The time is here for Final Four predictions, and here at Bankroll Sports, we’ve got our choices all ready and raring to go for the MVP of the Final Four. Check out our Final Four MVP picks for this weekend!

The man that is obviously the favorite to beat the odds to win the Final Four MVP is Connecticut Huskies superstar Kemba Walker (2 to 1 @ BetUS Sportsbook). Is Walker the best player on the best team in this dance? Possibly. He’s certainly the best player in the tourney, but he might not be on the best team. This is the right end of the draw for Walker to be on to win this honor, though. At some point, he was probably going to have to go through the Kentucky Wildcats anyway, and he is going to need to come up with one of these games like he had against the San Diego State Aztecs in the Sweet 16 when he rolled off a 14-1 personal run all by himself. You know that Walker is scoring the most points on the Huskies in virtually any game that they play. The question is whether UConn is winning it all or not.

There are doubts about every other player in this tournament though, as there isn’t a bona fide superstar that we know is going to be the most likely candidate to win the honors from his team assuming that that squad wins it all. We hate the odds to win Final 4 MVP on Brandon Knight (2.50 to 1 @ BetUS Sportsbook), just due to the nature that we could get Kentucky at 1.40 to 1 to win it all with or without Knight winning MVP. However, getting great odds on Terrence Jones (8 to 1 @ BetUS Sportsbook) is where it’s at if you’re loving Kentucky. Jones has really been tempered in this tournament due to the fact that he has gone up against some of the best big men in the nation, and he knows that these next two challenges should be significantly easier. Teams have been cueing in on Jones instead of Josh Harrellson, but there is no way that Harrellson is taking down the MVP honors for this tournament.

If there is a man like Harrellson that will be winning this award, it is Matt Howard (10 to 1 @ BetUS Sportsbook) from the Butler Bulldogs. Howard is one of these scrappy characters that just puts up some great numbers game after game without you even realizing it. He’s a great rebounder on the inside, and you know that he can shoot the ball on the outside just as easily as he can take it to the hole from the low block. Howard is the most dynamic player on the court for the Dogs, and he is the most likely candidate to get the job done in our opinion, even more so than Shelvin Mack.

Another type of player in the same sort of mold that could have great Final Four MVP odds is Bradford Burgess (20 to 1 @ BetUS Sportsbook) of the VCU Rams. First off, VCU is only 6 to 1 or so to win it all, meaning we’re getting better than 3 to 1 odds that Burgess is going to win the MVP of the game should the Rams win it. Those are some tremendous odds. Sure, Jamie Skeen could trump us, and we wouldn’t be overly, overly surprised if that were to happen, but the odds differential here is just insane. Burgess can get a double-double against an undersized Butler team relatively easily, and he is the type of man that can turn around that next game and hit all of those huge shots against either the Huskies or Wildcats from the outside that turns the tide of the game.

5Dimes Sportsbook has a full list of propositions for each of the Final Four betting affairs for this Saturday’s games. Here at Bankroll Sports, we have all of the action covered with your best picks that can boost your bankrolls!

Prop Bet #1: Gordon Hayward -1 point vs. Raymar Morgan (-120): Let’s just start with the basics on this one. Morgan averages 11.5 points per game against teams that typically play significantly worse defense than Butler. Hayward averages 15.5 points per game and has proven that he can put up big numbers against the likes of Kansas State and Syracuse already. Now, if we dig a bit deeper, we’ll see that Morgan is probably going to be the guy that the Bulldogs try to shut down. Not only are both Hayward and fellow big man Matt Howard stellar post defenders, but Morgan’s history in the tournament so far isn’t exactly stellar. MSU’s second leading scorer has only put up a total of 20 points in two games without G Kalin Lucas in the lineup, mostly because G Durrell Summers has really taken over the scoring load. That being said, we know that Hayward will get his points, especially considering the fact that he scored 49 of them against the Orange and Wildcats combined. This one seems to easy to miss.

Selection: Gordon Hayward -1 point at 5Dimes. (50% Deposit Bonus by clicking This Link.)

