2024-25 College Basketball Betting Odds

The 2024-2025 college basketball season began in November of 2024 and will conclude in April of 2025 with the NCAA Basketball Championship game. The Men’s NCAA Basketball Championship Tournament will have 68 teams competing in a single-elimination tournament that begins on March 18, 2025 and concludes with the title game on April 7, 2025 in San Antonio, Texas. The Auburn Tigers and Duke Blue Devils are the top two favorites to win the title.  Auburn is ranked No. 1 in the latest AP Poll, while Duke is ranked No. 3. The Blue Devils are a popular team with the public, but haven’t won a title since 2015. The teams remain the same in this week’s college basketball futures odds but the order is different. Auburn is the top choice and they are followed by the Duke Blue Devils, Florida Gators, Houston Cougars, Alabama Crimson Tide, Tennessee Volunteers and Iowa State Cyclones. College basketball futures odds change on a weekly basis, so keep an eye on the rankings as the season progresses to see who the oddsmakers like to win the 2024-2025 college basketball title and keep in mind that you can bet on college basketball futures at any time during the season.

NCAA Basketball Championship Odds

*Odds as of Monday, February 17, 11:00 AM ET

Auburn Tigers

The Tigers proved to everyone last week that they are the top team in the country. Auburn went on the road and beat No. 2 Alabama, winning 94-85. The only two losses for Auburn this season are to Duke and Florida. Auburn boasts one of the top players in the country in Johni Broome. The Tigers face a possible letdown this week, but they do get to play at home, as they host Arkansas on Wednesday and Georgia on Saturday.

Duke Blue Devils

The Blue Devils didn’t do anything wrong last week, as they did what was expected, beating California and Stanford. Duke is still right with Auburn in terms of college basketball futures. Duke has their win over Auburn, but there is no question that Auburn has played the more difficult schedule. Duke has a couple of games this week that could be challenging, as they visit Virginia on Monday and host Illinois on Saturday.

Florida Gators

The Gators are starting to get some love in terms of college basketball futures odds and Florida is moving up in the polls, as they are ranked No. 2 this week. The Gators were humiliated a few weeks ago by Tennessee, losing 64-44 but they bounced back to beat Vanderbilt and Auburn and last week they had no trouble with Mississippi State and South Carolina. There are no easy weeks in the SEC and this week Florida hosts Oklahoma on Tuesday and they visit LSU on Saturday.

Houston Cougars

The Cougars continue to get support in college basketball futures odds and continue to win games. The Cougars beat Baylor at home last week and then they went on the road and beat a good Arizona team. That win was important for Houston to show they are a serious title contender. It won’t be easy for Houston this week, as they visit Arizona State on Tuesday and then host a ranked Iowa State team on Saturday.

Alabama Crimson Tide

The Crimson Tide couldn’t handle top-ranked Auburn last week, losing at home, but Alabama is still a team to reckon with. They have four losses on the season but they have played a difficult schedule. They have wins this season over Houston, North Carolina and Kentucky. As we said with Florida, there are no easy weeks in the SEC and this week the Crimson Tide will visit Missouri on Wednesday and host Kentucky on Saturday.

Tennessee Volunteers

Tennessee was ranked No. 1 for much of the early part of the season but they have been up and down in SEC play. The Vols have some good wins, including a 20-point victory against Florida, but they also have five losses on the season. Tennessee split their two games last week, losing to Kentucky but beating Vanderbilt. The Vols have a tough road game this week, as they visit Texas A&M on Saturday.

Iowa State Cyclones

The Cyclones finally played better last week, as they beat Central Florida and Cincinnati. How much credit they get for those wins is in question, but at least Iowa State played better. The Cyclones get another game they should win on Tuesday, as they host Colorado and then it is a huge game for Iowa State on Saturday as they visit Houston.
