NCAA Tournament odds and predictions will dominate mainstream sports media leading up until Thursday’s Round of 64 games as analysts, bettors and bracket pool participants prepare for March Madness.
While most people will be focusing on their favorite predictions, like which teams will make Final Four runs, which have Cinderella potential and which favorites could see early exits, sharp bettors are already digging into NCAA Tournament odds to pick off any mispriced spreads and over/unders.
Action PRO’s betting tools are hard at work as well, pinpointing two NCAA Tournament predictions already attracting sharp action, including:
