Following a wild and unpredictable regular season, this year’s NCAA tournament has got off to a terrific start. Now that we’re in the second week of the action, these Sweet 16 games feature the best teams remaining in the field and we should see some excellent matchups as a result. With so many exciting games, I have combed through the board and found a few edges that I believe can create a parlay with an excellent payout at over 12/ 1 odds!

San Diego State ML (+285) over Alabama Crimson Tide
To start off our mega parlay, we’re taking a big swing with San Diego State money line. Between the pair of #1 seeds in action on Friday, I think the one that is more likely to go down is actually the top overall seed. Alabama has coasted to the Sweet 16 and the Crimson Tide probably have the best overall roster in the nation. However, Alabama’s strategy of shooting a ton of 3-pointers and generating attempts at the rim is not something that creates issues for San Diego State. The Aztecs have one of the best defenses in the country, ranking 4th in 3-point field goal percentage allowed and sitting at 5th in adjusted defensive efficiency at KenPom. San Diego State won’t get out and run in transition with Alabama, as a slower-paced game in the halfcourt is more to the Aztecs liking. In a game that I see coming down to the wire, I’ll take a shot with the underdog.
