Best Bets for the South Region

March Madness betting sites are offering many different types of bets on the South Region outside of just who will advance into the Final Four.

One way to find the best bets for the South Region is to use the KenPom rankings of each team.

Some of the bets that stand out are:

• Alabama to reach the National Championship (+350): ‘Bama ranks as the third best team in the country according to KenPom. For them to advance to the National Championship game, the highest-ranked team they would have to beat is Tennessee potentially in the Final Four.
• San Diego State to reach the Sweet 16 (+135): San Diego State over Charleston in the Round of 64 is the third biggest “lock” of the first round in the South Region when comparing ranking differences (San Diego State is 14 nationally, Charleston is 73). After that round, San Diego State would have to face the winner of Virginia (34) and Furman (89) for this plus money bet to pay off.
• Take Utah State to knock off Missouri (-120): Utah State as a ten seed is one of two teams that legal sports betting sites have pegged as a favorite despite being a worse seed than their opponent (West Virginia is a 2.5-point favorite over Maryland in the eight vs. nine matchup). Despite that somewhat flipped status as a favorite, sportsbooks may still not give Utah State the attention they deserve, as the team is ranked as the 18 best in the country according to KenPom. Compared to Mizzou’s 51 overall KenPom ranking, taking Utah State to either cover or on the moneyline is a strong bet.
