Public betting favors Duke, Arizona in Thursday’s Sweet 16 matchups

After what feels like a months-long layoff, the men’s NCAA tournament resumes on Thursday with four Sweet Sixteen matchups featuring some of college basketball’s royalty.

No. 1 Gonzaga, No. 1 Arizona, No. 2 Duke and No. 2 Villanova all return to the court in an attempt to move one win away from a Final Four appearance and the fanfare that comes with it.

Standing in the way are the likes of No. 4 Arkansas, No. 11 Michigan, No. 3 Texas Tech and No. 5 Houston. Simply put, there are no easy outs remaining. That can make things pretty difficult for bettors as they try to navigate the second weekend of the tournament.

Here’s a look at who the public is siding with according to the latest data from Tipico Sportsbook as of Thursday morning.
