The Kentucky Wildcats and North Carolina Tar Heels are the co-favorites to win the 2023 Men's NCAA Tournament at 9-1 odds at Caesars Sportsbook. The Wildcats could start the season without star Oscar Tshiebwe, who is recovering from minor knee surgery, but he won't be out long. The Wildcats haven't made the Final Four since 2015, but John Calipari has a loaded roster, and there are high hopes in Lexington. The Tar Heels, on the other hand, lost by three to Kansas in the national title game and have four of five starters back and an impressive batch of newcomers. So, will one of these teams be cutting down the nets in Houston on April 3, or does a surprise await?

Among the other favorites in Caesars Sportsbook's 2023 college basketball futures are the Houston Cougars (10-1), Gonzaga Bulldogs (10-1) and UCLA Bruins (12-1). Before you lock in your 2022 college basketball futures picks, you NEED to see what SportsLine college basketball expert Matt Severance has to say.

A well-connected writer and handicapper who has worked in the industry since 2005, Severance is on a stunning run: He is a blistering 106-73-4 on his last 183 against-the-spread picks, returning more than $2,400 for $100 bettors during that span. Anyone who has followed him is WAY UP!

Now, Severance has revealed his top futures bets, including his pick to win it all and the team that offers the best value. One SHOCKER among Severance's picks: The expert is fading the defending champion Kansas Jayhawks, who are priced at 20-1. They suffered several massive losses, including Big 12 Player of the Year Ochai Agbaji, and Severance says "the Jayhawks won't win the Big 12 or sniff the Final Four."  

Severance also has found a team that brings excellent value -- one he says "may well be the best team in school history" -- and has another recommendation on a triple-digit longshot to consider! You ABSOLUTELY need to see the expert's picks before locking in your plays!