Prop Bet #2: Devin Ebanks over/under 20 Points + Rebounds: We like this particular matchup for West Virginia because Ebanks just doesn’t have an equal on the court in terms of athleticism. If the Blue Devils throw Brian Zoubek at him, he’ll just run around him. If it’s Singler, he’ll eat up the glass. The only legitimate matchup chance may be Lance Thomas, who would be undersized. Compare Ebanks a bit to F Ekpe Udoh for Baylor, who went for 18 points and ten boards against these Dookies last Sunday. The West Virginia forward averaged 12.0 points and 8.2 rebounds per game this year against Big East foes, so this is probably a decent indicator of what we can expect against the Blue Devils. However, when push comes to shove, he’s averaged over 37 minutes per game in the L/3 rounds of this tournament, which should set the stage for some extra stats from his season averages. Expect to see Ebanks squeak by this number by a few.

Selection: Devin Ebanks Over 20 Points + Rebounds at 5Dimes. (50% Deposit Bonus by clicking This Link.)

Prop Bet #3: Nolan Smith over/under 16.5 Points : This is a bit of a surprising line to see to say the least. Smith may only be the third best scorer on this team at 17.4 points per game, but he has been the only major of the three Dookies that really hasn’t hit a big scoring drought at any point during recent weeks. G Jon Scheyer had his streak of a half dozen games in which he scored below his average, while F Kyle Singler is coming off of a game in which he failed to hit a single shot from the field. Meanwhile, Smith seems to have the hot hand, scoring 29 points against Baylor. He also has a 20 point effort against Cal to his credit in the dance as well. Look for him to take over against a West Virginia team which really only has a weak spot in its defense on the perimeter. Smith could have a fantastic game.

With just four teams remaining in the chase for college basketball’s biggest prize, BoDog Sportsbook has assembled a list of props for the Final Four that are ripe for the picking. Here are our free Final Four prop picks for the weekend!

Prop Bet #1: What will the highest scoring team be in the Final Four games?: Considering just how good the defensive stats are in the Final Four, this prop could be incredibly difficult. After all, both over/unders are very low (Michigan State/Butler: 126, West Virginia/Duke: 130.5). However, don’t over think this one. The Bulldogs have kept both Syracuse and Kansas State under 60 points, and it seems awfully likely that that will be the fate of Michigan State as well. So now we’re looking at the winner of the Duke/West Virginia game. You probably won’t go wrong just by taking both the Mountaineers and Dookies, but we’re going to go with West Virginia because of its potential to explode and go on big runs through its post players.

Selection: West Virginia Mountaineers 5/2 at BoDog Sportsbook. (100% Deposit Bonus by clicking This Link.)

Prop Bet #2: Who will score the most points during the 2010 Final Four?: It’s important to note that the top four favorites for this prop are all either West Virginia Mountaineers or Duke Blue Devils. Remember that there is going to be someone on either Butler or Michigan State in all likelihood that really lights it up in the semifinals and moves on to the championship game. That’s why our pick is going to go against the grain. We’ll go with Michigan State’s G Durrell Summers to do the damage. Butler’s best defenders are all on the inside, so Summers may be able to pick apart this team from beyond the arc. He scored 21 points in the Elite 8 against the Volunteers, and has put together at least 19 in three straight games, which coincides with the injury to G Kalin Lucas. If Sparty can find a way to take care of the Bulldogs and end Cinderella’s season, Summers is probably going to be a favorite to cash this prop going into the final.

Selection: Durrell Summers 12/1 at BoDog Sportsbook. (100% Deposit Bonus by clicking This Link.)

Prop Bet #3: Will either Final Four game go into overtime?: Let’s be remotely realistic about this. We love overtime games, and you’re going to want to bank on this to happen at +300, but these just aren’t great odds. None of these teams have engaged in an overtime battle in the dance. Michigan State’s most recent overtime game came against Minnesota in the Big Ten Tournament, which was its only overtime duel of the year. Butler also has only played in one overtime duel this year. West Virginia needed an extra frame three times on the year, while Duke has yet to play one. If you do the math on all of that, these four teams have combined to play in overtime in just five of their 147 games, or 3.4%. Granted, these teams are significantly more evenly matched than they were with the mass majority of their opponents, and there’s a big curve that has to be given to this. But basically what you’re asking for if you’re betting yes is for one of these games to go to OT approximately 16.7% of the time. Even in the Final Four, that’s just not going to happen.

Selection: No -450 at BoDog Sportsbook. (100% Deposit Bonus by clicking This Link.)
