The NCAA Tournament field is set, which means it’s time for bracketing. And although everyone loves to scour 5-12 matchups in search of potential upsets, the winner of your office pool will likely be determined by who correctly predicts the final game.

With that in mind, we have compiled a list of who oddsmakers, analysts and statistical models peg as the NCAA Tournament favorite. We’ll start with the odds-on front-runner according to…

Oddmaker Bovada has Villanova as the favorite at +450, followed by Virginia (+500), Duke (+650) and Michigan State (+750)

Statistical analysis website FiveThirtyEight sees Virginia as the favorite, with an 18 percent chance to win it all. Villanova comes in a close second at 17 percent.
