Everyone is filling out brackets and waiting for the first round of the NCAA tournament to start on Thursday, but there are betting opportunities in the First Four games (aka the play-in games to get the field of 68 down to bracket-friendly 64). Here's a look at Tuesday night's games (both televised on TRU TV) in Dayton, Ohio, with No. 16 seeds Mount St. Mary's and New Orleans squaring off for the right to face East No. 1 and defending champion Villanova on Thursday; and a No. 11-seed game between Wake Forest and Kansas State, two of the last four at-large teams to make the NCAA field, vying for the right to take on No. 6 Cincinnati. Best bets are marked with an asterisk(*). Lines are from the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook as of Tuesday morning.
No. 11 Kansas State Wildcats (PK) vs. No. 11 Wake Forest Demon DeaconsWhen: 9:10 p.m. ET - Dayton, Ohio
Over/under: 152.5 Dave Tuley's take: This game is a pick-em, and it's easy to see why.
