March Madness is finally upon us, and all roads lead to New Orleans. The Final Four this year will be played in the Caesars Superdome, and the NCAA Tournament's field of 68 features a few heavy hitters. Gonzaga is this year's favorite to win, sitting at +300 odds, whereas Arizona, Kentucky, and Kansas are being given among the best odds to win this year's national championship.
This year also marks the final season for Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, who is capping off an insane 42-year run with the Blue Devils. Duke, a No. 2 seed, is looking to get Krzyzewski his sixth national title with Duke. The Blue Devils are sitting in one of the most cutthroat regions in the country, however, so the road to get there won't be easy.
