March Madness 2023 Odds

From now until the NCAA Championship Game, Bovada has a variety of March Madness bets available. The early favorites to win the NCAA Division I men’s basketball season are Duke Blue Devils. Let’s take a look at the top three favorites to win the 2023 March Madness tournament.

1. Duke Blue Devils (+950)

The Duke Blue Devils are the favorites to win the NCAA Division I men’s basketball championship. After coming just short of reaching last year’s NCAA championship game after a defeat to seed 8 North Carolina Tar Heels in the Final Four. Duke will no doubt be looking to seek redemption and take the championship in 2023.

2. Kentucky Wildcats (+1000)

Coming in at close second, we have the Kentucky Wildcats with +1000 odds to win March Madness 2023. In 2022, seed 2 Kentucky suffered one of the biggest March Madness upsets ever. In the first round, they were defeated by seed 15 Saint Peter’s Peacocks by a score of 85-79. Such loss will be a huge motivational factor for Kentucky; they’ll definitely want to make a statement in the next tournament.

3. North Carolina Tar Heels (+1100)

Considering North Carolina Tar Heels were a No. 8 seed in 2022, coming in as the third March Madness 2023 favorite is a hefty jump. With that being said, North Carolina did reach the NCAA Championship game in 2022, however, they went on to lose to the Kansas Jayhawks at a score of 79-62. Perhaps they can go all this way this tournament.
