March Madness betting: Spartans, Flyers seek underdog wins in Round of 32

After there was only one upset in the Round of 64 on Friday, teams like Dayton and Michigan State eye upsets in Sunday's Round of 32 action.

The No. 7 Michigan State Spartans are 12-1 SU and 8-5 ATS in their last 13 appearances in the Round of 32. The Spartans figure to be a dangerous underdog this Sunday when they square off against the No. 2 Virginia Cavaliers at the NCAA Tournament.

Michigan State is a 5-point underdog on Sunday according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The Spartans have been the underdog in the Round of 32 five times since 1998 and are 4-1 SU and ATS over that stretch. Virginia is just 3-8-1 ATS over its last 12 games despite a 10-2 SU record in those 12 games.

No. 11 Dayton vs. No. 3 Oklahoma will be an interesting test for both teams. The Flyers were the only higher seed to advance into the Round of 32 on Friday, crushing Providence 66-53 as a 3-point underdog. Oklahoma defeated No. 14 Albany 69-60, failing to cover the 13-point spread and falling to 1-8 ATS over its last nine games.

Dayton won outright as a No. 11 seed against a No. 3 seed last year when it defeated Syracuse 55-53 as an 8.5-point underdog. This year, the Flyers are a 4.5-point underdog.

Arguably the best and most anticipated game on the board this Sunday is between No. 7 Wichita State and No. 2 Kansas. Both teams believe themselves to be the best team in Kansas and now one of them can earn bragging rights with a win in the NCAA Tournament.

The Jayhawks are 10-2 SU and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games in the Round of 32. Wichita State is a 1.5-point underdog on Sunday on the March Madness betting lines.

The No. 1 seeds will look to avoid upsets when No. 1 Duke (-9.5) takes on No. 8 San Diego State and No. 1 Wisconsin (-12) goes up against No. 8 Oregon. Duke is 13-1 SU in its last 14 trips to the Round of 32 but just 6-8 ATS over that stretch.

Rounding out Sunday's NCAA Tournament card is No. 4 Maryland vs. No. 5 West Virginia (PK), No. 4 Louisville (+2.5) vs. No. 5 Northern Iowa, and No. 2 Gonzaga (-6) vs. No. 7 Iowa.
