2025 NCAA Final Four Odds

College basketball is one of the most exhilarating sports out there, and a big reason for that is the NCAA Tournament or March Madness. The 64-team event is one of the best spectacles the American eye can see, and whether or not that is a stretch can be discussed on a different day. Winning a national championship remains the ultimate goal of every team, but before they get there, they must win their region and advance to the infamous Final Four.

Placing futures on a National Championship winner can undoubtedly be profitable, but with the unpredictability of college basketball, it can also be incredibly challenging. With that, bettors can also open their futures portfolio by placing bets on teams to make the Final Four, and down below, we'll break down the odds for some of the top teams in the country to reach those esteemed contests.

Odds to Reach the 2025 NCAA Tournament Final Four

*odds as of January 16, 2025

Current Favorites

Duke Blue Devils: The Blue Devils have had plenty of notable recruiting classes this year, but their current class may be their best since Zion Williamson's days. Duke brought in Cooper Flagg, the country's number one recruit, along with guys like Kon Knueppel and Khaman Maluach. Outside of the freshman, Duke has a few notable returners like Tyrese Proctor and transfer portal additions like Mason Gillis. That group started the year with a 15-2 record, including wins over Auburn, Arizona, and Louisville.

Auburn Tigers: If the season ended today, the Auburn Tigers would likely have the National Player of the Year on their roster in Johni Broome. Behind their experienced big man, the Tigers won the Maui Invitational and are currently the #1 team in the country in adjusted offensive efficiency on KenPom. While the SEC is certainly a gauntlet, the Tigers have a chance to be the best team that comes out of the conference. Even with Broome missing time with an ankle sprain, the Tigers are still winning games in dominant fashion.

Houston Cougars: Over the past few years, there has arguably been no better defensive team than the Houston Cougars. Regardless of roster turnover, the Cougars are almost guaranteed to be a nightmare matchup for opposing offenses. According to KenPom, the Cougars have the best adjusted defensive efficiency in the country up to this point, with 87 points allowed per 100 possessions.

Final Four Teams Over the Years

The influx of talent into college basketball has only gotten stronger over the past few years, but this season may take that to an entirely different level. With guys like Cooper Flagg, Ace Bailey, VJ Edgecombe, and more joining the college game alongside some of the already-established stars, deciding who the best player in the country is will be no easy task.

If college basketball fans want to attempt to make that determination during the season, they can always bet on the John Wooden Award winner. Below, we will update bettors on all odds changes for the award to help them determine the best price for different players and more.

2025 John Wooden Award Odds

Current Favorites for the John Wooden Award

Cooper Flagg (Duke): The last freshman to win this award just so happens to be another Duke star in, Zion Williamson. While Williamson was at Duke, the games became must-watch TV, and Flagg has a chance to make that the case again this season with his scoring and athletic ability. While the Blue Devils have a few veterans they will rely on, their offense will likely go as Flagg goes. As we enter the middle of January, Flagg is averaging 18.7 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, as he recently put up 42 points against Notre Dame.

Johni Broome (Auburn Tigers): The Auburn Tigers have the country's highest adjusted offensive efficiency rating on KenPom, and Johni Broome is the biggest reason for that. Through the first 16 games of the season, Broome is averaging 17.9 points and is 8th in the country in rebounding with 10.7 per game. While his numbers are more than solid, the Auburn big man has taken a big hit in the odds board for this award, as he is currently nursing an ankle sprain.

Kam Jones (Marquette): Kam Jones has only gotten better as the years have gone on, and so far in his senior year, that has remained the case. Through 17 games, Jones is averaging 19.6 points and 6.7 assists per game, as he is shooting an impressive 49.6% from the field.
