The 2024 NCAA Tournament field has been whittled down to the Sweet 16, and the sportsbooks are sweating considering most of the "chalk" is still dancing.

Sweet 16 and the latest national championship odds were set, and as the dust has settled, we've seen ample movement in the game lines.

Our data shows that UConn's spread against San Diego State (2023 title game rematch) has shifted 2.5 points in favor of the Huskies.

The Gonzaga-Purdue spread has also seen significant movement due to early wagering as the Boilermakers have gone from 3.5-point favorite to 5.5-point favorites.

In fact, every line change except for Tennessee has moved toward the favorite.

Below are the opening lines, current lines, liabilities and latest NCAAM Championship/regional odds.
