WATCH: Caesars Handicapper's March Madness Odds, Bracket Busters

On Gambling.com’s “The Edge,” Patrick Berbert, college basketball trader at Caesars Sportsbook, discusses the betting odds on this season’s men’s March Madness basketball tournament.
The NCAA title game is April 6 in Indianapolis. (See schedule below.)
“Right now the top is kind of separated itself from the pack with these top four: Duke, we're at plus 295. Michigan, we're at plus 360. Arizona, we're at four to one. And then to round out the top four, we're at Florida plus 650,” Berbert says on “The Edge.”
Also during the video interview, Berbert explains the reasoning behind those top four picks.
In addition, Berbert gives insight into other teams that have a chance to make the Final Four—or at least wreak havoc as bracket busters.
