Men’s College Basketball Final Four Parlay Odds & Picks (2022)
Seemingly just getting started, only three games remain in the 2022 March Madness that was, as the Final Four in New Orleans, LA is now just days away. After all the carnage in getting to this point, it’s four Blue Bloods that remain as Villanova/Kansas started only to be followed by a Duke/North Carolina matchup for the ages.
Let’s take a closer look at both games and a two-leg parlay I have cooked up for all the action.
Freedman’s Favorite Final Four Player Props >>
Leg #1. Villanova ML | +165 at DK Sportsbook
Big East Player of the Year Collin Gillespie will have his work cut out for him Saturday even more than usual, as his #2 Justin Moore tore his Achilles in the final minutes of the team’s Elite 8 game. While Moore is one of the most dynamic players in the country, his backup senior Caleb Daniels is one of the more underrated players on this roster, and just two seasons removed from averaging 16.9 points per game in his own right.
For the Jayhawks, their own conference Player of the Year, Ochai Agbaji, who is averaging 18.9 points per game, will look for this time to be different following a 2018 Final Four blowout at the hands of this Wildcats team. While point guard Remy Martin’s tournament play has been special, he hasn’t faced the counterpart as he will in Gillespie.
Look for the guard play and coaching (massive edge to Villanova) to be the difference in this one, as the Wildcats edge the Jayhawks in what I expect to be a dog fight.
Leg #2. Duke -4 | -110 at DK Sportsbook
This one will certainly be one for the ages.
In what will be the 258th meeting between two giants of college basketball, including the last with legendary Coach K at the helm, it is their first time meeting in the Final Four.
For the ages.
For the Tar Heels, a 13-point March 5th win at Duke in Coach K’s send-off game was the spark they needed to make this historic run as an eighth seed all the way to the Final Four. In his first year at the helm, new North Carolina head coach Hubert Davis has pushed all the right buttons for a previously underachieving UNC team to reach this game, reaching the Final Four for the first time since 2016.
In this one, however, led by freshman phenom Paolo Banchero who has put this team on his back, I expect Coach K and company to get their revenge. The frontcourt led by Banchero and Wendell Moore Jr. will likely be too much for a Tar Heels team that allowed 72.6 points per game this season, putting them 279th in the country.
