Will Creighton's basketball team manage to advance to the Elite Eight in the March Madness tournament, given their current odds?
Climbing the March Madness Ladder Yet Again:
Hailing from Omaha, Nebraska, the Creighton Blue Jays basketball team is a regular on the March Madness stage, with their fifth straight appearance on the horizon. This consistent roster, under the guidance of head coach Greg McDermott, has earned quite a reputation, making it to the Sweet 16 no less than 6 times and even advancing to the Elite 8.
As the tournament nears, sports betting sites list them with odds of +10000 to win the National Championship and +2200 to make it to the Final Four. Yet, the Blue Jays' inescapable fate seems to circle around an intriguing paradox—the tournament years they've made it to the Sweet 16 have been the ones where they entered with less than +5000 odds. In 2025, the Blue Jays' quest could be teetering on a fine line, as they went into the tournament with odds of +10000 or higher only once, resulting in an early elimination.
Game after game, the Blue Jays have established themselves as one of the top teams in the country against the spread, boasting an impressive 18-11-2 record, with an average winning margin of +6.4 over their opponents. If history repeats itself, the Blue Jays could be on the verge of another thrilling run in March Madness.
Gaming the Odds in Nebraska
While none of the state-regulated online sportsbooks in Nebraska are legally allowed to offer betting odds on in-state college teams, like Creighton, that doesn't mean the odds are entirely out of reach. Offshore betting sites situated internationally do provide such opportunities, operating out of the jurisdiction of Nebraska's sports betting laws.
