Once it was announced that Cooper Flagg would return from the ankle injury he suffered in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament in time for March Madness, it was a foregone conclusion, not only that Duke would be a #1 seed, but also that they would be the heavy chalk to win it. Duke has the best Final Four odds of any team in the 2025 NCAA Tournament at -115. Only one other team (West #1 Florida) is shorter than even-money. Duke is also the outright favorite in the March Madness championship odds at +350.

Duke is the top team in all the polls and rates as the top team at KenPom, Haslametrics, and Torvik. And it’s not particularly close. At KenPom, Duke’s +38.16 rating is a full two points higher than #2 Florida (+36.16).

The East Region odds are chalky even after Duke. The top-four seeds are also the top-four favorites: #2 Alabama (+475), #3 Wisconsin (+900), and #4 Arizona (+950).

Odds to Win Midwest Region

TeamOdds
Houston (1)+155
Tennessee (2)+340
Gonzaga (8)+850
Kentucky (3)+850
Illinois (6)+850
Purdue (4)+1100
Clemson (5)+1400
UCLA (7)+2000
Georgia (9)+9500
Xavier (11)+10000
Utah State (10)+10000
Texas (11)+10000
McNeese (12)+10000
High Point (13)+25000
Troy (14)+25000
Wofford (15)+25000
SIUE (16)+25000

Odds as of March 16 at FanDuel.

The Midwest Region odds see Houston as a firm +155 favorite to advance to the Final Four. The Cougars rate third in Net Rating at KenPom and are coming off an absolutely dominant Big 12 season. They went 19-1 in conference play and won their three Big 12 Tournament games by eight or more points.

The second-seeded Tennessee Volunteers are the second-favorite at +340, but after that it gets interesting. The Gonzaga Bulldogs, the #8 seed which will meet Houston in the round of 32 if they beat #9 Georgia, is tied for the third-best odds at +850, alongside #3 Kentucky and #6 Illinois.

Gonzaga is on a run of nine straight Sweet 16 appearances, the longest active streak in the country. Only two teams in history have longer streaks, and neither of those took place exclusively in the 64-team era.

Odds to Win South Region

TeamOdds
Auburn (1)+110
Michigan State (2)+470
Iowa State (3)+500
Texas A&M (4)+1200
Louisville (8)+1700
Ole Miss (6)+2000
Michigan (5)+2200
Marquette (7)+2300
Creighton (8)+3200
North Carolina (11)+4500
UC San Diego (12)+5000
New Mexico (10)+6500
Yale (13)+17000
San Diego State (11)+24000
Lipscomb (14)+25000
Bryant (15)+25000
St Francis PA (16)+25000
Alabama State (16)+25000

Odds as of March 16 at FanDuel.

In the South Region, a somewhat-slumping #1 Auburn is the +110 favorite, well ahead of second-favorite #2 Michigan State at +470 and third-favorite #3 Iowa State.

Then there’s an even bigger drop to the rest of the field, starting with #4 Texas A&M at a long +1200.

Curiously, #11 North Carolina, who many think shouldn’t even be in the field and have to go through the First Four, are at +4500, ahead of #10 New Mexico (+6500) an #12 San Diego State (+500), and way ahead of the team they’re facing in the First Four: San Diego State (+24000).

The first-round March Madness odds show North Carolina favored by 3.5 points over the Aztecs in Tuesday’s First Four game in Dayton. The Tar Heels are -192 on the moneyline.

Odds to Win West Region

TeamOdds
Florida (1)-110
Texas Tech (3)+470
St John’s (2)+600
Maryland (4)+1000
Kansas (7)+1300
Missouri (6)+1400
UConn (8)+2600
Colorado State (12)+6500
Arkansas (10)+7500
Oklahoma (9)+8000
Memphis (5)+9000
Drake (11)+15000
Grand Canyon (13)+25000
UNCW (14)+25000
Omaha (15)+25000
Norfolk State (16)+25000

Odds as of March 16 at FanDuel.

The West Region contains the only other odds-on Final Four favorite, the red-hot Florida Gators, who just blitzed their three opponents in the SEC Tournament to grab the fourth and final #1 seed. The Gators are -110 to come out of the West, with second-favorite #3 Texas Tech well back at +470.

The #2 St John’s Red Storm are the third-favorite at +600.

The West is the one region where a double-digit seed is favored in its first round matchup; the #12 Colorado State Rams are favored by 3.5 over the #5 Memphis Tigers, and that shows in their respective Final Four odds. The Rams are +6500 to reach the Final Four, while the Tigers are +9000.
