Men’s College Basketball Futures Betting Odds for the 2022-23 Season

It’s almost time for college hoops season. Who stands the best chance to cut down the nets in early April? Let’s take a look at this year’s college basketball futures odds.

It seems like just a few days ago that the confetti flew in New Orleans for Kansas as the Jayhawks celebrated winning the 2022 NCAA men’s basketball national championship.

Yet somehow, we’re just days away from the tip-off of the 2022-23 season.

The Jayhawks should be strong again this year, but Vegas isn’t listing Bill Self’s crew as favorites to repeat. In fact, our friends at FanDuel have Kansas as the seventh-most-likely team to celebrate at this year’s Final Four in Houston. To find the favorites, look to the Pacific Northwest, where Mark Few’s Gonzaga Bulldogs return national player of the year candidate Drew Timme to lead a loaded roster.

Who are the Zags’ top challengers this season? Boardroom looks at the men’s college basketball futures odds for the 2022-23 season below, taking you through picks to win the whole thing, make the Final Four, and win each major conference.
