miller (Miami) +1000
- Sam Waardenburg (Miami) +2000
- David McCormack (Kansas) +2000
McGusty has averaged 19.7 points per game over the Hurricanes’ first three 2022 March Madness games and wagers of $1 will net bettors $2.50 if he posts the highest tally in tonight’s Elite 8 contest.
Literally any other player will reward net payouts of 4-to-1 or better regardless of who is wagered upon, but only if you lock in these moneyline odds before they shift in-game.
St. Peter’s Peacocks (#15) vs. North Carolina Tarheels (#8)
- Point Spread: Peacocks +8.0, Tarheels -8.0
- Moneyline: Peacocks +290, Tarheels -380
- Over/Under: 137.0
The St. Peter’s Peacocks have advanced further into the tournament than any other 15 seed in the history of March Madness. The Peacocks have defied the odds produced at college basketball betting sites so far and will move on to the Final Four if they can beat the UNC Tarheels tonight.
Although North Carolina is an 8 seed, they’re still getting a significant edge in the point spread as they are projected to win by 8 and end the Peacocks’ Cinderella Story.
For gamblers that believe that St. Peter’s March Madness run is not over, their +290 moneyline odds to win are where action should be laid.
Below are the current futures odds to win March Madness on April 4th with the Duke Blue Devils now holding the top position after beating the Arkansas Razorbacks last night.
