AccuScore provides industry leading sports simulations, game forecasts, betting predictions, and fantasy tools for the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAAF and NCAAB.

When it comes to high profile sporting events and big betting opportunities, the public has a love affair with point spreads. Everyone is focused on either laying or taking the points. Lost in the hysteria of the opening rounds of the tournament is the value on over/under lines (also known as totals).

Totals have been a profitable business for AccuScore over the course of this past season. After forecasting over 3,000 games this season, we had accuracy of 54% (please visit our Daily Line Report for documentation) and our selections were profitable in 13 of the 15 specific trend scenarios we track.

In looking at the first round match-ups, AccuScore has identified three games that we feel provide a great opportunity to make money.

Maryland vs. California

Do not fear the turtle! Every time Maryland takes the court, AccuScore users should take notice. AccuScore over/under selections in games involving Maryland has our highest accuracy and unit return for any team in college basketball. AccuScore selections in Maryland games are 20-5 (80% and +1450 units) this season.
