BYU Cougars vs Alabama Crimson Tide Same Game Parlay Picks for March Madness Sweet 16 Round 2025

We’ve reached the Sweet 16 and BYU’s March Madness bets have been paying off as the Cougars continue to surprise us all. The Cougars are the No. 6 seed in the East and are gunning for an Elite Eight spot as they match up with a scorching Alabama team.

While BYU’s underdog story has been impressive, it’s no shock that second-seeded Alabama’s still the favorite. But can the Cougars continue their Cinderella story? Let’s look more into these March Madness odds and find out if they have what it takes.

BYU vs Alabama Free Sweet 16 Parlay Picks Today March 27

1. Alabama Crimson -5.5 (-110)

Looking at the odds for March Madness, Alabama takes this one by a landslide. BYU may be dangerous from deep, but Alabama can guard the perimeter, allowing just 7.2 triples per game. On top of that, as the nation’s top rebounding team, I’m banking on Alabama to control the tempo and limit BYU’s opportunities on offense.

Bet on Alabama -5.5 (-110)

2. BYU vs Alabama Over 175

Both teams thrive on a faster-paced style, and while BYU will have an uphill battle offensively, the Cougars will still knock down a good portion of their shots. Add in Alabama’s nation-leading 90.8 points per outing, and this game is set to soar past the 176-point mark. My expert NCAAB picks? I’m taking the over.

Bet on BYU vs Alabama Over 176 points

3. Marck Sears 21+ Points

Here’s the crème de la crème of my March Madness predictions: Mark Sears to score 21+ points and lead Alabama to an Elite Eight bid. It shouldn’t come as a shock – Sears has been Alabama’s offensive anchor all season, and coming off just a 12-point performance, I’m expecting him to come out swinging, ready to make BYU’s defense work and rack up points fast.

Bet on Marcus Sears 21+ points (-117)

4. Keba Keita Under 7.5 rebounds

If you’re looking for more March Madness picks, bet on BYU big man Keba Keita to finish under 7.5 rebounds. No question, Keita has been the Cougars’ anchor on the glass, but now he’s up against the nation’s top rebounding team, averaging 42.9 boards per game. With that in mind, Keita’s going to have a rough time against a tough Alabama lineup that has multiple players grabbing over six rebounds per game.

Bet Keba Keita Under 7.5 rebounds (+102)
