Sweet 16 Best Bets March Madness Picks + NFL Draft Predictions with Colby Dant | Stephie Smalls Show (Ep 216)

The Sweet 16 is here and we’re breaking down the best bets, matchups, and angles you need to win your March Madness wagers. This episode features Colby Dant from The College Experience on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network, diving deep into key games like Duke vs Saint John’s, Alabama vs Michigan, Michigan State vs UConn, and Tennessee vs Iowa State. We discuss why Saint John’s could cover against Duke, including Rick Pitino’s coaching edge and matchup advantages, plus concerns around Duke’s youth and injuries. In Alabama vs Michigan, the Wolverines’ defense and size advantage are highlighted as reasons they could dominate, especially after Alabama’s unsustainable three-point shooting performance against Texas Tech. Michigan State vs UConn brings a physical battle where MSU’s toughness and consistency could give them the edge over Dan Hurley’s squad. Tennessee vs Iowa State focuses on coaching trends, injuries like Jefferson being out, and travel advantages for Iowa State fans in Chicago. We also dive into futures, including Houston’s value to win the tournament and how coaching rumors around programs like North Carolina and Kansas could impact teams like Alabama and Iowa State. On the NFL Draft side, we debate quarterbacks like Ty Simpson, Mendoza, and Nussmeier, plus discuss potential team fits like the Los Angeles Rams. Running back rankings include Jeremiah Love as a top prospect, with comparisons to Adrian Peterson, and sleeper names like Jadaveon Price. Additional sleepers include Eli Stowers and Michael Trigg as potential breakout NFL players. If you’re betting March Madness or preparing for the NFL Draft, this episode is loaded with insights, picks, and angles to give you an edge. 0:00 - Intro 0:52 - Vegas Recap 2:03 - Vegas Aging Talk 3:09 - Nate Craig 3:27 - Getting Older Vegas 5:12 - Heartbreak Bets 6:28 - Arizona Expectations 8:00 - Arizona Debate 9:10 - Best Bets Start 10:37 - Duke Saint Johns 12:53 - Alabama Michigan 15:09 - Michigan State UConn 16:01 - Tennessee Iowa State 17:15 - Futures Talk 19:25 - NFL Draft Intro 20:20 - QB Debate 21:24 - Team Draft Strategy 21:58 - QB Odds Talk 23:14 - Rams Angle 25:03 - Jeremiah Love 26:50 - RB Draft Odds 28:27 - Defensive Draft 31:00 - Draft Sleepers 32:43 - Show Outro Check out CigarBid and use my code SGPN for a great deal: https://cigarbid.com Exclusive SGPN Bonuses And Linkshttp://sg.pn/linksFollow The Sports Gambling Podcast X/Twitter - https://x.com/GamblingPodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/sportsgamblingpodcastTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@gamblingpodcastFacebook - http://www.facebook.com/sportsgamblingpodcastFollow The Sports Gambling Podcast HostSean Green - http://www.twitter.com/seantgreenRyan Kramer - https://x.com/KramerCentric Gambling problem?
