NCAA Bets Predicts Texas Tech /

Greetings from NCAA central.  NCAA Bets swept the card this weekend, winning with South Florida Friday and the 2 dogs Saturday.

This really has been a fun and entertaining tournament, with all but one number 1 seed falling in spectacular fashion as very talented underdog teams vied for the coveted title.  Auburn gave a great performance and really should be there against Texas Tech.  NCAA bets applauds them.

However that was not meant to be, and from a handicapping perspective it actually makes it a clearer choice now than if Auburn had survived.

Now Virginia takes on Texas Tech for the title game – let’s use the same handicapping strategy as the previous 3 winners and predict the outcome.

First the power rating number.  NCAA Bets uses that number as a base for calculating the season versus the variance in recent play.  That number shows Virginia as a 3 1/2 point favorite.

Now let’s look at the previous 4 games for each team against the spread to determine which one is surging and which one is just getting by.  NCAA Bets gives a positive or negative number to the final score vs the spread.

Here are those games for Texas Tech in date order:
Won against Buffalo by 20 laying 4 points   =  +16
Won against Michigan by 19 getting 2 points  =   +21
Won against Gonzaga by 6 getting 5 points   =   +11
Won against Michigan State by 10 getting 2 points   =   +12

Now let’s look at Virginia (overtime games are considered a tie)
Won against Oklahoma by 12 laying 11 points   =   +1
Won against Oregon by 4 laying 8 points   =   -4
Won against Purdue in overtime laying 4 points   =   -4
Won against Auburn by 1 laying 6   =   -5

This shows a monster variance in recent play which completely overwhelms the power rating number.

Texas Tech has been rolling over the spread winning by double digits while Virginia is posting negative results.  Therefore NCAA Bets will make the following prediction:

Texas Tech wins the National Championship

Enjoy the game!  NCAA Bets will be back next season, but MLB bets and NBA playoff bets are still here on fantasycpr.com
