DraftKings is offering an amazing odds boost Saturday on No. 15 seed Saint Peter's to pull another upset against No. 7 seed Murray State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Saint Peter's is the 8.5-point underdog with a +320 moneyline at DraftKings, but they are boosting that to +500 odds (max $25 bet to win $125) if the Peacocks can continue their Cinderella run.
Personally, I was already interested in the Saint Peter's moneyline against Murray State after the shocking upset of No. 2 Kentucky in the first round Thursday, so the boosted odds are just icing on the cake. After a win like that, anything is possible for Saint Peter's. As good as Murray State has been this season, their story may not be enough to prevent a Cinderella story from unfolding.
BEST BETS BY REGION: EAST | SOUTH | MIDWEST | WEST
There are several reasons to like the Peacocks tonight beyond just the potential payout. First, BetQL is leaning toward Saint Peter's covering +8.5, which is a good start. Second, BetQL is assigning just a one-star value (which is to say, no value at all) to Murray State's -435 moneyline, which can sometimes hint at an upset. And to that point, Saint Peter's is 9-1 SU against teams called for 17 or fewer fouls per game after 15+ games this season. Insert "thinking-face emoji" here.
This Saint Peter's team has the feel of last year's Oral Roberts squad, another 15 seed that offed No. 2 Ohio State in the first round and No. 7 Florida in Round 2 on their way to the Sweet 16, and I think the Peacocks can make a similar run. Most importantly, I'm not betting against Doug Edert's mustache.
