With a total of 68 teams participating in 2016 NCAA Tournament, including a number of mid- major programs, the March Madness college basketball lines come with no shortage of options to bet on. As is tradition, the top-seeds have been favored to win their games by as many as 20-plus points, while the majority of the remaining teams are trading in the March Madness odds as single-digit favorites. Hell will probably freeze first before we hear of a first round upset of the top-seeded teams like Kansas and Virginia, so rather than waste our time discussing such obvious wins, our focus here will be on the dicey and potential big-payout matchups that will offer you the best odds of emerging victorious. That being said, here are our select winners for the first round of the 2016 March Madness.
