March Madness Props and Best Bets: Alabama vs North Carolina Predictions for the Sweet 16

The Sweet 16 sees Alabama taking on UNC as a 4.5-point underdog and we fully expect the stars on both sides to do what they do best. Read more in our March Madness prop picks below.opened with a massive Over/Under of 173.5 for this showdown which makes sense since both teams have highly efficient offenses and love to push the pace while the Tide struggle to defend.lead the country with a whopping 90.7 points per game but also give up plenty of points, surrendering 84.

Bacot became a March Madness star when he helped lead UNC to the national title game in 2022 and he's seen his offensive role increase in this year's postseason run as well, dropping 18+ points in each of his last four games. The senior is a monster on the glass and with Alabama 238th in the country in defensive rebounding rate, he should get his share of putbacks.

The Tar Heels are 54th in the country in opponent 3-point percentage but don't actually defend well against perimeter shooters and allow high-quality 3-point attempts.That regression may have hit since they're allowing opponents to shoot 39.6% over their last three games and now face Sears who can light it up from deep. With the O/U on Sears' threes set at 2.5 and the Bama guard eclipsing that number in nine of his last 14 games, we'll take the Over.

However, his biggest impact has come on the boards. Ingram is actually in a bit of a mini-slump when it comes to rebounding, averaging a modest 5.3 rpg over his last four games. UNC faced some extremely slow-paced teams during that span and there will be more available rebounds in this contest since these up-tempo attacks rank near the top of the country in field goal attempts per game.
