The National Championship is finally here, featuring the two best teams in the NCAA Tournament in the Purdue Boilermakers and Connecticut Huskies.
UConn is trying to complete one of the most dominant tourney runs that we’ve ever seen, including several blowout wins as they try to win the title for the second year in a row.
In this article, you’ll read my best bet, longshot, and same game parlay for Purdue vs UConn.
With that in mind, let’s dive into our March Madness parlays for this National Championship game.

Purdue vs UConn Top Parlay (+115)
WAGER: 1 Unit • DraftKings Sportsbook
- UConn ML (-310)
- Zach Edey: Under 24.5 Points (-125)
The top parlay starts off with UConn on the moneyline because it’s hard to envision a scenario where they end up losing this game.
There’s a reason why the Huskies are relatively heavy favorites in this one. This team has steam-rolled the competition, winning by 14, 25, 30, 17, and 39 points so far.
The Huskies have held their opponents to 72 points or fewer in each of those games, including four matchups where teams failed to eclipse 60.

If UConn is able to win this game, there’s a good chance that they’ll be able to slow down Zach Edey, whose points prop is at a high bar of 24.5 when you consider that UConn ranks fourth on defense, per KenPom.
Look for the Huskies to win the National Championship behind another strong defensive effort, where they’re able to slow down Edey and company.
Purdue vs UConn Longshot Parlay (+330)
WAGER: 0.5 Units • DraftKings Sportsbook
- UConn -12.5 (+210)
- Tristen Newton: Over 5.5 Assists (-150)
The longshot parlay starts off with UConn to win by 13 or more points.
The reason why I’ve moved up the point spread from -7 to -12.5 is because the Huskies have proven themselves to be able to blow out their opponents.
UConn’s average margin of victory throughout this tournament has been 25 points, which is completely absurd when you consider their tough competition like Alabama and San Diego State.
I’ll add Tristen Newton to go Over 5.5 assists because the Huskies guard has averaged 7.2 assists per game in this tournament, including nine vs Alabama and 10 against Northwestern.
We’re getting a low bar at 5.5 when you consider that average. The Over is priced at (-150), which means that there’s a decent chance that this prop can move to 6.5, so make sure to act quickly here.
Purdue vs NC State Same Game Parlay (+350)
WAGER: 0.5 Units • DraftKings Sportsbook
- UConn Over 76.5 Points (-110)
- Purdue Under 69.5 Points (-115)
The Same Game Parlay includes UConn to go Over 76.5 points and Purdue to stay Under 69.5 points.
The Huskies have racked up 77 or more points in four of five games this tournament. UConn has also held opponents to 69 points or fewer in four of five matchups.
While Purdue has the number three offense per KenPom, it’s going to be tough for them to put up a lot of points against this elite Huskies defense.
Since I like UConn to win this game, it makes sense to bet on their Over along with Purdue’s Under.
