The 2025 NCAA men\u2019s basketball tournament is working its way through the second round and the heavyweights are advancing to the Sweet 16. The tournament has not featured much of the usual drama, but it also means we\u2019re getting some big programs headed into the second weekend. Maybe we\u2019ll see some drama next weekend.<\/p>\n

As each matchup is settled, we\u2019ll be providing the opening odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook<\/a>. The lines will change, and so these will simply be the odds from when they first open. Keep an eye out because the lines will change for each game, with some more drastic than others.<\/p>\n
