North Carolina Tar Heels March Madness odds: No. 1 team in the top 10 favorites for National Championship
Get the latest March Madness National Championship odds here, all the way through the game.
North Carolina may be one of four No. 1 seeds in the 2024 March Madness bracket, but they’re the sixth-best favorite in the bettor’s eye, currently with +2000 odds at FanDuel. This puts them not only behind other No. 1 seeds UConn, Houston, and Purdue, but also tucked behind Tennessee in the Midwest, and Arizona in their own West bracket.
Look out for the first couple of rounds, to see if the Huskies prove to sportsbooks that they deserved their seeding in the West.
Alabama Final Four, Auburn Final Four odds: Do locals have a chance to pay off in March Madness?
Both Auburn (+2000 at BetMGM bonus code ALBONUS) and Alabama (+4000 Caesars promo code LABONUS1000) have an outsider’s chance of winning the 2024 National Championship, although the odds reflect the tough bracket they were dealt, with the Tigers having to get through UConn and Iowa State in the East, and the Tide dealing with the Tar Heels and the Wildcats in the West.
March Madness has its key attribute in the title though, as it can become wild as we head toward the Final Four. That’s where both these teams have more interesting odds that could come into play, if you think they may not win it all but could make a deep run.
Auburn clocks in at a +425 to make the Final Four ahead of even North Carolina, turning a $10 wager into $52.50 back. If you believe in the Tide to make it to the Final four, you can snag a +850 best odds at DraftKings ($10 bet returns $95.00).
With the Huskies the proverbial team to beat in 2024, it’ll take a lot for one of these teams to break through for March Madness supremacy.
