Selection Sunday is less than a week away, so we compared some of the most popular conference tournament bets with our predictive analytics model's favorite teams for March Madness. One of the most difficult prizes in all of sports to win is the college basketball National Championship, but before we get deeper into the NCAA Tournament, first we are treated to conference tournaments to kick off March Madness. We took a deeper look at the most popular conference tournament bets for each of the major conferences in college basketball.

Who will win this year's ACC Conference Tournament?
| Teams | Odds | % of Handle | % of Bets |
| Duke | +290 | 11.5% | 27.4% |
| Virginia | +300 | 10.5% | 19.6% |
| Miami FL | +340 | 25.7% | 22.5% |
| North Carolina | +650 | 10.2% | 11.2% |
Our DimersBOT model agrees with the public here, as Duke and Miami are the model's two most likely teams to make a deep run in the big tournament. Although it's not super high on any teams from the ACC, as both Duke and Miami have just a 0.1% chance to win the NCAA championship. The ACC tournament will truly be a wide open one, as many teams could have a chance to win given that there is no elite, or even “great” teams. We recommend taking the Hurricanes, who won the regular season ACC title and are also DimersBOT's most probable champion from the conference at the end of March.
