March Madness Odds - Top Five Darkhorses
US sportsbook odds for the NCAA Tournament are the hot play now that football season is done, and it would be too easy to bet on the likes of Kansas and Kentucky, the two odds-on favorites this year.
Here's a look at five teams that can bring you a decent reward, if you're willing to take the risk.
West Virginia (+2000) The Mountaineers have been ranked among the top teams all season, but to date, they've fallen in big games at Notre Dame and Purdue, as well as home games against Syracuse and Villanova.
West Virginia is talented enough with Da'Sean Butler and Devin Ebanks, but they need to raise their games for the big occasion, and they'll have a few more chances as they head to Pitt this weekend for round two of the "Backyard Brawl", followed by road games at UConn and Villanova and a visit from Georgetown down the stretch.
Purdue (+2500) The Boilermakers have won five in a row since a midseason three-game skid, and their defense gives them a great chance to reward some college basketball betting players.
Their trio of E'Twaun Moore, Robbie Hummel and JuJuan Johnson is as talented as any in the nation, and they've been bolstered by a big win at Michigan State on February 9th.
Outside of a road trip to Ohio State and a revenge visit from the Spartans, it should be smooth sailing into the Tournament for Purdue.
Georgetown (+2700) The Hoyas are an enigma who can thump Duke and Villanova, and then lose to South Florida, all in the same week.
Greg Monroe is starting to harness his talents in the post, and Austin Freeman, Jason Clark and Chris Wright keep the defenses honest, but the Hoyas need to be more consistent.
Syracuse and Notre Dame still have to come to the nation's capital, and the Hoyas will travel to Louisville and West Virginia.
Connecticut (+4000)US sportsbook reviews The Huskies went through a tough stretch without coach Jim Calhoun, who left the team with an undisclosed medical condition.
UConn doesn't have much depth, so if Stanley Robinson, Kemba Walker or Jerome Dyson gets hurt, the Huskies are in trouble.
There is still time to save the season as Calhoun in now back on the bench, and the Huskies will have to navigate road trips to Villanova, Notre Dame and South Florida, as well as a visit from Villanova.
Kansas State (+5500) The Wildcats have beaten Texas and pushed Kansas to overtime, and they've proven to be a very good road team as well.
Jacob Pullen is one of the country's most underrated guards, and the Wildcats rebound as a team, which will be a critical factor in March.
