Today's picks: Why the NCAA championship game will go Over , plus more college basketball and soccer for Monday, April 4

Allan Bell is joined by expert sports bettors Mike McClure, Zack Cimini, Chip Patterson and Larry Hartstein on The Early Edge podcast. They give you their best bets for college basketball and soccer for Monday, April 4.

Bell starts things off with the SportsLine Play of the Day, which is in soccer: AC Milan keeps a clean sheet against Bologna (-109) in their Serie A match (2:45 p.m. ET). "Bologna has been struggling on offense," Allan says. "It has failed to score a goal in its last three league games - 270 minutes of scoreless soccer. We expect that to continue today."

McClure follows with a double-result play in college basketball. He likes Kansas to be ahead at halftime and at the final buzzer (+100) against North Carolina in the 2022 NCAA Tournament championship game (9:20 p.m. ET). "Kansas does start really well in some of these spots," Mike says. "It takes Carolina a little bit of time to make some adjustments. We're also playing on the fact that (Armando) Bacot may actually be injured."

Cimini is up next with a prop bet in the championship game. He likes Over 5.5 points for Kansas' Dajuan Harris Jr. "He's coming off tying a season high in 3-pointers made in that last outing against Villanova, where he made three," Zack says. "If it gets down to it, if Kansas has that small lead and UNC needs to foul, who are they going to foul? Probably the one that shoots the free throws the best from Kansas, which is Harris. He shoots 80 percent."

Patterson jumps in with a pair of prop bets in the Kansas-UNC contest. The first is Over 14.5 points for North Carolina's R.J. Davis. "When things get tight, when North Carolina is playing its best opponents, R.J. Davis has the ball in his hands," he says. "The offense runs through him and he attacks the basket, he gets to the free-throw line, where he's an 83 percent free-throw shooter."

Chip's second play is Over 73.5 points for North Carolina. "I feel pretty good that this game's going to go Over, but the one side that I know will be able to put the ball in the bucket - I think that's going to be the North Carolina Tar Heels," he says.

Hartstein wraps things up with two plays in the NCAA Tournament. The first is Over 152 in the Jayhawks-Tar Heels contest. "This will not be a low possession game," he says. "Whenever Carolina gets against a team that will run with them, like Duke, we've seen this go Over the total. (The record is) 17-8-1 to the Over for the Tar Heels. And Kansas, with the efficiency they're playing with, I really like this game Over the total."

Larry's second play is Over 12.5 points for Kansas' Christian Braun (+105). "Leaky Black is going to be on (Ochai) Agbaji," he says. "Leaky Black is (UNC's) best defender. Braun is not going to see him at all. This guy shoots 39 percent from beyond the arc, he averaged over 14 points in the regular season, he's had a few games right around this number."
