Eight teams will punch their tickets to the Sweet 16 Saturday when they play in the 2019 NCAA Tournament Round of 32. A few of the games are considered to be near toss-ups, though the highest seeds on the schedule are heavy favorites.

After No.1 Gonzaga defeated No.16 Fairleigh Dickinson by 38 points in their March Madness opener, the Bulldogs are laying 13 points against No.9 Baylor. No.2 Michigan State struggled to beat No.15 Bradley, but the betting line for their contest with Big Ten rival No.10 Minnesota is 10 points.

No.2 Kentucky is only a five-point favorite over No.7 Wofford. Wildcats’ leading-scorer PJ Washington is expected to miss his second straight game with a foot injury.

No.5 Auburn is the only team that’s favored over an opponent that has a better seed. It’s also in the contest with the smallest point spread.
