NCAA Basketball: 5 best value bets to make 2021-22 Final Four weekend
By Ian Mumm
It’s never too early to start thinking about who will win the 2021-22 NCAA Basketball season. It’s also likely many fans of the game could rattle off numerous contenders they think have the best chance to do so. Now expand that list to “Who will make the Final Four?” and the answers you receive will begin to change rather quickly. Being able to find the “Cinderella” team or even one many give little chance to is what makes this sport so fun.
Since the 2010 NCAA Tournament took place, a team higher than a 4-seed has made the Final Four in every season except one (2012). This statistic confirms the “madness” we’ve all come to know and love watching 350+ collegiate teams dueling it out all season only to battle in a single-elimination tournament. UCLA, an 11-seed and a play-in round participant is the latest program to have reached the Final Four under these circumstances and as a result, are considered heavy favorites to reach this step again In 2022.
However, being able to identify teams capable of reaching that step of the tournament before the season begins increases your chances of a big payday. WynnBET, the official betting affiliate of Busting Brackets, released preseason odds for teams to make the 2022 Final Four. After scouring the list, I have identified five teams with good value capable of making a run this year and adding some money to your wallet.
