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

• Dayton is still the betting favorite at +170 to win the conference despite the massive loss to George Washington, 82-62.

• Dayton and VCU are still the betting favorites, but there are now five teams with odds shorter than +1000 (Dayton at +170, VCU at +230, St. Bonaventure at +550, and Saint Joseph’s and Saint Louis at +850).

• Movers and Shakers: St. Bonaventure +1100 to +550; George Washington +10000 to +7500.

 If you have been waiting for a reason to believe Dayton may not win the Atlantic 10 this season, then their Jan. 4 game vs. George Washington must have felt like a late Christmas present, with the Flyers losing big, 82-62. If that wasn’t enough, the Bonnies took down VCU 77-75 on New Year’s Eve.

With the two favorites going down, it is not shocking to see the odds at the top of A-10 betting boards tighten up. Of course, whether that trend continues remains to be seen. Conference play just got underway, so there is still plenty of basketball to play.  Anything can 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).

Most teams now have two conference games under their belts, and most have already gotten their first loss. Of the conference’s 15 teams, only three are still undefeated at 2-0: St. Bonaventure, Saint Louis, and Richmond.  Amongst the three, the Bonnies (St. Bonaventure) has the best overall record at 14-1.

Four teams remain winless in conference play: Loyola Chicago (0-1), La Salle (0-1), Fordham (0-2), and Massachusetts (0-2). Of the eight 1-1 wins, seven of them have 10+ wins, which tells us one is still anyone’s thing: this conference to win.

Favorites to Win the 2025 Atlantic 10 Tournament

Dayton and VCU are still the clear-cut betting favorites to win the Atlantic 10 Conference. At 11-4, 1-1, they are playing solid basketball just as expected. So, rather than waste time talking about how the teams we expected to be good are, let’s talk about the three teams that are still undefeated in conference play:

St. Bonaventure Bonnies (+550) at FanDuel

• 2024-25 Record: 14-1 overall, 2-0 in conference play

• NET Ranking: No. 51

Without a ranked team on their schedule, the Bonnies are limited in how they can prove themselves. But taking down one of the two betting favorites (VCU, 77-75 on Dec. 31) is a good start. They have another challenge on deck with Saint Louis on Wednesday, Jan. 8, with Richmond to follow a week later.

Should they continue to win, a victory over Dayton later in the month (Tuesday, Jan. 28) could propel them into the top 25.

Saint Louis Billikens (+850) at FanDuel

• 2024-25 Record: 9-6 overall, 2-0 in conference play

• NET Ranking: No. 125

While things have been looking up for the Billikens since conference play started, we’ll know for certain in a few days if they have a shot at winning the conference. Why? Because their next three opponents are: (1) St. Bonaventure (Jan. 8), (2) VCU (Jan 14), and (3) Richmond (Jan. 18).

If they can win two of the three, it may be worth taking a flyer on Saint Louis.

Richmond Spiders (+20000) at FanDuel

• 2024-25 Record: 7-8 overall, 2-0 in conference play

• NET Ranking: No. 256

The Spiders are proof that the non-conference schedule does not make the team. After struggling to a 5-8 mark in non-conference play, they’ve won two consecutive conference games, an easy one over Massachusetts (72-64) and a solid win over a surprisingly good George Washington team (66-61).

They’ll get to take their shot at St. Bonaventure in the near future (Jan. 15).

Atlantic 10 Conference Odds: Picks and Predictions

Favorite - Dayton (+170) at FanDuel

I’m not quite ready to jump ship on the Flyers just yet. After the whipping they took at the hands of George Washington, it would seem like a good time to roll with someone else. But for all we know, they could run the table the rest of the way. That’s the kind of thing a good team does.

They’ve got a pretty easy slate for the rest of January, up until the last few days when they face St. Bonaventure (Jan. 28) and Saint Louis (Jan. 31).

Dark Horse - St. Bonaventure (+550) at FanDuel

I’m going to leave them as my dark horse for now. While they have played well enough to see their odds of winning the A-10 down to +550, they need to face some of the conference’s better teams and win before I call them my favorite.

Most of January does not look too challenging, but that will change towards the end of the month when they play VCU (Jan. 24) and Dayton (Jan. 28).

Long Shot - George Washington (+7500) at FanDuel

I’ll admit that I was concerned that GW might flop like last season after the loss to Richmond. But then they not only beat Dayton, but they also dominated the Flyers with a 20-point win. I’m a little surprised their odds are still as high as they are. They have a few relatively easy games coming up; they are definitely winnable. 

Should they win their next five (don’t laugh; it could happen). Their A-10 odds will not remain at +7500 heading into their Jan.29 game vs. Richmond.

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 Choose the Best Sportsbook for Betting on the Atlantic 10 Tournament 

The only thing tougher than picking a team to win the conference is picking a sportsbook to place your bet with. But don’t worry—we’re here to help. For a solid, comprehensive look at several of the top online sportsbooks in the industry, try checking out our full sportsbook reviews.

The following table will give you a brief review of what three of the more popular online sportsbooks have to offer.

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, it 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 it is more likely to win, the payout on winning bets is not as significant.

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.
