Here, we break down the futures odds to win the Atlantic 10 this season and break down which contenders are the most worth backing in futures markets.
A-10 Basketball Conference Betting Odds:
Atlantic 10 Basketball Betting Outlook
The Dayton Flyers were the favorites to win the Atlantic 10 regular season championship for much of the year. But Richmond and Loyola Chicago moved ahead of them in the A-10 standings, with Richmond ending up the top seed in the Atlantic 10 tournament. Dayton ended up in third place in the conference standings and will have a tougher road to the conference title game than Richmond as a result.
Looking ahead to the Atlantic 10 tournament Dayton is still the favorite to win and get to the NCAA Tournament as an automatic qualifier. Behind them, Richmond, Loyola Chicago, and UMass are the other three teams inside of +1000 to win going into the A-10 tourney. But there are around eight teams who could realistically win this tournament to end up in the NCAA Tournament without any sweat of waiting until Selection Sunday.
The big question in the A-10 this year will be whether this league can produce enough quality to get multiple teams into the Big Dance. So far this year, Joe Lunardi has projected both Dayton and Richmond into the field, but the team that does not earn the automatic bid from this conference could miss out on the tourney if they have a lackluster showing in Brooklyn.
A-10 Conference History
The A-10 is a 15-team conference that has had seven different tournament winners over the last seven seasons. VCU is the only consistent in this conference as they have made the final seven of the past 10 seasons. Newcomer Loyola Chicago should make an instant impact in a league that should be fun this season, as the Atlantic 10 has not had a Final Four appearance since UMass in 1996.
