Best Bets for the NCAA Men’s National Title Game


The grand finale is tonight. One Shining Moment is all queued up. Most importantly, the best bets are in for tonight’s title game.

Jake’s Picks

  • Michigan -6.5
  • Under 145.5

Jake’s Take

I like Michigan to cover tonight. They’ve been the most complete team in the tournament and have been elite on both ends. I think the Wolverines will control the tempo and stretch the lead late. This feels like a championship game grind. Both these teams defend at a high level which means longer possessions and more half-court sets.

Marler’s Picks

  • UConn +6.5
  • Michigan -3 1st Half
  • Alex Karaban Over 12.5 points
  • Braylon Mullins Over 2.5 threes
  • Yaxel Lendeborg Over 1.5 threes

Marler’s Take

Michigan is a wagon, and I think they may be destined to win it all. It’s impossible to pick against Dan Hurley and UConn against the spread though. They have been counted out in every game since the Sweet 16, and all they’ve done is win.

I like Mullins to hit the over on his three-point prop again, he’s back home playing in front of a local crowd and has been red-hot this tournament. Karaban has been under lately, but I expect a bounce-back in his final college game. And Lendeborg’s three point over has been easy money, so we’re riding it again.
