March Madness Betting on Power Dogs at Sports Gambling
March Madness betting success with the power teams can often come when they are posted as underdogs against the March Madness betting line. There is no better example of a valuable March Madness betting power dog than the 2008 Kansas Jayhawks.
Kansas entered the 2008 “Big Dance” with a well deserved March Madness betting reputation for choking and blowing games to unknown opponents making for monumental and unforgettable historic upsets.
The Jayhawks had proven to be a poor value against the March Madness betting line as favorites, especially as power favorites against those lesser known teams. But in 2008 the Jayhawks finally made it to the Final Four where they were March Madness betting underdogs in both of their games against North Carolina and Memphis.
KU was a 2.5-point March Madness betting underdog against their former coach Roy Williams and his Tar Heels. This was a classic March Madness betting matchup of TWO name brand teams on the same court and Kansas prevailed over North Carolina 84-66 in a blowout.
The Jayhawks were 2-point dogs against the March Madness betting line in the national championship game against the undefeated Memphis Tigers and got the cash in a 75-68 overtime win to finish March Madness betting a perfect 2-0 as a power pup!
Kansas, in fact, suffered the opposite March Madness betting scenario in 2007 when they were a 2 point favorite against another name brand power, UCLA. The Bruins defeated the Jayhawks 68-55 to make the Final Four and give yet another vivid illustration of the big bite of March Madness betting power underdogs.
In fact, in 2006 when UCLA made it all the way to the national championship game, they were March Madness betting dogs three times.
The Bruins defeated Memphis 50-45 as 2.5-point dogs and then beat LSU 59-45 as 1.5-point pups before finally losing in the title game to Florida 57-73 as a 1-point dog to finish a profitable 2-1 for the “Big Dance” when getting points.
