LSU: Odds-on Favorite, Public Darling
The Tigers opened the tournament at +1400 and now sit at just +320 to win it all, making them the current favorite at BetMGM. After storming through the regionals, LSU’s dominant rotation and high-octane offense have pushed them to the top of the board.

Highest Ticket% (11.4%)
-
Second in Handle% (9.8%)
-
Second-biggest Liability at BetMGM
Despite their shortened odds, bettors continue to hammer LSU as the most popular futures bet. The Tigers now face a gritty West Virginia squad in Baton Rouge, but if they keep swinging it like they did last weekend, it’s hard to argue against the sharp and public support.
Arkansas: Sharps Stay Steady on the Hogs
Arkansas has been one of the most consistently bet teams in the market. Opening at +1100, they’ve shortened to +375 as they prepare for a heavyweight SEC showdown with Tennessee.
-
6.4% Ticket & Handle Share
-
Third in Liability
With deep pitching and a battle-tested roster, Arkansas remains a sharp-backed team. Their draw isn’t easy, but their balanced style has bettors viewing them as Omaha-ready.
Tennessee: From Drifters to Threats
Tennessee’s odds briefly ballooned to +1200 before tightening to +600 after an impressive regional performance. Bettors have jumped back on the Volunteers bandwagon, and it’s paying off.
-
8.1% of Tickets
-
Among top three most bet teams
They’ll meet Arkansas in the most anticipated Super Regional of the weekend. The Vols bring serious power to the table and are finally matching preseason hype with results.
North Carolina: Book Liability & Sleeper Contender
Perhaps the most fascinating movement is North Carolina, which opened at +2000 and is now +600, matching Tennessee. Despite drawing just 5.7% of tickets, they’ve accounted for a whopping 32% of handle, making them BetMGM’s biggest liability.
Their Super Regional matchup with Arizona is favorable on paper, and the Heels’ blend of clutch hitting and underrated pitching has them firmly in the contender tier.
