National Title Odds AFI

The latest NCAA Tournament odds are out and betting lines were revealed for all Sweet 16 teams in March Madness.

There are plenty of favorites and one that stands above the rest. However, if you want some longshots, we have those for you too.

You can watch the tournament live on Prime Video, add on your favorite channels and watch at home or on your phone and laptop at work!

Let’s dive into the latest odds from Fan Duel and who has the best shot to win it all.

UConn (+220)

Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports

UConn has been the dominant force all season long and the Huskies kept it rolling through two rounds. Wins over Stetson and Northwestern were non competitive for the most part.

The next challenge is San Diego State, which was just in the Finals. Could this be the upset? Or will UConn roll again. The odds suggest the latter.

Houston (+550)

There were analysts out there that had the Cougars ripe for an upset in the first two rounds. Not this time. Houston dominated Longwood in the first round and edged Texas A&M in the Round of 32 in a shootout.

Now comes Duke. This is going to be quite the Sweet 16 game. A blue blood or one of the best teams all year? Who do you have? Vegas says Houston.

Purdue (+550)

Purdue has been notorious for losing early on despite a high seed. As a No. 1 seed this year, the Boilermakers left no doubt in the first two rounds, including a 106-67 win over Utah State in the second round.

Now they’ll take on Gonzaga which is a bit of an underdog this year. Usually, it’s Gonzaga falling short of expectations year to year, so this is a fascinating matchup.

Arizona (+850)

Gabriel Mayberry-USA TODAY Sports

Arizona cruised through the first two rounds and the Wildcats have been one of the better squads all year. Clemson awaits them in the Sweet 16 after the Tigers upset Baylor.

Arizona is one of the top tier contenders to win it all, but it could all be over this weekend. The odds are shorter than most, but not favorites like the previously mentioned teams.

Tennessee (+1,100)

Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports

Here’s one you can take a flier on if you’re looking to bet on a champion. Creighton, which has much longer odds, stands in the way of the Volunteers.

But if Tennessee wins, after edging out Texas, the Volunteers take on Purdue or Gonzaga. The path to the Final Four is there and then anything can happen.

North Carolina (+1,300)

Jim Dedmon-USA TODAY Sports

UNC takes on Alabama in the Sweet 16 in what should be an awesome game in this round. The Tar Heels dominated Wagner and then Michigan State in the first two rounds.

No close calls for this team, but this will be the biggest challenge. Plus, if the Tar Heels win, they’ll get a hot Clemson or Arizona in the Elite. Tough road.

Marquette (+1,600)

Robert Goddin-USA TODAY Sports

Can Marquette make a big time run? The odds suggest the Golden Eagles have a shot after getting by Western Kentucky and Colorado.

Underdog NC State, which has the longest odds of the group, want to keep their Cinderella story going. Marquette could very well win this game, but Houston or Duke would be next.

Iowa State (+2,000)

Steven Branscombe-USA TODAY Sports

Iowa State is the slight favorite over the current opponent: Illinois. This could very well be the best game of the Sweet 16 but the winner gets UConn or San Diego.

While the Cyclones have a shot, the odds suggest being in this part of the bracket is a brutal draw. But then again, it’s March.

Rest of March Madness contenders

Duke (+2,300)
Creighton (+2,300)
Gonzaga (+2,700)
Illinois (+3,200)
Alabama (+3,600)
San Diego State (+7,500)
Clemson (+8,500)
NC State (+12,000)

Of course, you could throw these odds out the window once we get through this round. Just wait. That’s why they call it March Madness.
