(Photo Credit: IMAGN)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>South Region<\/h3>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>Top seed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/college-basketball\/auburn-tigers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Auburn<\/a> is a massive favorite to win the South Region, with a betting line of -140 for the Tigers. No. 2 seed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/michigan-state-spartans-basketball\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Michigan State<\/a> is at +500 to win the South. No. 3 seed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/college-basketball\/iowa-state-cyclones\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Iowa State<\/a> is running at +800 despite the injury to standout Keshon Gilbert.<\/p>\n<p>The team with better odds than its seeding is No. 8 seed Louisville. At +2200, Louisville has substantially better odds than the No. 7 seed Marquette (+2800) and slightly worse odds than the No. 5 seed Michigan (+1900).<\/p>\n<h3>West Region<\/h3>\n<p>The Florida Gators are a -125 favorite to claim the West Region. Interestingly, No. 3 seed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/college-basketball\/texas-tech-red-raiders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Texas Tech<\/a> (+550) has better odds than No. 2 seed St. John&#8217;s (+600). No. 4 seed Maryland (+750) is also getting good odds for a team in its seed line.<\/p>\n<p>No. 7 seed Kansas (+1800) and No. 8 seed UConn (+2000) each have better odds than No. 5 seed Memphis (+5500) or No. 6 seed Missouri (+2200). Memphis is certainly getting some betting line disrespect.<\/p>\n<h3>East Region<\/h3>\n<p>Top-seeded Duke is a -120 favorite even with Cooper Flagg&#8217;s injury. No. 2 seed Alabama is a +450 pick to win the East. No. 6 seed BYU (+1500) and No. 7 seed St. Mary&#8217;s (+1800) both have better odds than No. 5 seed Oregon (+2200).<\/p>\n<p>Both No. 3 seed Wisconsin (+850) and No. 4 seed Arizona (+950) are long shots to emerge with the East Region crown.<\/p>\n<h3>Midwest Region<\/h3>\n<p>Top seed Houston (+105) has the worst odds of any of the No. 1 seeds. Correspondingly, No. 2 seed Tennessee (+390) is getting the best odds of any of the No. 2 seeds to win the region. Bizarrely, No. 8 seed Gonzaga (+950) is getting the third-best odds of any team in the Midwest. That&#8217;s certainly far ahead of No. 7 seed UCLA (+2800).<\/p>\n<p>No. 3 seed Kentucky (+1000) and No. 4 seed Purdue (+1300) have slightly longer odds than usual. No. 12 seed McNeese State (+9000) is getting surprisingly decent odds compared to the other high seeds of the region.<\/p>\n<p><em>What do you think about the betting odds on the various Final Four contenders?
