It was a first two rounds full of chalk in the 2025 NCAA tournament, as favorites won 36 of the 48 games (but only went 26-22 against the spread). It was also and a good few days for most sportsbooks, as there were enough upsets to break up money-line parlays on favorites, but unders also went 27-20-1. And we know the public isn't going to be betting on a ton of unders in March Madness.
Although those lack of upsets may have made the first round less exciting, the Round of 32 featured some fantastic games and the Sweet 16 has some potential barnburners as well.
