βœ… ATS prediction: Michigan to cover the spread +8.5 ⭐⭐⭐
🎯 Score prediction: Auburn 79, Michigan 73

Here's why Phil Wood is picking Michigan to cover the spread (+8.5):

"The Wolverines have rattled off five consecutive wins. Michigan showed it could win any type of game during the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament. The Wolverines took a low-scoring affair against the UC San Diego Tritons before outscoring the Texas A&M Aggies on their way to a 91-79 win."

βœ… ATS prediction: Houston to cover the spread -7.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
🎯 Score prediction: Houston 75, Purdue 64

Here's why Brenden Schaeffer is picking Houston to cover the spread (-7.5):

"Purdue benefitted from High Point and McNeese being non-existent on the glass. The Boilermakers out-rebounded both mid-major opponents by a significant margin despite ranking outside the top 110 in both offensive and defensive rebounding efficiency, per Torvik. Houston should be more physical on both ends, and the team with the top-ranked adjusted defensive efficiency in the nation won’t allow so many easy buckets in the paint as Purdue’s previous opponents."
