Joe Wiz, one of nation’s top sports betting analysts takes the madness out of March Madness 2021
Arkansas survived Colgate and Texas Tech for their first Sweet 16 appearance in 25 years. Arkansas led Texas Tech by 13 with nine minutes left, and then had to fight off a 23-12 Tech run to win by just two. The Razorbacks have been lucky for bettors, going 12-3-0 ATS since Jan. 23rd. They find themselves as double-digit favorites over the surprising Oral Roberts team. Since Nov. 2019, Arkansas is just 2-7-0 against the spread as double-digit favorites. The Wiz feels this line is a bit inflated and expects the Hogs to advance but Oral Roberts to Win the bet.
