NCAA Tournament 2024: Sweet 16 odds, betting lines, spreads for every men's game
The NCAA Men's Tournament rolls into the Sweet 16, and the matchups have been decided following a weekend of nail-biters, upsets, and decisive victories, which reduced the field from 64 teams to just 16.
The top-seeded teams should not assume that they will have an easy path to victory from this point on. As we have seen in the past two rounds, the initial seeding of teams before the tournament is not a reliable indicator of their performance, as anything can happen once the game begins. The team that displays a winning mentality and backs it up with their actions will ultimately emerge victorious and advance to the Elite Eight.
Here are the current odds according to BetMGM for the remaining 16 teams and matchups as they vie for a bid into the Elite Eight.
