2009 Big 10 Odds Sees Michigan State the Favorites; Xavier in A-10

The Las Vegas odds to win the Big Ten Conference men’s basketball tournament are out. Michigan State at +120 is the favorite. Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com commented, “At one time Tom Izzo was considered the best March Madness coach by bettors,” though he’s fallen back to earth in recent years. Izzo is the Spartans head coach.

Purdue is next at +250, followed by Illinois at +300, and Wisconsin +600.

Sports handicapper Bill Tanner, who is documented by the MasterLockLine as the all-time Big Ten expert, has predicted the Illini to come out on top.

The Atlantic 10 Conference begins play Wednesday as well and Xavier is the overwhelming favorites. Dayton is next at +225 with Rhode Island and Temple each at +350.

Stevie Vincent, Senior Handicapper at OffshoreInsiders.com says the Hawks of St. Joseph’s are his favorite dark horse of any conference tournament. “They are skidding at the wrong time, but talent wise they are much closer to the team that started out at 7-1 in conference play.”  The Hawks did annihilate Fordham to end the year and will get gain confidence with each win. “Watch them if they are not knocked out early,” insists Vincent.

2009 ACC Tournament Vegas Odds: North Carolina, Duke, and Wake Forest Top Favorites

The 2009 Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament Las Vegas odds are out and the North Carolina Tar Heels remain the favorites to win the ACC at +120.

Mike Mathews of BetOnSports360.com says, “The Tar Heels are still the best team in the country.” Their hated Tobacco Road rivals, the Duke Blue Devils are next at +600. Many sportsbooks are reporting sharp money coming in on Wake Forest which spent some time as the nation’s No. 1 team.

Cinderella Florida State is at +800 to take the glass slipper all the way to a basketball championship.

For those who like betting teams with plenty of motivation, Bob Warner of Lines-Maker.com says that Maryland and Miami Florida each at +3000 certainly qualify. “Both need to go deep into the ACC Tournament to qualify for an at large bid.

Warner says that the ACC will likely get six Big Dance bids. Meanwhile Boston College at +1200 is currently inside the bubble, but a one and done could prove fatal on Selection Sunday. Clemson at +1000 also could be leapfrogged by an early exit.

NC State, a team known for upsets in March Madness betting, is a major long shot at +5000.
