Which March Madness Underdog Could Sneak In Upset?

Have you filled out your bracket?

March Madness is here, and the craziness has already started with the opening game of the NCAA men’s tournament.

Alabama State stunned St. Francis with a miraculous Hail Mary in the final seconds to advance.

While FanDuel Sportsbook has Alabama State at +100000 odds to win the National Championship, NESN’s Travis Thomas picked a different underdog to win the title when discussing the best March Madness bets on the latest episode of “Boston Has Entered The Chat” podcast.

“I bet on it. I have Florida to win the whole thing,” Thomas told co-host Kasey Hudson. “I wish I had got it earlier in the season. The SEC is historically good this year. … I thought Auburn and Florida were the most complete teams and also just consistent, going wire to wire. They never fell off a cliff at any point during the season. They were just consistent. Florida just got hotter later.”

Have you filled out your bracket yet? Thomas and Hudson break down their best bets for the men’s and women’s tournaments and their Final Four picks.
