This is the first time Dayton has been dancing in the NCAA Tournament since 2017, and the Flyers have been looking for their first win in the tournament since 2015.
The Wolf Pack are looking for their first NCAA Tournament win since 2018, when they made it to the Sweet Sixteen before falling to Sister Jean and Loyola-Chicago.
Let’s dive into this #7 vs. #10 matchup from the West Region and the best ways to use March Madness Round 1 promos to bet on this game.
📈 Dayton vs. Nevada Odds
Dayton-Nevada lines are current as of Thursday at noon ET and were found at BetMGM Sportsbook.
- Moneyline: Nevada (-120), Dayton (+100)
- Spread: Nevada -1.5 (-105), Dayton +1.5 (-115)
- Total Points: Over 136.5 (-110), Under 136.5 (-110)
Nevada, another lower seed in the West region, is favored to win its opening-round game along with New Mexico. After the committee ‘slighted’ the Mountain West Conference, it seems the sportsbooks value them appropriately.
As the spread suggests, this is going to be a very close game, and I like Nevada to advance after playing tougher competition all year long.
🔮 Dayton vs. Nevada Prediction
Nevada 61, Dayton 58
This will be a back-and-forth affair and will likely come down to the game’s final minutes. Nevada tallied some quality wins in an undervalued Mountain West Conference and had seven straight wins before falling to Colorado State in the conference tournament quarterfinals.
Since 2008, a #10 seed has won at least one game in the NCAA tournament, and 23 times since 2009. Nevada will be a popular pick to advance in the bracket.
✅ Dayton vs. Nevada Best Bet
Under 136.5 (-110) • BetMGM Sportsbook
This game is going to be won in the half-court and inside the three-point line. Nevada only attempts 18.2 three-pointers a game, which is 312th in the nation. Dayton isn’t far off from that, averaging only 23.7 three-pointers per game, which is 97th in the nation.
The pace of play is also going to be very slow as Nevada is 275th in pace of play this year, and Dayton is 347th. This will be a grind-it-out type of low-scoring game.
💰 Dayton vs. Nevada Betting Promos
BetMGM Dayton-Nevada March Madness Promo
The self-proclaimed “King of Sportsbooks” offers a Bet & Get Promo for the NCAA Tournament, which gives new users $150 in bonus bets whether their first wager wins or loses. To qualify for the bonus bets, you must use the promo code LWOS when signing up and deposit a minimum of $10. Your first bet must also be at least $5.
I already prefer the under on the game total in this contest, so I’m going to double dip and take the first half under for this promo. The first half under is set at 64 points, and combined, the two teams averaged 69 points this season.
Dayton was 154th in the nation in first-half scoring, averaging only 34.5 points. In the first 20 games of last year’s tournament, the under in the first half went 15-4-1.
bet365 Dayton-Nevada March Madness Promo
The bet365 promotion offers two choices. Their first choice is the same as the BetMGM promo, where they reward you with $150 in bonus bets whether you win or lose your first wager. The second option will return your original stake up to $ 1,000 if you lose your first bet.
Be sure to use the promo code LWOS to activate one of the two options.
The first promo option from bet365 is similar to the BetMGM promo offer, so I would like to go safer with my bet in this instance. Take the under on the Dayton team total of 67.5 at -110 for this promo. They play at a snail’s pace, and Nevada is one of the better defensive teams in the tournament.
If you select the second offer, the March Madness Betting Guide offers multiple ways to bet on this game.
