5 Best Plus-Money Futures for Remainder of March Madness

Ryan Kalkbrenner: Midwest Region Top Points Scorer (+1600)

I’m eyeing a Purdue-Creighton Elite Eight in the Midwest Region, and Zach Edey leads this prop section at -105. I’m not betting on Edey at -105, so I’ll rely on Ryan Kalkbrenner goin toe to toe with him in the paint. Kalkbrenner has averaged 21 points over two tournament games thus far, leading the Bluejays. At +1600, the value is too much to pass up.

Creighton: Final Four (+450)

Am I the only one who thinks Creighton is being dismissed in the Midwest Region? They are only 2.5-point underdogs to a Tennessee team that’s been somewhat unreliable in March in recent seasons, and this team has beaten UConn this season, so why should I underestimate them against a talented Tennessee team? I like their chances to advance against Tennessee, but in a likely matchup against Purdue, they have the height to prevent Zach Edey from taking over the game for the Boilermakers. At +450, the Bluejays are too talented and proven to be overlooked.

Two No. 1 Seeds in Final Four (+140)

We can essentially already gift UConn their Final Four spot, but after them, I think it’s safe to say just one more No. 1 seed will join the Final Four. To fill that other spot, I expect Arizona to take down North Carolina, and then I’m counting on one of Houston or Purdue to fall. I hope it's Purdue, so at +140, I like the value I’m getting here.

Caleb Love: West Region Top Points Scorer (+380)

Looking at the West Region Final, it will likely be North Carolina vs. Arizona. North Carolina’s leading scorer will likely be RJ Davis, but he’s priced at +200 to lead the region in points. Caleb Love, the former Tar Heel, has averaged 18.5 points across two tournament games, and you’re telling me he won’t want to put Arizona on his back against his former squad with a Final Four bid on the line? At +380, we know Love’s ceiling is high, so how don’t we bet this?
