The 2024-25 college basketball season is approaching, and that means bettors are carefully considering college basketball futures they want to bet ahead of November.ย 

Naturally, the college basketball national championship odds are the most popular market. However, there are good reasons to consider other offerings in the wider range of available NCAAB lines.

The BetMGM online sportsbook also offers conference-specific NCAA basketball odds for many of the most popular Division I conferences.ย 

This is particularly helpful for bettors who want to specialize more narrowly in a conference theyโ€™re familiar with, rather than wading into the March Madness futures that can only be won by a single team.

For those interested, here are some predictions about who will win some of the most popular college basketball conferences, according to BetMGMโ€™s updated college basketball odds.ย
