The NCAA Tournament is also known as March Madness. March Madness is alive and kicking, and the NCAAB betting lines have been released for all the teams. While today is a great day to wager on NCAA tournament’s, it’ll get much better when the NCAA tournament bracket is released. Let’s take an early look at the Top Betting Favorites to win March Madness!

Top March Madness Betting Favorites

Kansas Jayhawks

The first team we like is the Kansas Jayhawks. Bill Self and his Jayhawks are likely going to be the top overall seed in the tournament. Kansas has just four losses on the season, and have won 12 straight games. The Jayhawks also have won the Big 12, 12 straight times. Despite being the top overall seed in the tournament, Kansas is not the top betting favorite. The Kansas Jayhawks are listed second according to the Vegas lines. You can grab Kansas to win March Madness at +700.

Michigan State

Second on our list is the Michigan State Spartans. Tom Izzo and his team have a chance at being a top seed as well, as they finished second in the Big Ten standings. The Spartans are playing great basketball, with sensational offensive play, and extremely toughness. Coach Izzo has been there done that with this program, which makes it even harder to pick against the Spartans. You can grab the Michigan State Spartans at +550.

North Carolina

The North Carolina Tar Heels are one of the best offensive teams in all of the nation. If Roy Williams and his Tar Heels start to figure out the ways on the defensive side of the ball, they will be extremely dangerous. The Tar Heels won the regular season title of the Atlantic Coast Conference. North Carolina has a ton of momentum, following that road win at the Duke Blue Devils. The Tar Heels are tied with Kansas when it comes to betting to win March Madness. North Carolina is listed at +700.

Kentucky

The Kentucky Wildcats are next. The Wildcats, led by their head coach John Calipari are listed at +800. Kentucky was once again the SEC winner; this time splitting it with the Aggies of Texas A+M. Kentucky has a ton of talent, and many experts have been saying all season that Kentucky will get to the title game. The Wildcats scored 94 points in a recent win at home over LSU Tigers.

Oklahoma

The final Betting Favorite to win March Madness is the senior laden Oklahoma Sooners. The Sooners finished in third place in the Big 12 Conference, winning 12 out of 18 games. The Sooners head in the to Big 12 tournament with a 24-6 record overall. Buddy Hield is the senior leader for the Sooners, and is one of the best players in all of college basketball. Oklahoma relies a ton on their shooting, but if they make a ton of shots, they will be a very tough team to bet. The bet of the Oklahoma Sooners +900 is fifth on the list of Betting favorites to win March Madness!

There you have it. They are the top five betting favorites to win March Madness. There will be teams that are Cinderella stories, but this is a great season to stick with the big dogs.
