Houston and South Carolina are currently favored to win the NCAA basketball tournaments

With the Super Bowl in the rearview mirror and the Kansas City Chiefs celebrating another title, it’s time to shift gears and focus on the next big event in sports: March Madness.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a casual viewer, it’s time to check in on the favorites to win both the men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments.

Houston is the favorite at BetMGM to take home the trophy this season at +600, but Purdue (+800) and Alabama (+900) are nipping on the Cougars’ heels. There are a handful of teams that have seemingly separated themselves from the pack this season, but no team looks untouchable.
