March Madness is just around the corner and Vegas is preparing as usual. Two years ago I hit the Uconn Huskies in late February and won a hefty payout. Last year I fell short with Louisville at 40-1 odds. I’m taking a different approach to this tournament.

With zero clear cut teams, it’s going to be a tourney full of surprises. Why not root for teams to reach the sweet sixteen, elite eight, or final four? Each team that makes the tournament gets odds on reaching a certain round.

Look for your team on Wynn’s updated odds sheet. I will have a column out shortly before conference tournaments. Below I have starred three teams that I like to reach the sweet sixteen that should have favorable odds. Syracuse I like to reach the elite eight, and currently I like Michigan State to win the tournament. Izzo is a tournament coach, that has the talent to complement his coaching this year.
