'The Bear' is here with everything you need to know ahead of March Madness. Check out his region-by-region breakdown, which includes the best historical betting trends and bets.
'Bear Bets' are real wagers that Chris 'The Bear' Fallica is actually making. The biggest gambling event outside of the Super Bowl is finally here! Welcome to March Madness! If you are looking for some help with filling out your NCAA Tournament bracket or are just going to throw a few bucks down with some bets, I have you covered with my region-by-region breakdown of the tourney.
Northwestern +2.5 vs FAU: The Owls have been underwhelming all season, so do not expect a return trip to the Final Four. And their tournament lives might be even more short-lived than that if the Wildcats hit their threes and Boo Buie is healthy. South Dakota State +16.5 vs Iowa State: Iowa State’s stock can’t get any higher and that’s always a bit of a dangerous thing when you’re expected to go out and blow out your first-round opponent.
Baylor -13.5 vs. Colgate; Baylor to win region +675: Colgate has lost by 27 to Arizona and 17 to Illinois. Those are the two teams it has faced that are comparable to Baylor's level. The Bears might have to overcome the tempo of Colgate, but once they do, they should be able to name their score. Saint Mary’s -5.5 vs. Grand Canyon: Grand Canyon might have been a matchup problem for a lot of teams, but I don’t think the Gaels are one of those teams.
Longwood team total Under 51.5: I’d expect an angry Houston team and if we saw a 39-17 score at some point, I wouldn’t be surprised. Texas Tech -5 vs NC State: NC State survived against Louisville and needed a Virginia meltdown from the foul line in its surprise run to the ACC title, which left most people saying, 'Where did that come from?' I don’t think this is a great matchup for the Pack, given how good Tech’s guards are and how the Red Raiders can salt a game away from the FT line.
