<p>The 2022 NCAA Basketball Championship continues with the South Region Elite Eight matchup, so we’re taking a closer look at Saturday’s clash from AT&amp;T Center in San Antonio, Texas, to get you the best Houston vs. Villanova betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>According to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>, Houston is a small 2-point fave with a total of 128.5 points. The Cougars meet the Wildcats for the first time since November 1991 when Houston demolished Villanova 79-49.</p>



<h2>Houston shoots for its seventh straight victory                 </h2>



<p>After winning the American Athletic Conference championship tournament with a 71-53 thrashing of the Memphis Tigers, the No. 5 Houston Cougars (32-5; 25-12 ATS) cruised through their first three outings in the 2022 NCAA Tournament. They beat No. 12 UAB 82-68 in the first round; No. 4 Illinois 68-53 in the second round, and No. 1 Arizona 72-60 in the Sweet 16.</p>



<p>Last Thursday, the Cougars upset the top-seeded Wildcats as 1.5-point underdogs. They held Arizona to 33.3% shooting from the field and 31.8% from beyond the arc. The Cougars shot 46.0% from the field and 45.0% from downtown, while sophomore guard Jamal Shead led the charge with 21 points, six assists, four rebounds, and a couple of steals.</p>



<p>Senior guard Kyler Edwards has been the Cougars’ best player so far this season, averaging 14.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game. Houston is a top-10 team in the country in both offensive and defensive efficiency. The Cougars tally 118.2 points per 100 possessions (8<sup>th</sup>) and surrender 89.9 in a return (10<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<h2>Villanova rides an eight-game winning streak                </h2>



<p>The No. 2 Villanova Wildcats (29-7; 19-15-2 ATS) extended their winning streak to eight games following a 63-55 victory over the No. 11 Michigan Wolverines in the Sweet 16. They covered a 4.5-point spread, recording their fourth ATS victory in the last five outings at any location.</p>



<p>Senior forward Jermaine Samuels tortured the Wolverines for 22 points on 8-for-13 shooting from the field and 5-for-5 from the charity stripe. He also had seven rebounds and a couple of steals and blocks. Junior guard Justin Moore accounted for 15 points and four assists, while senior G Collin Gillespie added 12 points and six rebounds.</p>



<p>The Wildcats score 117.9 points per 100 possessions (9<sup>th</sup> in the country) on 43.7% shooting from the field (202<sup>nd</sup>) and 36.0% from beyond the arc (57<sup>th</sup>). On the other side of the ball, Villanova yields 93.0 points per 100 possessions (24<sup>th</sup>) on 40.8% shooting from the field (41<sup>st</sup>) and 30.7% from beyond the 3-point line (40<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Houston:</strong></p>



<ul><li>10-1 ATS in the last 11 games overall&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>5-0 ATS in the last five outings as favorites&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Villanova:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-4-1 ATS in the last six outings as underdogs</li><li>2-5 ATS in the last seven games played on Saturday&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-houston-vs-villanova-pick">Houston vs. Villanova Pick</h2>



<p>This should be a proper hard-fought battle between a couple of hard-working teams. Both Houston and Villanova are capable of playing terrific defense, and I lean the Cougars because of their physical advantage over the Wildcats.</p>



<p>Houston leads the country in the opponent field goal percentage (37.4%). Also, the Cougars rank eighth in offensive rebounds (13.3) and 14<sup>th</sup> in blocks per game (5.2).</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Houston -2.0 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>I’ve mentioned how good these two teams are on the defensive side of things. They also love to play at a slow pace, so my best Houston vs. Villanova betting pick is the under on the totals. While the Cougars record 63.7 possessions per 40 minutes (338<sup>th</sup> in the nation), the Wildcats register 62.6 (345<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<p>The under is 5-1 in Villanova’s last six games overall. On the other side, the under is 8-2 in Houston’s last ten contests overall, and it is 7-2 in the Cougars’ previous nine outings as favorites.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 128.5 points at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>

The National Football League (NFL) is easily the most popular sport in the United States, especially when it comes to betting. NFL betting puts up the biggest numbers every single year, and bettors are always looking for new betting options.

