The action was 65% or greater bets coming in on the Saints.  The reaction from the bookmakers was to move the line to -6 and encourage even more wagers on New Orleans.  Ultimately the Panthers managed to cover that spread with a three-point loss, but bookmakers throughout North America and beyond were surely sweating this one out. 

Today's top bet is UAB, which was coming in with a line of -2.5.  Bookmaker had brought this one down to -1.5.

While this may appear to be a strong opinion favoring UAB, we'd exercise a bit of caution.  The action is only skewed around 58% in the Blazers favor on average. 

The Lakers were seeing 67% of the action versus the Brooklyn Nets Tuesday night as a -2.5 road dog.  This one opened at -2 so books are certainly following the action early on.

Iowa State: Are They The Underdogs To Look For In March Madness?

They may be defined as “underdogs” or “Cinderella teams”, a term that is usually saved for teams that have little to no chance of winning even a single game during the NCAA Tournament. Teams like Loyola Marymount (1990), George Mason (2006), Davidson (2008), VCU (2011), UConn (2014), and Loyola Chicago (2018) come to mind when conversations turn toward the most surprising tournament runs in recent memory.
