College Hoops Champion Futures

Checking out the odds and it looks like now is the time to play.

My opinion says the favorites will not win the title so lets figure out the best long shots.

Favorites:

Kentucky +260
North Carolina +475
Ohio State +475
Duke +525
Syracuse +700

I would take Ohio State, if forced, but I really dont like any of these 5 to win it.

Kansas +1200
Baylor +1700
Missouri +2500
UCONN +2500 (this has to be a joke)
Louisville +2825 (another joke)
Michigan State +3500
Wisconsin +3550 (kidding right)
Xavier +3550 (these thugs, no)
Florida +3750
Georgetown +4000

FIELD (betislands) +2500 (no small conf juggernauts this year)

forced to pick from this group, i would take baylor or missouri, but i really dont see it happening.

everyone else listed. at betislands, is +5000 or higher.

so im thinking this group of teams has a damn good chance to hit a payday.
my suggestions:

Alabama +10000 (very strong defense, needs to find some 3's though)
Florida State +10000 (maybe best defense and already showed they can beat UNC and DUKE)
Michigan +6250 (loads of talent, i can easily see a 6 game win streak, they need the right matchups though)
Vanderbilt +6750 (3 NBA players)
UNLV +5250 (loads of talent, again the right matchups could easily get them to the sweet 16 and then anything can happen the way the can score)

What do you guys think?

like last year with uconn look for long odds on big talent

mich st might be worth a flier

[TO9]

I recently locked in Vandy, Florida, Alabama, and Florida State..

I like Mich State as well..

A handicapper I respect thinks the title comes from SEC this year... That's why I have 3 SEC teams

Like Florida too. Any of the three big XII teams are not good choices in my opinion. Kansas is always likely to choke 2nd or 3rd round and Baylor has a subpar coach.

I think UNLV is worth a shot at those odd.

[BIGDAY]

I picked up OhioSt earlier this year at +800.

I figured decent value.

[BIGDAY]

I like Michigan for a long shot. BigTen is due.

[jeffdane]

I just got some Vandy.

If and when they beat Florida tomorrow and a couple other pretenders lose the odds will not be this good come Monday.

Good luck on your futures dudes
