2021 NCAA Tournament Betting Odds
The 2021 NCAA Tournament betting odds were released on Thursday, the same day the 2020 NCAA Tournament was cancelled.
After much discussion and conversation among the NCAA leadership, March Madness was officially called off this week due to the coronavirus. The pandemic had caused similar suspensions of work among the NBA, NHL and MLS.
As a result, folks are now looking ahead to what next year may hold.
According to recently released odds, Virginia heads into 2021 as the favorite of winning next season’s NCAA Tournament. This should not come as much of a surprise.
Behind the efforts of guard Kihei Clark and forward Jay Huff, head coach Tony Bennett is going to have a solid little group.
Opening odds to win the 2021 NCAAB National Championship (Bovada):
Virginia +850
Gonzaga +900
Kansas +1000
Kentucky +1100
Creighton/Baylor +1200
Michigan St/Duke +1400
Florida St. +1800
Texas/Wisconsin/Florida/Louisville/SDSU +2500
Oregon +2800— Odds Shark (@OddsShark) March 12, 2020
If the Cavaliers don’t get the job done, Mark Few and Gonzaga have the second-best odds of emerging with an NCAA Championship.
Should Filip Petrusev and Corey Kispert progress as expected, the Bulldogs could be very formidable in 2021.
Other teams in the top five include Kansas, Kentucky, Creighton and Baylor.
