2024 March Madness Teams to Bet On – The Top 3 March Madness Contenders to Bet On
UConn – The Connecticut Huskies are the top contender to win this year’s tournament at +500. Without a doubt, they are the best men’s college basketball team this season. Their main claim to stardom is that they have a great offense and of course being the defending champion.
However, it does not mean that they are a good basketball bet. Despite a 25-3 record, some might argue that the odds could be better as winning back-to-back titles is difficult. The last time it was done was when Florida won in 2006 and 2007.
Houston – The Houston Cougars are the second most favorite to win this year’s March Madness tournament at +700. Houston has a 25-3 record, top basketball power index, have the best defense and have a 32.7% chance of winning. However, for those who want to become a basketball bookie, these are the types of analytics to watch out for. This is because despite having these high stats for the last 3 season, they are still without a title.
Purdue – The Purdue Boilermakers are another strong contender to win the entire NCAA Men’s tournament this year. Sportsbooks have them at +700 while others +750 to win the tournament. Needless to say, we expect either Purdue, Houston and UConn to be the number one seed on Selection Sunday.