The NFL was founded all the way back in 1920 in Canton, Ohio, and that is where the Hall of Fame is located to this day. There were only a handful of teams in the league when it first started, but it didn’t take long for the league to grow.

There are now 32 teams in the NFL, and the league is broken up into two conferences and eight total divisions. Since the league just continues to be more and more popular, the league has added an extra regular season game for each team to play in.

NFL teams now play 17 total regular season games, and then the top seven teams in each conference advance to the postseason. The NFL regular season begins in September, and the Super Bowl is now played during the month of February.

When it comes to the NFL, the Super Bowl is the event that draws the most betting attention. This league isn’t going away anytime soon, and it’s actually started to become more of an international competition.

This article will not only cover the best NFL betting sites &amp; sportsbooks, but will also provide some tips on how to bet on the NFL.
<h3>Where to bet on NFL</h3>
Knowing where to find the best NFL sportsbooks is a big key if you want to have some success when wagering on this sport. Here are six of the best NFL sportsbooks to use, and all of them are going to be a little bit different.

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

<p>The National Basketball Association is a league full of stars, but the future of the franchise hasn’t even played a regular season game yet. Victor Wembanyama is already a household name, and he is going to enter the league with a ton of hype.</p>



<p>The San Antonio Spurs were able to select Victor Wembanyama with the number one pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, and they hope that he transforms their franchise. It’s been a rough few years for the Spurs, but getting the young phenom can turn things around in a hurry.</p>



<p>Since Wembanyama is expected to be one of the most popular players in the league right away, there are many different ways to bet on the rookie. BetOnline has three different betting markets available for the Spurs forward, and the betting lines suggest that he could be great right away.</p>



<p><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/bookmaker/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Check out the full 2023/24 NBA season odds over on Bookmaker</a></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-hard-to-score">Hard to Score</h2>



<p>Fans tend to focus on points when identifying the best players in the NBA, and Wembanyama has proven that he can put up points in a hurry. Wembanyama was doing all of that scoring against inferior competition, but he does have all of the tools to be a great offensive player right away.</p>



<p>The problem for Wembanyama is that he is going to be the focus of every single defense in the league, as the Spurs don’t have a ton of talent. He is going to have some monster games during his rookie season, but there will also be games in which he struggles.</p>



<p>The over/under for points per game this season is set at 17.5 points per game, and that’s a big number for a rookie. You can take the over 17.5 at -110 or go with the under at -130 when it comes to this market.</p>



<p>The hype would suggest that Wembanyama is going to score 30 points per game, but that just doesn’t happen for anyone in this league. Even with some struggles, you have to bet on the over 17.5 points per game for the rookie, as he is going to be trying to put the Spurs on his back.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-defensive-star">A Defensive Star</h2>



<p>It might take Wembanyama sometime before he becomes one of the best offensive players in the NBA, but he can make a huge difference on the defensive end of the floor right away. Wembanyama has the ability to guard at all five positions, and the Spurs are going to rely on him to do just that.</p>



<p>You can also bet on the rebounds per game and the blocks per game for Wembanyama during his rookie year, and they suggest dominance right away. There are some rookies that tend to ignore the defensive part of the game when they first enter the league, but that won’t be the case in this situation.</p>



<p>The over/under line when it comes to rebounds per game for Wembanyama is set at 8.5, and the betting odds are at -120 for either side of that wager. Getting nine rebounds per game would put the rookie near the top of the league and could make him into an All-Star right away.</p>



<p>You can also bet on the average blocks per game, and that number is set at 2.5. There are very few players in the league that are going to be even close to that number, and it just speaks to his ability on the defensive end of the floor.</p>
