It was another wild couple of days of action in the March Madness tournament, with the end result now being that we are down to the Sweet 16. We have a couple of days off to rest up before the next round begins, which gives us some time to review what has gone down and how the rest of the tournament might play out. The updated odds for the final 16 have yet to be announced at the time of writing, but given the previous odds, we can still figure out who the favorites are heading into the next round, so let’s take a look at the top dogs according to the latest college basketball championship odds to win the title.

Sweet 16 Bracket: Printable March Madness Bracket 2019
Duke Blue Devils
- 2019 College Basketball Championship Odds: +250
Duke came into the tournament as a huge favorite, but they very nearly stumbled at the second hurdle. They had an easy time of it against North Dakota State in their opener, but they were made to work for their win in the Round of 32, squeaking past UCF with a 77-76 win.
Duke will still be the favorites moving forward, but there are sure to be a lot of nervous folks out there who have betting slips with the Blue Devils on it to win the National Championship. Next up for Duke will be #4 Virginia Tech.
Gonzaga Bulldogs
- 2019 College Basketball Championship Odds: +500
Gonzaga came into March Madness as the #1 seed in the West Region, and when you look at how things have gone thus far, it’s fair to suggest that they were a worthy #1 pick.
They destroyed Fairleigh Dickinson 87-49 in the opening round, which is what you would expect from a top seed, but they also had a comfortable win in their second game, an 83-71 win over #9 Baylor. Their biggest test will be coming next, though, as they will be going against a #4 ranked Florida State team that has looked good through the opening two rounds.
Virginia Cavaliers
- 2019 College Basketball Championship Odds: +500
You never really know what might happen in the tournament, but if you are looking for a #1 seed with the easiest path, on paper at least, to the Elite 8, then you need to look at Virginia. After going out early last season, Virginia appears to have learned their lesson, getting through the opening two rounds without breaking too much of a sweat.

Their next game up will come against the Oregon Ducks, a #12 seed who stunned Wisconsin in the opening round before taking care of business against UC Irvine. Not an easy game for Virginia, but one that you would expect them to win.
North Carolina Tar Heels
- 2019 College Basketball Championship Odds: +700
Each of the four teams that started as the #1 seed in their respective regions is still alive as we head into the Sweet 16. North Carolina is the last of that bunch and they have had a very smooth ride through the Midwest in the opening two rounds.
In fact, they look like a team that is getting better with each passing game, as they were totally dominant in an 81-59 win over Washington in the last round. Their next game will come against the #5 Auburn Tigers, who looked good in the last round after barely surviving in round one.
