The first weekend of March proves to be a big one, especially for those that enjoy watching some big sporting events. March is typically the month when basketball starts to take over, and that is going to be the case this weekend as well.
Not only are there going to be some big sporting events throughout the weekend, but those will also lead to some good betting opportunities. Here is a look at the top sports events for this weekend, and some bets that you should look to make.
Kansas Jayhawks vs. Baylor Bears
The Big 12 Conference continues to be one that is loaded with great College Basketball teams, and two of those teams will meet up on Saturday. The Kansas Jayhawks will visit the Baylor Bears and this will be a battle of Top 25 teams.
Kansas continues to be one of the best teams in the country, but they have also struggled in a big way on the road so far this season. This is a game in which Baylor should be able to win, but you can expect to see a great game.
Marquette Golden Eagles vs. Creighton Bluejays
There will be several big college basketball games this weekend, including a Top 25 matchup in the Big East. The Marquette Golden Eagles will visit the Creighton Bluejays and these are two teams that could go on a deep run in March.
Marquette will be trying to slow down the tempo in this game and win with their physical play, while Creighton continues to be one of the most explosive teams in this conference. The Bluejays just continue to make some big shots, and they are nearly impossible to beat on their home floor.
This game will be extremely competitive, but Creighton is going to come up with a win in this game.
Denver Nuggets vs. Los Angeles Lakers
While it’s easy to focus on all of the great college basketball action that is taking place this weekend, you will also want to check out the NBA schedule. There is a big game in the Western Conference as the Denver Nuggets are set to visit the Los Angeles Lakers.
Denver has been one of the best teams in the league again this season, but playing the Lakers in Los Angeles is not going to be an easy task. Nikola Jokic will lead his team to a big performance, but the Lakers will be pushing hard as well.
The Nuggets should win this game, but taking the points and backing the Lakers might be a good idea as well.
Pennzoil 400
The NASCAR Cup Series Championship is now underway, and that means that there are races every single weekend. Some races tend to stand out more than others, and that will be the case when checking out the schedule this weekend.
The Pennzoil 400 is the race that will be run this weekend, and a full field of top drivers are expected to step up to the starting line. NASCAR continues to be a sport that leads to some great betting options as most of the drivers come with significant value.
Be sure to check out the full list of drivers and their odds ahead of this race and always search for the most betting value.
