Today the College Basketball Picks world looks to the Final Four teams left in the Tournament. When looking at the trends of all final four and championship games played since 1996 it shows that favorites are 25-14 SU and 20-19 ATS (15-10 SU and 12-14 ATS in the Semis and 9-4 SU and 8-5 ATS in the Championship Game). Analysing this part of the NCAAB Picks season there are certainly some situations that have been historically strong that we can look to exploit this year.

Today we have #1 seed North Carolina installed as 7 point favorite over the #3 seed Villanova Wildcats and #1 seed Connecticut listed as a 4 point favorite over #2 seed Michigan St. So that we might get a good NCAAB Picks angle for today let's take an historical look at the seeds:

So outside of the seedings and their historical performances let's now take a look at home teams have faired when looking at pointspread ranges:
