We could be in store for an all-time NCAA Championship matchup tonight at 8:50 p.m. ET (CBS) when the Florida Gators face the Houston Cougars in the March Madness finale. But what if it's a blowout?

After all, three of the last four title games have been decided by at least 15 points - and the fourth featured a historic 16-point comeback by Kansas to beat North Carolina in 2022. So why not profit off another potential blowout with a lucrative same-game parlay (SGP) at FanDuel ahead of the national championship tonight?

🚀 Best predictions & parlay picks for Florida blowout vs. Houston tonight

Our NEW college basketball player prop odds tool can help you find the best odds for any March Madness market across legal sportsbooks in your area!

✅ Florida -9.5 (+330)

This is the anchor leg for this SGP, both in terms of premise - this is a blowout parlay, after all - and boosting the overall odds and potential profit for our NCAA Championship bet.

The Gators have needed all 40 minutes to outlast their last two opponents, but they boast the nation's second-longest win streak (11 games) with an average scoring margin of 13.2 points. That streak includes five double-digit wins over top-25 teams, per KenPom.

If Florida can control the tempo tonight against a notoriously slow Houston squad, the Gators could push this margin into double figures before the final buzzer.

✅ Walter Clayton 25+ points (+265)

What more is there to say about Florida's star scorer at this point? Clayton dropped 30 points in the Elite Eight and 34 points in the Final Four to carry the Gators to the title game - joining Larry Bird as the only players in the last 50 years to score 30-plus in both rounds.

He'll face a tough test tonight against Houston's top-ranked defense, but as I broke down with my best Walter Clayton Jr. player props, Florida's star guard excels at shooting it from deep and getting to the free-throw line. Those are two potential issues for an otherwise stellar Cougars defense that Clayton could exploit in the NCAA Championship.

✅ Thomas Haugh 8+ rebounds (+186)

Haugh isn't the biggest player on this Florida roster, but the 6-9 forward has been the Gators' best rebounder in the tournament (7.4 RPG) and earned nearly 70% of his team's minutes at power forward. He's responded with at least seven rebounds in four straight games, including 11 boards in the Elite Eight against Texas Tech.

He should be able to take advantage of an undersized Houston frontcourt tonight and pad those rebounding numbers even further. And if Florida wins by double digits, I'd expect the Cougars to be missing shots - creating even more opportunities for Haugh on the glass.
