The NCAA Tournament officially gets underway Thursday, with all four First Four games taking place.
And while recreational bettors are flocking to each of these games, they might not necessarily know all that much about some of the teams, especially smaller programs like Norfolk State, Appalachian State, Mount St. Mary’s and Texas Southern.
However, that doesn’t mean these games are offering any less value than matchups featuring more well-known schools.
In fact, according to our College Basketball PRO Projections, it’s Texas Southern vs. Mount St. Mary’s that’s actually providing the largest betting edge on the First Four slate.
Using our college basketball model, here’s the Texas Southern vs. Mount St. Mary’s edge worth betting.
Texas Southern vs. Mount St. Mary’s Pick
Interestingly, the biggest First Four betting edge comes from the Texas Southern vs. Mount St. Mary’s total and not the spread.
Our College Basketball PRO Projections set this number at 129, which translates to a C-graded, 2% betting edge when compared to the market consensus of 131.5.
While it’s certainly not the biggest edge we’ve seen, there is enough value for bettors dead-set on playing this (or any) First Four matchup.
PRO Projections Pick: Texas Southern-Mount St. Mary’s (Under 131.5)
