If you’re going to be in Vegas during March Madness, won’t you do us a favor and give us some live reports from it so we can both envy and hate you? For the rest of us, here are the odds for the top 16 teams to win the NCAA tournament. As of Monday, UConn is favored to win the tournament by the oddsmaskers, which basically guarantees they’ll lose.

You can get the full list here. By the way, the worst odds you can bet are 500-1: Air Force, Southern Illionis, NC-Wilmington, Kent State, George Mason, Bucknell, Wisc-Milwaukee, and Wichita State. If any of those teams won, Vegas would probably make a ton of dough.
