Do Futures Have Value During Match Madness?
Yes, futures are typically less efficient than sides and totals, which means they can offer value for bettors. The issue for some bettors is having money tied up for more extended periods of time, but this isn’t a big deal when it comes to the tournament. At most, you’re waiting for about a month.

There are a lot of options, as well. Futures can be wagered on not only which team will win the National Title, but make the Sweet 16, Elite 8, and so on.

Who Is Your Favorite Under The Radar Final Four Team?
Though they have been through a rough stretch lately - I still like Penn State as a Final Four team that no one is mentioning. The Nittany Lions are a lock to make the tournament for the first time since 2011.

They won’t be a No. 2 or 3 seed, but should still get a No. 5 or 6 seed. The Big Ten tournament will be a nice warm-up for a team that is still underrated nationally. Penn State is a gritty team, and I think they make some noise in the tournament.

Can We Trust San Diego State In The NCAA Tournament?
Well, there is no doubting how good they have been this regular season. The school only has one loss to UNLV, but they have been tested quite a bit. One loss is one loss, but plenty of their games have come down to the wire against weak competition.

Simply put, we don’t know how good San Diego State is against elite-level talent. Right now, they’re +2400 to win the National Title. I would say that is a fade for me, as we haven’t seen that face any elite teams in the regular season.

Who Will Win The National Title?
For me, it’s the Kansas Jayhawks. They’re +500 or so at most online sportsbooks to win it all. They have a fantastic duo of Dotson and Azubuike and pass the advanced stats test, as well. Their numbers in KenPom look great.

They deserved to be favored to win it all due to their tough in-conference schedule and strength of their non-conference schedule, as well.

What Is Your Favorite Betting Market For March Madness?
I love second half (2H) wagering. Spotting value here can be a lot easier as oddsmakers have to work quickly to put out odds. We can also use what we already know from the team’s performance’s throughout the season and their first-half performance. They’re my favorite bet to attack during March Madness.
