College basketball futures odds, best bets: Proven expert fading Kansas Jayhawks in 2022-23
The 2022-23 men's college basketball season starts Monday. North Carolina is the top-ranked team and takes on UNC-Wilmington at 9 p.m. ET. The Tar Heels are 9-1 co-favorites along with Kentucky in the latest 2022 college football futures odds. Defending champion Kansas is 20- 1. Matt Severance is a well-connected writer and handicapper who has worked in basketball since 2005. He is 106-73-4 on his last 183 against-the-spread college hoops picks.
Severance is not confident in the Kansas Jayhawks defending their national championship. He thinks they won't win the Big 12 or make the Final Four. They lost their star players and are facing distractions. They have some new players, but they are not ready to defend the title. Severance's picks are available at SportsLine.
Severance has picked his winner of the NCAA Tournament 2023 and has found great value on a team that he says "may well be the best team in school history." He also has a couple of value plays you might want to consider, including a massive 100-1 longshot.
