We're halfway through the First Round of March Madness, which is a perfect time to look at the updated odds to win the NCAA Tournament and to make the Final Four.
In addition to the posted 2024 March Madness futures via FanDuel Sportsbook below, we have also shared the projected odds to win the tournament and make the Final Four courtesy of our director of predictive analytics, Sean Koerner.
And if you're looking to make any futures bets ahead of Friday's second round, consider comparing Koerner's projected odds to the actual odds. If the available odds are longer (or "bigger") than Koerner's projections, then that team is undervalued relative to our predictions.
