The brackets are set, several teams have been left at home and everyone is ready for March Madness. Spreads and odds for the First Four and first round of the NCAA Tournament were released on Sunday night shortly after the selection show.
Like every other NCAA Tournament, the first round features a handful of games with big spreads. Of course, two of the First Four games involve No. 16 seeds, so once those games are complete, the odds board will include even larger spreads.
And if you’re just hunting for the most likely upsets, check out our Bracket Breakers model which has pinpointed 10 possible problem-causers in the first round.
