March Madness betting has me so excited for the “Big Dance”, I can barely contain myself. There are so many games in my sportsbook this weekend, it’s insane. Saturday, No.1 UConn and No.3 Pitt go at it, and later that night, No.6 Louisville and West Virginia will battle, and the Huskies, Panthers and Cardinals all have a shot at the Big East crown. But the grandaddy of them all comes on Sunday, when No.2 North Carolina and No.7 Duke throw down.

The Tar Heels should be the online betting favorites in this contest, and they’ll be going for a season sweep of the Blue Devils, who can earn a split of the title with a win. The Tar Heels rolled to a 101-87 win at Duke on February 11th, powered by Lawson’s 25 points. Look for more of the same on Sunday, as the Blue Devils don’t have anyone who can keep Lawson from getting in the lane.  Tyler Hansbrough will also have a big game as it’s his last game at the “Dean Dome”. Bet on North Carolina to claim the ACC regular-season title as they head into the conference tournament, and cement their status as the March Madness betting favorites.
