The Baylor Bears have been a winning and covering machine since last season and you probably shouldn’t be looking forward to betting against them. However, Villanova Wildcats played an impressive ball in the first two rounds and kicked well enough from the outside to give this Baylor defense problems. In addition, this will be the first time in the entire season Villanova is an underdog. Villanova has only been unlucky four times since December 2019. You are also giving Jay Wright nearly a week to the game plan. I’ll take my chances with the free points and the Wildcats.
