The NCAA Tournament favorite resides in the Midwest Region.
It's been that way for virtually the entire season for the Houston Cougars as the betting public hasn't wavered from the Cougars as favorites to lift the national championship trophy at the end of the season.
Houston is +120 to make it out of the Midwest Region and into the Final Four in its home city.
The No. 2 seeded Texas is behind Houston at +400 odds on FanDuel.
Then there is a pretty significant drop-off to the No. 3 seed. Xavier has +950 odds to make it to the Final Four.
Following Xavier is actually No. 7 seed Texas A&M at +1100 odds. The Aggies are coming off a berth in the SEC Championship.
The No. 4 seed Indiana is close behind Texas A&M with +1200 odds on FanDuel to make the Final Four.
The No. 5 seed Miami is at +1600 odds and the No. 6 seed Iowa State has +2000 odds to make it to Houston.
This is a region that appears to be wide-open past Houston, which means it could be a region that has some value in the futures. But one thing is clear: The betting world expects to see the Cougars in the Final Four.
