Michigan vs. Arizona Betting Analysis

Limping into the tournament from an ATS perspective, the Wolverines have turned it around with dominant wins to see a current 3-0 ATS run. This comes after Michigan entered the big dance on an 0-5 ATS skid before falling in the ATS market to Howard during the First Round. Since, Michigan has been in cruise control but one concerning trend is that Michigan is actually 1-9 SU in the first half of March Madness games against Top 4 seeded schools.

From the point total market, Michigan has hit the Over in four of five games but has gone Under 146 total points in 16 straight neutral court games against a Top 10 AP ranked school. Arizona is the best ATS team in this tournament, posing an insane 10-1 ATS record in its last 11 games on a neutral court. The Wildcats are currently on a 6-0 ATS run while also winning 17 straight games outright when facing a non-conference school.
