The biggest game of the college basketball season tips off on Saturday, with the #1 Memphis Tigers taking on the #2 Tennessee Vols. However, neither of these teams are the odds-on favorite to win the 2008 NCAA Championship and neither team have been getting much love from the betting public the last few weeks, or not as much as a few others.
Despite a stumble here and there (notably that ugly loss to Washington as a 9-point favorite a couple of weeks ago) the #6 ranked UCLA Bruins are getting most of the attention from the players at SportsBetting.com . They currently sit as the 9-2 favorites to be crowned the champs. Also sitting at 9-2 and tied as the top favorite are the Kansas Jayhawks . Kansas is ranked #4 overall, but they are a close second to the Bruins in terms of the betting volume being wagered on the NCAA Championship future odds. North Carolina is in third spot (odds of 6-1) when it comes to betting volume, somewhat fitting as they are the third-ranked team in the nation.
The #1-ranked Tigers slot in as the fourth most popular team amongst bettors, with odds of 6-1, while Tennessee, the #2 ranked squad, fits in as the seventh most popular. Regardless of who bettors like to win it all when March Madness rolls around, the Memphis vs Tennessee match-up this weekend is a “can’t-miss” game.
