UConn vs UCLA Same Game Parlay Picks: Best Bets for NCAAW Final 4, April 4

NCAAW UConn vs UCLA Same Game Parlay Picks Today

The second March Madness women’s semifinal features a UConn program with a record 11 national titles going against the UCLA Bruins, the No. 1 overall seed in this year’s tournament. It should be rather entertaining.

UConn is 6-1 against the NCAAW odds in the Big East and NCAA tournaments, and UCLA has a 4-3 ATS mark since the end of the regular season. The Bruins have seen more postseason games land over this season than the Huskies.

The NCAA women’s basketball odds have UConn favored by 7.5 points. Those who think that line is a bit high for a game of this magnitude might want to look at -405 odds for UConn to win outright. There’s not much value in going down that path as a standalone pick, but it could work as part of a parlay. UConn has the shortest line to win it all in our NCAA women’s basketball championship odds.

NCAAW UConn vs UCLA free March Madness Parlay Picks Today April 4

1. UCLA ATS +7.5

Hopefully, you jumped all over the opening NCAAW betting line that has UConn as a 10.5-point favorite. The line is a more reasonable 7.5 right now.

Even at that number, UCLA is being a little undervalued. The Bruins are 12-2 against ranked teams. They beat USC while JuJu Watkins was healthy, and UConn can’t say the same thing.

Go with the Bruins to hang around and cover, even if their dream of winning the national title could end in Tampa on Friday night when looking at the March Madness Picks.

Bet on UCLA ATS +7.5

2. Connecticut vs UCLA Over 135 (-115)

With the talent set to take to the court, the 135-point line could be at risk when it comes to the NCAA women’s basketball predictions today. UCLA has scored more than 70 points in each of its seven postseason games, while the trio of Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd, and Sarah Strong can pile up the points in a hurry for the favored UConn Huskies.

UConn topped 100 points in its first two meetings with UCLA. I’m not expecting that to happen in this March Madness game. However, going with the game to land over 135 could be a smart bet.

Bet on UConn vs UCLA Over 135 (-115)

3. Lauren Betts Over 20 Points (-130)

Lauren Betts is averaging 21.3 points in the postseason on 75% shooting. UConn hasn’t faced a team that wants to throw the ball in the low post on every possession since facing Iowa State in mid-December.

Did we mention that she was just named the Naismith National Defensive Player of the Year as well?

Betts will get plenty of touches and could be a solid bet (no pun intended) at -130 to have 20 points as a tempting NCAAW expert pick.

4. UConn First Teams to 35 points (Ev)

Both UConn and UCLA will look to hit the ground running in what could be an entertaining semifinal. With these being the first meeting of the season between the Huskies and the Bruins, will the offenses get off to strong starts?

When making March Madness picks, take the even-money odds for UConn to be the first team to 35 points.
