March Madness title odds released for Sweet 16
By Bob Garcia
March Madness more than lived up to its name in the first two rounds, with No. 1 seeds Kansas and Purdue bowing out as well as No. 2 seeds Marquette and Arizona.
We are now down to the Sweet Sixteen with play resuming this Thursday. And that makes this the perfect time to revisit the title odds at the ACR Sportsbook. Note you can see the seed for each team below listed beside the odds.
Alabama (+360) is now the favorite to win the whole thing, with Houston (+400) right behind. Those two teams were flip-flopped in the odds before the tournament began, but the Crimson Tide now have a much easier path to the Final Four with the 2-to-4 seeds all eliminated in the South Region.
One team that has really jumped up in the odds is 6th-seed Creighton who is now at +1125. They were +4000 before the tourney began but impressed in their two wins over NC State and Baylor.

1. Alabama Crimson Tide (+360) – No. 1
