College Basketball Prop Bets: March Madness Prop Bets 2022

It’s not called March Madness because everything happens the way it’s supposed to. If that were the case, the NCAA college basketball Division 1 men’s tournament would be known as ... March Ball?

Sorry, we’re not known for our national championship puns. We’re Odds Shark, we’re known for our betting strategy and expertise in college basketball prop bets. We want to pass that online gambling expertise on to you so you can still experience the joys of college basketball’s Super Bowl even after your bracket gets busted

Let’s face it, lots of brackets were busted within the first day or two, and that’s where March Madness prop bets come in. College basketball prop bets can keep you in the mix until the final game of the tournament – as opposed to the first few hours, after that No. 4 seed you had a hunch about gets blown out in the first round. 

Check out our massive list of college basketball prop bets below. You can bet on as many as you like. Why not bet them all? It certainly makes watching March Madness games more fun. While there’s only a few college basketball games remaining, we still have some Final Four props and a pick for you to finish off your NCAAB betting this year.

Our Best College Basketball Prop Bets & Picks:

March Madness Exact Sportsbook Pick: UNC Over Kansas

While four of the best college basketball programs in the country remain, this year’s version of March Madness has been anything but predictable. So, to end off our prop picks this year, we’re going to embrace the chaos.

Sorry Coach K, your run comes to an end with another crushing defeat to UNC. And Kansas, you’ll win as expected in the Final Four but lose to the lower seed in the finals!

The Pick: UNC over Kansas +900

No. 1 Seed To Win:

A No. 1 seed has won 64 percent of all March Madness tournaments, including the last four. These +115 odds for a No. 1 seed to win imply a 46.51 percent chance, while history shows their odds are much higher. In the last 10 tournaments, a top seed has won the title seven times.

It’s not like this tournament had weak No. 1 seeds either, with Gonzaga proving to be a powerhouse and blue bloods like Baylor and Kansas eyeing deep runs, too. But only Kansas remains in the hunt for the title.

The Pick: No. 1 Seed To Win Tournament +115
Result: TBD

Wisconsin Sweet 16 Run:

Getting plus money on a top-20 team like the Wisconsin Badgers to make the Sweet 16? Sign me up.

The Badgers have been up and down at points this year, ending their season with losses to Michigan State and Nebraska, but they have also shown they can beat some of the best teams in the country. Led by Jonathan Davis, the Badgers have the talent and an easy enough path to make the Sweet 16. They should handle 14th-seeded Colgate and then must win just one more game against a lower-seeded team to make the top 16.

The Pick: Wisconsin To Make The Sweet 16 +105
Result: Loss

March Madness Betting Sites


How to Make A Prop Bet On March Madness

Props are any bets that may or may not directly correlate to the outcome of a single game. Any of the bets we list above are props because you’re not betting on college basketball point spreads or totals, you’re wagering on things like which conference will have a better showing. 

Let’s say you want to bet on wins. Prop odds at the sportsbook would look something like this:

Which team will have more wins in the 2022 college basketball tournament?

Duke -200

Purdue +160

If you believe the Blue Devils will have more wins and you lay down $100, you’d get a payout of $150 – your original money is returned along with your winnings of $50. 

That same $100 on the Boilermakers would give you $260 – you get your $100 back, coupled with your prize of $160. 

Our Odds Calculator will tell you what you’d win based on the March Madness prop odds and amount you bet.

Game Props

One of the more exciting aspects of March Madness is that any given game can become an instant classic. Whether it goes to overtime or perhaps a 12 seed becomes the Cinderella of the tournament with a buzzer-beater, these are situational betting spots that the average bettor can have fun with.

Game props for March Madness can include “How many buzzer-beaters will occur during the Round of 64?” or “What will be the highest point total scored by one team during the Round of 64?” These college basketball prop bets are incredibly hard to handicap, so betting large amounts on them wouldn’t be recommended with so many variables in play.

Team Props

Team props for the NCAA Tournament are usually only found before the tourney begins. Once you see the seedings, you can bet on which team will go further than another before being eliminated.

For example, you see that both the Baylor Bears and Gonzaga Bulldogs got a No. 1 seed but you think Baylor will be eliminated before Gonzaga. The odds vary depending on the matchup and the props usually involve teams that aren’t playing in the same region.

Player Props

The player props for March Madness can be quite enjoyable for the average bettor because, in basketball, one player can change everything. Betting on the number of points a player will score in a game or which player will lead the NCAA men’s tournament in total rebounds are just some of the college basketball prop bets you can wager on.

National Player of the Year candidates like Oscar Tshiebwe of the Kentucky Wildcats will likely be in the mix for each of these props. Another sneaky way to bet these props is to take a player on a team that you think will go far in March Madness, offering them more opportunity to rack up the stats.

College Basketball Prop Bets FAQ

Are there certain betting sites that are better for March Madness?

There are specific sites that are better for betting on March Madness than others, so Odds Shark’s experts have taken the time to rank and review the best March Madness betting sites. Though most popular prop bets can be found at any site, each sportsbook often posts unique props and betting markets for college basketball bettors to browse.

Is it too late for me to make a March Madness bracket?

While it is too late now to make a bracket, you can still get into the games by betting on the NCAAB Tournament. Odds Shark has put together a comprehensive How to Bet on March Madness guide that shows you how to read college basketball odds, the kind of bets you can make on the tournament, and how to make them.

Are prop bets and March Madness brackets the same thing?

March Madness brackets are opportunities to try to predict the outcome of every game. Prop bets allow you to bet on every game, and wager on the fun and small outcomes within a game that may not affect its final result. Our bets over brackets page outlines all the reasons why wagering on March Madness takes more skill, is more fun, and can be more profitable than your bracket.
