Throughout the college basketball season, the main college basketball futures market available to handicappers is the March Madness odds market – the outright market for which team will win the national championship. 

Now that the NCAA Tournament brackets have been revealed, BetMGM players have access to additional exotics. 

One of the most popular is the Sweet 16 market, where bettors can forecast which teams they think will advance to the second week of the NCAA Tournament. 

You can find the full table of tournament progression in the Futures tab of the college basketball page at BetMGM online sportsbook. 

For convenience, I have collated and organized just the Sweet 16 odds in the table below.
