Atlantic 10 Tournament Betting Odds, Predictions & Favorites to Win 2025

• Dayton is no longer the betting favorite to win the Atlantic-10 after dropping three in a row.  

• With Dayton’s recent run of bad luck, VCU has become the betting favorite to win the A-10.

• Movers and Shakers: St. Bonaventure +550 to +1900; George Mason +1500 to +470; Dayton +170 to +900; VCU +230 to -185.

If you prefer regular-season conference title races to be competitive, then the Atlantic-10 is shaping up just how you like it. There is still a heavy favorite, but one heavy favorite has already had a fall from grace. There’s no reason why another one can’t.

There is plenty of basketball still to come, of course, and more than enough time for teams to rise and fall. Anything can and often does happen. Let’s review the latest odds to win the Atlantic 10 along with our picks/predictions.

The Atlantic 10 is one of those conferences that has a number in the name but has more actual members (15). All 15 teams aren’t competitive, but there are several that could have the kind of year necessary to win the conference.

There has been a different regular season winner for five seasons in a row. The last team to repeat as conference tournament champions was Temple (2008-10). Three teams have not won the regular season or conference tournament titles (La Salle, Fordham, and George Mason).

If you were looking at Dayton’s non-conference losses to Iowa State, North Carolina, and Cincinnati and thinking ‘no big deal’ because they beat No. 2 UConn, you probably weren’t alone. If the loss to George Washington didn’t worry you, that’s understandable. One bad loss can be excused.

Everyone has an off night.

But then a loss to Massachusetts followed by another defeat, this time to George Mason? And then needing an overtime period to defeat a lackluster Loyola team? Yeah, it’s safe to say the shine has come off Dayton’s halo.

However, four teams have just one conference loss; everyone else has at least three. That means we have four teams a solid argument can be made for winning the A-10 this year. So—who will it be? Can George Mason get the job done? Or will it be the current favorite, VCU? How about Saint Louis or Duquesne?

Favorites to Win the 2025 Atlantic 10 Tournament

There is more than enough time for any team in the A-10 to become a contender or experience a fall from grace. But for argument's sake, let’s focus on the four teams with one conference loss on their records.

That is an important distinction, conference loss. Duquesne has the same number of conference losses as Saint Louis, VCU, and George Mason. They also dropped eight games before conference play got underway. But should that matter?

As far as being able to win the conference—No. Non-conference losses do not matter. But they can give us more insight into how good or not-so-good a team might be. So, let’s take a closer look at the four A-10 teams with one conference loss:

George Mason Patriots (+470) at FanDuel

• Record: 14-5, 5-1

• NET Ranking: No. 82

After watching them get dominated by Duke on Dec. 17, my opinion of George Mason was not very high. Yes, Duke is one of the best in the nation, and to expect the Patriots to hang with them is a bit unreasonable. But I didn’t see a team that could come through in the clutch.

That is, until they did.

I’m not talking about the win over Dayton (which was impressive). But I am talking about the 2OT win over a good George Washington team. They’ll see George Washington again on Feb. 5, but the game to watch will be a couple of weeks later on Feb. 22 (vs. VCU).

VCU Rams (-185) at FanDuel

• Record: 14-4, 4-1

• NET Ranking: No. 56

VCU has bulldozed its way through the four conference opponents they’ve faced so far, winning by an average of 14 points. As for their one loss, it was to a capable St. Bonaventure team and a close one at that (77-75). So, they could easily be undefeated in conference play.

They’ll get a shot at revenge on Jan. 24 when they host the Bonnies. But the game to keep an eye on will be their Feb. 7 matchup vs. Dayton.

Saint Louis Billikens (+900) at FanDuel

• Record: 11-7, 4-1

• NET Ranking: No. 116

At the moment, it looks like the road to the regular season A-10 title goes through VCU. If that is indeed the case, the Billikens’ recent 16-point loss to the Rams is concerning. Should they lose again when they get their rematch on Jan. 28, Saint Louis is done (as far as the regular season title goes).

Duquesne Dukes (+5500) at FanDuel

• Record: 4-1, 9-9

• NET Ranking: No. 136

This is a team that started the season with six straight losses and seven in eight games. But since that dreadful start, they’ve gone 8-2 with conference wins over George Washington and St. Bonaventure. They’ll be put to the test soon, though. They face Dayton on Jan. 21 and will see them again on Feb. 15

Atlantic 10 Conference Odds: Picks and Predictions

Favorite - George Mason (+470) at FanDuel

After seeing them lose three in a row and nearly four, I can’t go with Dayton anymore. I’m not sold on VCU and I don’t like to recommend teams with minus-money odds, anyway. That leaves George Mason. I’d feel better if they were a bit stronger on the offensive end of the court, but they aren’t bad.

Their defense, however, is among the best in the country. Consequently, they are one of two teams in the A-10 with a 10+-point scoring margin. The win over Dayton is encouraging, but we’ll find out for sure if they have what it takes when they face VCU on Feb. 22.

Dark Horse - Dayton (+900) at FanDuel

Three conference losses in the last couple of weeks tell me I need to jump off the St. Bonaventure bandwagon. So, for now, I’m going to jump on Dayton’s. The three-game losing streak is a concern, of course. But they’ve been the team to beat in the conference for a reason. If any team can get it turned around, it’s them.

However, they can’t lose anymore.

Long Shot - Duquesne (+5500) at FanDuel

On paper, they look like a decent team but not a great one. That 1-7 start is reason enough to not even consider whether they can win the A-10. But then they went on a nice 8-2 run to improve to .500. That kind of turnaround during the season is impressive, but whether it can result in a regular season title remains to be seen. However, it is reason enough to take a flyer on them at +5500.

You know—just in case.

Atlantic 10 Tournament History

The Atlantic 10 began as the Eastern Collegiate Basketball League in 1975 and started play in ’76. However, after adding a few additional sports, it changed its name to the Eastern Athletic Association after the '76 season.

However, with only eight members at the time, the EAA was often referred to as the Eastern 8. The name ‘Atlantic 10’ didn’t come about until 1982 when two teams left and four joined, giving the conference ten members.

The table below contains the regular season and conference tournament winners of the A-10 dating back to the 2000-01 season.

How to Read Atlantic 10 Tournament Odds

Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament odds will be listed on all major sportsbooks in the U.S. with American odds, which are different than decimal or fractional odds; however, they can be converted from one to the other.

American odds will consist of a three-digit number proceeded by either a plus sign (+) or a minus sign. Underdogs will typically be listed with a (+) sign and tell bettors how much they can win from a $100 wager. For example, if Dayton were to go on to win the conference this season (+150), a $100 wager would result in a $250 payday, your stake plus $150 in winnings.

Now if a team has minus money odds, they will be considered the ‘odds on favorite’ or simply a ‘heavy favorite’ and have a better than 50% chance of winning. However, while that means they are more likely to win, the payout on winning bets is not as big.

Let’s say Dayton dominates college basketball for the next month, and their odds of winning the A-10 drop to -150. That means you will need to risk $150 in order to win $100.

You don’t have to bet $100, of course. To see what your payout would be with any stake and odds, check out our odds calculator.
