Odds to win the 2023 national championship in March Madness

UConn Huskies (-125)

UConn Huskies wing Jordan Hawkins

The UConn Huskies will be the favorites to take home the national championship. But first, they will have a tough matchup on Saturday against the Miami Hurricanes. The game is set to take place at 8:49 p.m. ET on CBS.

UConn has been one of the country's most impressive teams throughout the season. Despite earning a No. 4 seed, UConn had the depth to make a lengthy run in the tournament. It is led by sharpshooting wing Jordan Hawkins.

A projected lottery pick for the 2023 NBA draft, Hawkins is one of the best movement shooters in the country. He's averaging 16.3 points and 3.8 rebounds per game while shooting 38.5% from 3-point range. UConn also has another projected 2023 draft pick in athletic forward Andre Jackson Jr.

A jack-of-all-trade presence on the court, Jackson has the ability to impact the game in a variety of ways and will be a wild card against the Hurricanes.

San Diego State Aztecs (+375)

San Diego State guard Matt Bradley

One of the top teams in the entire March Madness 2023 has been the San Diego State Aztecs. As of now, the Aztecs find themselves +375 to take home the national championship.

The Aztecs are one of the country's most impressive defensive teams. It's a reason why they have found themselves in the Final Four. San Diego State has sufficated its opponents with its relentless effort on the defensive side of the ball.

The Aztecs will take on the red-hot Florida Atlantic Owls on Saturday. The Aztecs are led by senior guard Matt Bradley. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound combo guard is a physical ball handler and is averaging 12.5 ppg and 3.8 rpg while shooting 37.2% from 3-point range.

Miami Hurricanes (+475)

Miami Hurricanes look to upset UConn in March Madness 2023.

The Miami Hurricanes are one of the most dangerous teams remaining in the Final Four. They find themselves as +475 to take home the national championship. Those odds are based on the fact that the betting public likely sees the Hurricanes as underdogs going up against a stacked UConn Huskies team.

Miami has one of the most fascinating starting lineups in the tournament. The Hurricanes have a number of talented guards who know how to play well and have an athletic rebounding presence in the paint.

Keep an eye on junior guard Isaiah Wong and sophomore guard Nijel Pack. Wong is a name that is expected to enter the 2023 NBA draft after another impressive season. He's a physical guard who knows how to get to his spots and can take over a game with his offensive production.

Pack has been extremely impressive in the tournament, offering the ability to hurt defenses from deep with his outside shooting. Jordan Miller will also be another name to watch out for as he's coming off an impressive showing against Houston.

Florida Atlantic Owls (+650)

Florida Atlantic Owls look to continue their impressive run in March Madness 2023.

The Florida Atlantic Owls will look to continue defying the odds as the Cinderella team of March Madness 2023. The team has been impressive throughout its underdog run and finds itself at +650 to win the national championship.

The Owls will be tested Saturday, when they take on a tough San Diego State defense. Florida Atlantic is coming off back-to-back impressive wins against No. 3 Kansas State and No. 4 Tennessee.

The team is led by sophomore guard Johnell Davis, who has turned heads with his play. Davis is averaging 13.9 ppg and 5.5 rpg while shooting 49.3%.
