Here are the complete betting odds for the 2017 Final Four. With two great games on tap, who are the early favorites?
The Final Four is about to have a new look this year. With three fresh faces and one mainstay heavyweight, there will be a new champion this season. On Sunday, the final two sports in the Final Four were officially clinched as South Carolina and North Carolina both earned their spot in.
The Gamecocks pulled away from the Florida Gators in the final minute thanks to their great defense. They will now face the No. 1 Gonzaga Bulldogs. Defeating the Bulldogs would be their biggest upset yet. According to the betting odds, the Bulldogs are 6.5-point favorites over the Gamecocks, according to OddsShark.
In the final game on Saturday, the Tar Heels will take on the Oregon Ducks. Jordan Bell had a huge performance that helped lift the Ducks past the Kansas Jayhawks in impressive fashion. They very well might be the most dangerous team remaining.
Per BetOnline, North Carolina opens as a 4.5 point favorite over Oregon. Gonzaga at -6.5 vs South Carolina. #FinalFour

However, they are the underdog in their game against North Carolina. The Tar Heels are opening as 4.5-point favorites after their crazy win over Kentucky. They’ll have to be even more sharp for an Oregon team that has all the confidence in the world right now. As expected, the two No. 1 seeds are the favorites here. Both of these games should end up being close ones.
The lines could end up changing over the course of the week, but for now this is where things stand. With new faces in the Final Four, it certainly makes betting more unpredictable.
