Elite 8 Betting: Kansas/VCU, North Carolna/Kentucky

[ad#bodog-250]Sunday will be a fantastic day of college basketball. On Saturday, two winners will head to the Final Four, with the other two being decided on Sunday. Three big time programs will play, while the underdog Virginia Commonwealth tries to slay the powerhouses. Let’s take a look at the two games that are set to take place on Sunday.

Kansas Jayhawks -11 over Virginia Commonwealth Rams

The Morris brothers are too big and too strong for the VCU Rams. Their size and strength is far more than VCU can throw out their in the post. The Rams have had a great run, winning four NCAA tournament games, including the play-in game over USC. The Kansas Jayhawks can shoot the basketball about as well as any team in the history of the NCAA tournament. Kansas is making nearly 52% of their shots taken. VCU is not only going to have to do a solid job of defending the post, but they are also going to have to contain Brady Morninstar and Tyrel Reed from behind the arch. Look for Kansas to do like they did against Richmond; jump out to a big lead, then cruise and win this game. Kansas Jayhawks -11.5 over Virginia Commonwealth Rams is our pick!

North Carolina Tar Heels +1.5 over Kentucky Wildcats

Interesting line here, with two of the most traditional favorites in the history of the NCAA tournament. Roy Williams against John Calipari. Both of these coaches have been in and won big games in the past. This game is going to be full of athletes that will be playing at the next level. North Carolina is coming off the blow-out win over Marquette, while the Wildcats upset the favorite Ohio State. Look for this game to get up and down, which is more at the pace of North Carolina. Kentucky is a bit too young to play 40 minutes of up and down basketball. When it comes down to it, North Carolina wins this game and covers the +1.5 underdog spread. North Carolina +1.5 over Kentucky!

See you all next week for some March Madness Final Four picks!
