BYU vs Alabama March Madness Odds
We’re on to the Sweet 16 and it doesn’t get any sweeter than watching an underdog like BYU defy their March Madness odds. The Cougars are looking to keep their run alive, aiming for an Elite Eight spot as they take on a red-hot Alabama team in the East Region.
While BYU’s Cinderella story has been fun to watch, it’s no surprise that No. 2 seed Alabama remains the heavy favorite. But could the Cougars pull off another upset? Let’s dive into these college basketball lines and see if it’s possible.
BYU vs Alabama Prediction Today March 27
My prediction
Both teams can run up the score, and while BYU’s deadly from deep, this game is Alabama’s. Sure, the Crimson Tide might not shoot the 3-pointer as well, but they only allow 7.2 triples per game and dominate the glass, leading the nation with 42.9 rebounds, per NCAA betting tips. I’m expecting Alabama to contain BYU’s 3-point barrage and win this outright.
Top 3 BYU vs Alabama Betting Picks
My top picks
- Alabama -5.5
- BYU vs. Alabama Over 176
- BYU vs. Alabama top prop bet: Keba Keita Under 7.5 rebounds (+102)
My Analysis
- Alabama -5.5: When it comes to betting odds March Madness, did someone say “Roll Tide”? Look, BYU is no slouch offensively, drilling almost 11 triples per game, but Alabama’s defense loves to blanket the perimeter and ice shooters. With their 3-point defense in full effect, the Crimson Tide will handicap BYU’s already limited offense.
- BYU vs. Alabama Over 176: The Cougars will be tested offensively, and while it won’t be their usual 3-point marathon, they’ll knock down some shots. Factor in Alabama’s fast-paced offense, averaging a nation-leading 90.8 points per game, and this game is going over. For my expert NCAAB picks, bet the over. Points will be flying left and right.
- Keba Keita Under 7.5 rebounds: Need more March Madness expert picks? Bet BYU big man Keba Keita to finish under 7.5 rebounds. Keita’s been BYU’s lifesaver, clearing the glass when shots don’t fall. Now, he’s facing the nation’s top rebounding team, and I believe he’ll have his hands full trying to outmuscle a scrappy Alabama lineup, with three players averaging over six rebounds per game.
BYU vs Alabama March Madness Best Point – Scorer Prop
-
Mark Sears 21+ Points (-130)
My March Madness predictions? I’m riding with PG Mark Sears to score 21+ points and lead Alabama to the Elite Eight. What can I say? The left-handed guard has been a menace this season, and after a rare 12-point outing last game, he’ll be hungry to set the tone early against BYU’s defense.
Bet on Mark Sears 21+ Points (-130)
