How to use the DraftKings promo code for March Madness

Today’s early afternoon slate features the top-ranked squads from the Midwest and South regions:

• No. 16 SIU Edwardsville vs. No. 1 Houston – 1 p.m. CST (TBS)
• No. 16 Alabama State vs. No. 1 Auburn – 1:50 p.m. CST (CBS)
• No. 12 McNeese vs. No. 5 Clemson – 2:15 p.m. CST (truTV)
• No. 11 VCU vs. No. 6 BYU – 3:05 p.m. CST (TNT)
• No. 9 Georgia vs. No. 8 Gonzaga – 3:35 p.m. CST (TBS)

The spread may seem a bit large for an 8-9 matchup, but my best bet is Gonzaga -5.5. Head coach Mark Few has been to 15 NCAA Tournaments since 2009, and the Bulldogs advanced to the second round or further each time.

Gonzaga holds a 25-8 record with nine wins in the last 10 games. The roster is deep, as five players average over 10 points per game.

Georgia deserves some leeway for playing in a tough conference, but the Bulldogs went 8-10 in SEC play. I expect the negative momentum from Georgia’s first-round exit in the SEC Tournament to carryover, resulting in a Gonzaga win and cover. Plus, this is UGA’s first March Madness appearance since 2015.
