2023 Final Four Odds, Lines: UConn, San Diego State Open as Favorites, Huskies Favored to Win NCAA Tournament
1 min read
The longest shot in the betting is FAU, while UConn, the top-seeded team, is the early favorite.
As we prepare for the penultimate weekend of the 2023 NCAA Tournament, the Final Four is set and the opening odds show a clear favorite to win in Houston, Texas, with UConn the -125 favorite. The Huskies, the highest-seeded team still standing, are the only team at minus odds in the futures market, pacing ahead of San Diego State, Miami and FAU.
The team with the second-best odds, San Diego State, is the highest-seeded team on the left side of the bracket at +390. The Final Four opponents of UConn and SDSU are Miami (+500) and FAU (+600), respectively.
That’s a stark departure from last year where all four teams could be had at plus-money, with Duke, led by Mike Krzyzewski in his final campaign as head coach, is the betting favorite at +150.
This idea is also reflected in the game-by-game odds, where UConn is a 5.5-point favorite over Miami while San Diego State is only a 2-point favorite over FAU.
For Saturday’s schedule, the complete betting board is listed below, along with the most recent championship odds from Caesars Sportsbook.
