Summary
In this episode of The Spread Zone, Scott Rizzuto and Jackson Burkett break down the start of March Madness with picks and betting angles from the First Four through the Round of 64, including Prairie View A&M as a short underdog, a look at the Miami (OH) vs. SMU total, and several key matchups like VCU vs. North Carolina and St. Louis vs. Georgia. The guys also highlight double-digit underdog value, large spread considerations, and a strong lean toward Northern Iowa as a live 12-seed with upset potential.
