2011 March Madness Odds - March Madness Betting Lines
The chase to the NCAA 2011 March Madness Odds betting tournament is on, and if you ask Vegas there is one team that stands above the rest as the favorites for this year's tournament. The reigning national champion Duke Blue Devils are projected to successfully defend their title and repeat with another sweep of both the ACC and the national championship, a road that begins in less than a month in Houston, Texas. Here is a quick look at some of the favorites to win this year's tournament.
The Favorites
Duke Blue Devils 4-1 March Madness Odds
The Blue Devils have looked absolutely dominant at times this season, with the type of up-tempo offense that made them so successful a year ago. Duke will likely have the ACC clinched by the end of this week, and the question now is whether or not they really do want that No. 1 seed. History hasn't been kind to the team's that have finished in the top spot in the country, which makes the Blue Devils an interesting online sports betting selection.
Kansas Jayhawks 4-1 2011 March Madness Lines
The Jayhawks still haven't caught the Longhorns for the Big 12 title, but that doesn't matter as much as a national championship would. The mood in Kansas is positive as a long season will wind down with two of their final three games on the road, before the action really begins to pick up. The Morris brothers have proved their merit all season for the Jayhawks, and will once again be relied on once the tournament opens.
The Solid Bets
Texas Longhorns 6-1
The Longhorns looked like a solid bet to sweep the Big 12 with their final five games against unranked opponents, but that just wasn't the case for Texas this pay per head season. Still, Jordan Hamilton and Tristan Thompson give the Longhorns one of the most dangerous tandems in the country, and if they can coast the rest of the way in conference play they should be rested and ready for a long run in the national title tournament.
Pittsburgh Panthers 12-1 March Madness Betting Lines
The Panthers have let their guard down a bit in a couple of close losses this season, including last week's defeat at the hands of the St. John's Red Storm, but this is still a team that can get the job done. Ashton Gibbs is among the most lethal scorers in the country, and this team is built to compliment him perfectly.
The Dark Horse
St. John's Red Storm 75-1 2011 March Madness Odds
The Red Storm have been an absolute threat this year, and finally were recognized for it when they cracked the top-25 this sports betting bonus week. St. John's already holds notable wins over the defending champion Duke, Pittsburgh, Connecticut, Notre Dame, and Georgetown, and have the potential to take their game to another level every team they hit the hard court. Whatever team they draw in the first couple of rounds will be sweating as soon as they are tabled
