The first two rounds of the men's tournament were rough for favorites. Through the first weekend of the tournament, including the very first games, favorites were 13-22. That led to a horrible first weekend for bettors, who generally prefer betting favorites.

In the Round of 16, it got a little better for chalk. Favorites were 5-3. A 18-25 record isn't great, but it could be worse.

That record included a 3-1 day on Sunday. The only favorite to lose was Alabama, and none of the other three favorites was even a sweat. Gonzaga cruised to an easy win and covered another huge number, Michigan pounded Florida State and USC blew out Oregon. Perhaps that's the start of a new trend for the final seven games of the tournament.
