Looking into a few futures for the tournament. Had GB 6-1 & Denver 14-1 in NFL. Out of the list below what team or teams do you think have the best shot. Would start to hedge the deeper a team gets.
1. Unc 7-1
2. Sparty 8-1
3. Kansas 12-1
4. Wichita 22-1
5. Xavier 22-1
6. Oregon 25-1
7. Miami 40-1
8. Indiana 45-1
I really like Miami, Xavier as long shots but also like Kansas & UNC. Thoughts?

Miami has no chance to win it all brother. They will be lucky to make it out of the round of 32....

I dont see value in any of those futures.

Like Nova to win it all. What price you got on them. I am sure they are favored.

Miami is a good, experienced basketball team with solid guard play and can rebound. Don't sleep.

Nova will need a great draw just to make the Elite 8

Nova folds like a beach chair in March.

Like Oklahoma because Hield is better than anybody in the country. However, North Carolina is the most talented team and SHOULD win. Problem is Roy Williams is a retaard and the team has little heart.

I have Iowa at 66/1, now down to roughly 15/1. Also have Dayton at 200/1, now down to 50/1. Virginia aswell at 25/1 now down to 16/1.

Of all the teams you mentioned Indiana gives you the best value at 45/1. I think Michigan State will win it all but 8/1 isn't great value it is what it should be.

Xavier and Miami will not be winning it all.

The team right now that give you the best value to win it all imo is Texas at 33/1.

Size, Shooting, good guard play, battle tested and elite coach.

Obviously the odds may adjust and be lowered, that's a risk in itself, but waiting to see where the respective teams get placed will give you a better chance of netting a win assuming your taking more than one team. 
I pretty much have the same odds with UNC and even though they're not great, as someone mentioned they should win.

Phuck that man, you got some goof odds.

BOL

That would be great if your OR pick wins.  I'm sure you'd end up hedging at least $2k if they make the Finals

I am so glad when I read through these types of threads and I don't see anyone mention the team I took to win it all.

In a year in which everybody seems to agree there are no front runners and everybody thinks that will translate to crazy unpredictable tournament

You watch it will be 1 and 2 seeds in the final four
