I'd need better odds on any team if I were inclined to make an early bet. Having said that, Syracuse and Duke look relatively undervalued. I'd consider Ohio State in the 10+/1 range.
+1.
I don't bet. At all.
But if I did, I would'nt bet on anybody whose odds were shorter than maybe 9-1 or 10-1.
I wonder what the odds are for San Diego State? They could beat anybody at any time. Their odds are probably 30-1 or something like that. Might be a good place to put your money. Duke wouldn't be a bad bet right now either, at 12-1.
