Picking every single winner on one of the first two days of the NCAA Tournament? That’s a bit difficult…albeit not impossible. But when you only have to pick 8 games successfully instead of 16? That’s well within the realm of possibility. And that’s exactly what we are trying to do as March Madness heads into second-round action on Saturday.
The first Sweet 16 berths are set to be handed out, so let’s celebrate a huge afternoon and evening on the hardwood by going big. Here is my millionaire parlay for Saturday, and you can also find our March Madness basketball picks for every game.

Furman Paladins ML (+200) over San Diego State Aztecs
Furman beating Virginia was dramatic, but it really wasn’t that big of a surprise. The Paladins have another very winnable game against San Diego State. The slipper fits!
Here is all of our NCAA Tournament coverage on the March Madness hub
Duke Blue Devils ML (-154) over Tennessee Volunteers
Duke may be the lower-seeded team in this matchup (#5 vs #4), but the Blue Devils are favored for a reason. The ACC Tournament champions are on an absolute roll at the right time.

Kansas Jayhawks ML (-166) over Arkansas Razorbacks
The value on Kansas as a relatively small favorite is too good to pass up. These Jayhawks are the defending national champs and I think their back-to-back dream will remain alive for at least another week.
Missouri Tigers ML (-275) over Princeton Tigers
You can’t count out Princeton, who busted brackets by beating Arizona on Thursday. I wouldn’t make a standalone bet on Missouri at this price, but I’m not going to let Princeton bust this parlay with a loss.

Houston Cougars ML (-235) over Auburn Tigers
Marcus Sasser’s recurring groin injury is cause for concern. The Cougars aren’t going to win it all if he is hurt, but they can at least get to the Sweet 16 without him.

Penn State Nittany Lions ML (+200) over Texas Longhorns
Penn State was arguably the most impressive team in the entire first round from the standpoint of quality on display. That’s no shock, either, as the Nittany Lions are coming off a run to the final of the Big Ten Tournament. They can keep it rolling.

UCLA Bruins ML (-330) over Northwestern Wildcats
I have UCLA winning it all, so I’m not about to say that the Bruins are getting bounced in round 2. I’m expecting another straightforward day at the office for Jaime Jaquez Jr. and company.

Alabama Crimson Tide ML (-365) over Maryland Terrapins
Maryland is coming off an absolutely wild affair with West Virginia in what was the very first game of the tournament. The Terrapins may run out of gas against the most naturally talented team in the field.
