March Madness: 5 first round upsets oddsmakers expect in the men's bracket
The NCAA tournament selection committee may try to seed the field of 68 by strength, but all the focus on overall resumes, can sometimes obscure some more noteworthy issues like team health, recent play and overall development.
That’s where it can be helpful to get an oddsmakers’ view of the bracket - especially when you’re filling out your bracket and looking for those obvious upsets.
Despite their seeding, bookmakers have already circled five first round matchups on the men’s side where the lower-ranked team is actually the favorite. Don’t be surprised if these upsets happen. Las Vegas certainly won’t.
