The Favorites
It is easy to see why Gonzaga (+450), Kentucky (+800) and Arizona (+850) are among the favorites to win the championship. All of those teams are playing incredible basketball and have the talent to cut down the nets. But several other teams like Auburn (+1000), Duke (+1400), and Kansas (+1600) offer incredible value if you are going to bet on the Men’s NCAA Tournament. But if you are looking for a surprise team, we got one for you.
Surprise Contender
There are several teams that may surprise and this includes Baylor (+1800) and Texas (+4000) but the surprise team to watch is the Houston Cougars (+4000). The Cougars are the best team in the American Athletic Conference and will be able to go deep in the tournament. The problem is the AAC is weak and they are not getting any love from the college basketball rankings. Kelvin Sampson has this team playing hard and with incredible odds, this team is a surprise contender for the title.
