Handicapping 2022 College Basketball Futures Odds
The college basketball regular season is about a third of the way through, but alert bettors can still put in the work to find value in March Madness tournament odds. To no one’s surprise, Gonzaga remains the favorite to cut the nets down in March and claim the program’s first national championship, with some familiar faces in Duke, Purdue, Baylor, and Kansas nipping at their heels.
Here is a look at the top teams and odds as we continue on towards the 2022 March Madness tournament.
2022 College Basketball National Championship Future Odds: Gonzaga Bulldogs +600
Looking at the last few week’s of Gonzaga’s 2020-21 season is pretty disappointing, with the team’s hopes of an undefeated season coming to an end, and top talents Jalen Suggs and Corey Kispert departing for the pros.
On the bright side, the team was able to retain Drew Timme and Andrew Nembhard, along with just the second five-star recruit in the program’s history with Hunter Sallis joining Chet Holmgren. Timme and Holmgren have proven they can work alongside one another in the front court, and have been the
top two scorers for the Bulldogs. Unlike last season, they already have two losses, but those were both against top-25 opponents.
2022 College Basketball National Championship Future Odds: Duke Blue Devils +800
Through the month of November, Duke looked like the team to beat in college basketball, but they’ve struggled to re-find that level.
A long holiday and COVID-19 layoff certainly didn’t help get the team back on track, with a disappointing upset loss to Miami hopefully marking rock bottom for this squad.
2022 College Basketball National Championship Future Odds: Purdue Boilermakers +800
The Boilermakers are such an intriguing team, turning a squad loaded with freshmen into a No. 4 seed in last year’s tournament into a deep 2022 roster (with tournament experience) while centering around two of the best players in the country in Jaden Ivey and Trevion Williams. Their odds are falling as the country catches on, but the window to get behind the Boilermakers is closing, fast.
2022 College Basketball National Championship Future Odds: Baylor Bears +1000
The defending national champions may not be tops on the betting board, but they got to 15-0 before suffering their first loss of the season, and have James Akinjo playing at a level that will have him in the running for Big 12 Player of the Year.
Getting freshman forward Jeremy Sochan back to full health will be a top priority in the short term.
2022 College Basketball National Championship Future Odds: Kansas Jayhawks +1100
It’s been a trying season for Bill Self, who’s watched his team battle health and inconsistency through. However, the team only has two losses, having not fallen to an opponent since late November prior to an early January defeat at the hands of Texas Tech.
2022 College Basketball National Championship Future Odds: UCLA Bruins +1600
Anyone who watched Johnny Juzang in last year’s tournament doesn’t need additional incentive to back the Bruins.
But the experience is there on squad after their magical run to the Final Four a year ago, and they’ve definitely taken another step forward, particularly on the defensive end of the court with five-star freshman Peyton Watson and transfer Myles Johnson in the fold. An extensive layoff due to COVID-19 cancellations have injected some value back into Mick Cronin’s squad on the futures board.
2022 College Basketball National Championship Future Odds: Arizona Wildcats +2000
Victims of COVID-19 cancellations caused by opponents’ issues has seen a short schedule of games for Arizona recently.
When the team has been on the court, Johnny Davis has established himself as a contender for the
national player of the year honors.
2022 College Basketball National Championship Future Odds: Kentucky Wildcats +2200
Now may be a good time to get behind Kentucky. Injuries were largely a factor in their loss to LSU, and they may have captured some magic in a bottle trying TyTy Washington at the point.
2022 College Basketball National Championship Future Odds: Villanova Wildcats
It feels like Villanova’s finally finding its footing after an extended slow start to the season. It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen the Wildcats get hot at the right time under Jay Wright.
2022 College Basketball National Championship Future Odds: Alabama Crimson Tide +3000
This program may be fielding the most talented squad we’ve seen on the floor in Tuscaloosa in a long time, and they’re led by a trio of talented guards in Keon Ellis, Jahvon Quinerly, and Jaden Shackelford. Some recent losses have helped return some value to the team on the futures board, as will a tough upcoming slate that includes three teams ranked inside the top-12.
