Who Is Predicted to Win March Madness?

Millions of college basketball fans will fill out March Madness brackets at the end of this season, hunting for every last bit of research that could point them toward a correct national championship prediction.

Naturally, bracketology is all guesswork, and 10 different people might believe in 10 different teams. 

But when it comes to March Madness and college basketball odds, there is actually a pretty clear answer on who the favorite is to win the upcoming 2024-25 national championship.

Who Is Predicted to Win March Madness?

UConn and Kansas are the current cofavorites to win March Madness, at least according to BetMGM’s updated college basketball national championship odds. 

UConn has now won back-to-back national championships – the first team to do this in nearly 20 years. 

Kansas, which won the 2022 national championship, is a perennial contender with a John Wooden Award candidate in Hunter Dickinson. 

There’s still a lot of season between now and March, though, so don’t get too locked in on any one team. And pay attention to BetMGM’s NCAAB lines – they can feed you constant information on how the market feels about every possible NCAA Tournament competitor.

When it’s time to make your own March Madness predictions, few things are more helpful than the NCAA basketball odds market.
