What a $100 Tennessee national title bet would return: Vols have fifth-highest odds nationally
So how much could you win with a $100 Tennessee national championship wager?
It depends on the sportsbook, underscoring the importance of shopping around for the best futures odds.
Coach Rick Barnes’ SEC champs are ranked fourth nationally in the Associated Press top 25 poll and checked in fifth as of Thursday in the NCAA’s NET rankings and respected analyst Ken Pomeroy’s efficiency ratings.
Accordingly, the Volunteers owned the fifth-best consensus national title odds at +1150 per the top online sportsbooks as of Thursday. The best Tennessee odds (+1200) could be found at DraftKings Sportsbook and Bet365, among others.
The +1200 odds are listed as a multiple of 100 which equates to 12-1.
So a winning $100 bet at those odds would return a total of $1,300 — $1,200 in winnings at 12-1 plus the return of your $100 stake.
What a $100 Tennessee national title bet would return: Getting a No. 1 NCAA seed will be key
Can the Vols win their first men’s hoops national title?
Certainly, but it is a challenging ask for a program that has reached only one regional final (a 2010 loss) in 25 all-time NCAA tourney appearances.
Tennessee’s seed in the 68-team NCAA Tournament field will be important.
With a strong showing in next week’s SEC Tournament in Nashville, Dalton Knecht and the Vols could earn a No. 1 Big Dance seed for the first time in program history.
The historical importance of a No. 1 seed is massive as 24 of the 38 national champions crowned since the tourney expanded to 64 teams in 1985 began the Big Dance with a top-line seed.
