While the NBA season is still happening, we’ve got something better – March Madness. The brackets are set, the chaos is coming, and first up, we’ve got New Mexico taking vs Marquette in a Round of 64 showdown. If you’re looking to bet on March Madness, this is a matchup worth considering.

The NCAAB odds favor Marquette, but New Mexico has been racking up wins and isn’t here to roll over. This might be one of those days to call in sick. There’s an upset brewing, and we have to talk about it.

New Mexico vs Marquette Prediction Today March 21

My prediction

This game has been catching plenty of attention, and for good reason, but I’m backing the Lobos to cover and win outright. Why? Marquette’s offense is no joke, but its interior defense has been a disaster, ranking 168th, allowing opponents to shoot 43.5%. Meanwhile, New Mexico thrives on their two-point field goal play and crashing the boards. Take the Lobos to defy their March Madness odds and pull off the upset.

Top 3 New Mexico vs Marquette Betting Picks

My top picks

1. New Mexico vs Marquette ATS Pick: New Mexico +3.5

2. New Mexico vs Marquette O/U Pick: Over 154

3. New Mexico vs Marquette best point-scorer bet: Kam Jones 3+ threes (+122)

My Analysis

New Mexico ATS -110: For March Madness predictions, this one’s easy – I’m riding with New Mexico against the spread. The Lobos’ rebounding and inside scoring outweigh Marquette’s sloppy interior defense. With center Nelly Junior Joseph grabbing over 11 boards per game, expect him to dominate inside and give New Mexico the edge in a tight one.

New Mexico vs Marquette Over 154: Both teams can score at will, with two of the nation’s top guards matching up. New Mexico thrives inside while Marquette struggles there – and New Mexico can’t guard the perimeter, which is Marquette’s sweet spot. Take the over for your NCAAB picks.

Kam Jones 3+ threes: Need more March Madness picks today? Take Kam Jones to drain 3+ triples. Jones has been the fuel for this Golden Eagles offense, and with the Lobos struggling on the perimeter, I’m banking on their leading scorer to stay hot and keep Marquette’s offense rolling.

New Mexico vs Marquette March Madness Best Prop Bet

Nelly Junior Joseph 12+ Rebounds

Did someone say ‘buffet’? Because that’s what Junior Joseph, a pure glass cleaner, will have on the boards. Marquette’s been struggling in the rebounding department all season long, and with Junior Joseph grabbing just eight boards last game, he’ll be hungry to top that mark in my NCAA basketball picks.

PROP PICK: Nelly Junior Joseph 12+ Rebounds (-137)
