Men’s 2026 March Madness odds: Duke, Michigan, Arizona among the championship favorites
The top of the odds board for the men’s college basketball national championship will feature several blue bloods as it heads into March Madness.
Duke is the favorite to win the NCAA tournament with +330 odds, followed closely by Michigan at +350. Arizona (+400) and Florida (+700) are the other 1-seeds, and Houston (10-1), Iowa State (15-1) and Illinois (19-1) round out the teams shorter than 20-1.
Purdue and UConn at 30-1 and 35-1, respectively, represent two of the teams receiving bigger money in the betting markets. The Boilermakers have the fifth-most handle at DraftKings and have also attracted a $100,000 wager to make the Final Four at BetMGM. The Huskies have garnered several large bets at both books, which both name them as large liabilities.
The bottom of the odds board features 14 teams at 200-1, largely comprised of the lowest seeds.
