Austin Mock identifies five value bets for March Madness

The NCAA Tournament is a major event in sports, featuring 67 games over three weeks. Betting on these games can be exciting, but it's important to look for good opportunities rather than betting on every game. A betting model by Austin Mock has found five valuable bets for the tournament. These bets focus on both team performance and game totals. It's recommended to find the best odds available, as this can improve overall betting results. One bet involves a matchup between Saint Francis and Alabama State. Both teams have below-average offense, suggesting there may be fewer points scored in the game. Mock believes many shots will need to go in for the total score to rise above expectations. In another game, San Diego State's strong defense is key against North Carolina's usually fast-paced offense. Mock's model predicts a low-scoring game, highlighting the defense’s ability to limit North Carolina’s second-chance points. Conversely, a matchup between Drake and Missouri could see more points. Drake is known for a slow pace, but Missouri's strong offense could speed up the game. Mock's projection suggests this game might yield a higher total score. For the NC Wilmington vs. Texas Tech game, Mock notes that UNC Wilmington struggles to defend against three-point shots. Texas Tech excels at shooting from distance, which could lead to more scoring despite both teams playing slow. Finally, Liberty is seen as an underdog against Oregon. Liberty has impressive shooting stats, which could give them a chance against a solid, but not dominant, Oregon team. Mock warns that Oregon may be overrated due to their recent success.
