Baylor vs Norfolk State Prediction | March Madness Picks and Bracketology

The reigning champs are a one-seed yet again, but they’ll have to overcome key injuries to be the first back-to-back champs since Florida. It’ll be a challenge to accomplish that feat, but the Bears shouldn’t face much of a challenge in this first game.

Norfolk State was clearly the best the MEAC had to offer, but they didn’t have much to offer. Their numbers are irrelevant due to the teams they faced, but congratulations on any extra money your school will make from this tournament game.

Baylor will obviously win, and I think they will cover, though I don’t want to bet a point spread that large. Instead, we’ll bet the Bears’ trend in March continues. Look for them to push for 80 points in this game, while Norfolk gets plenty of second-half points as well.

Our college basketball betting Baylor vs Norfolk State prediction tonight will be the point total going OVER at BetUS. 

For what it’s worth, the ESPN Matchup Predictor gives Baylor a 96.3% chance to win.
