Selection Sunday is over, which means the teams are officially set up for NCAA Men’s Tournament. It’s the best time of year for many sports bettors — March Madness has arrived!
Alabama, Houston, Kansas And Purdue lead as the 4 No. 1 seeds this year.
Is this the season the Houston Cougars finally cut the grid in April? The Cougars have reached the Finals six times without winning, which is the most semi-finals for a team without a national title.

Alabama has had a disappointing football season (at least by ‘Bama’ standards). But Nate Oats’ Crimson Tide is a popular choice among bettors to be the last men standing and singing along to Luther Vandross’ “One Shining Moment.” They opened as the final No. 1 seed in the Big Dance.
Don’t overlook defending national champion Kansas when the Jayhawks spiraled out of control last season before winning their sixth national championship. This could be an even more talented team than last year’s team that won it all.
Purdue took the No. 1 seed with a 29-5 record and the Big Ten regular season and league championships. Is this the last year the team is successful? Big man Zach Edey Will definitely do everything in his power to make it happen.
And you can’t forget about Bulldog Gonzagasmall school from Spokane, Wash. This could finally be the year they won it all after having played in every NCAA tournament since 1999.
Let’s dive into all the opening odds.
Here are the consensus title odds for the teams that are still dancing:
Alabama Crimson Tide +300 (bet $10 to win $40)
Houston cougar +350 (bet 10$ to win 45$)
UConn Huskies +800 (bet 10$ to win 90$)
UCLA Bruins +900 (bet $10 to win $100)

* Odds as of 20/3/2023

Another team that made big strides on the odds charts during the season is four-time national champion UConn. The Huskies title odds are +8000 when this qualifying season ends. UConn is currently at +2200 to win them all.
In contrast, Gonzaga started the season with +900 to take it all after finishing second nationally in the 2021 and 2017 tournaments. Zags’ win percentage has dropped to +1400.
