Here are the most likely March Madness upsets, according to Las Vegas

  • March Madness is back.
  • If you're filling out a bracket, it's smart to include a few first-round upsets.
  • By checking in with Las Vegas, you can get a better idea of which underdogs could shock the world.

March Madness is back, and it's time to fill out your bracket.

Through the first two rounds of the tournament, it's important to include a few upsets in your bracket. They don't have to be stunners, but a few double-digit seeded teams taking a win in the first round is to be expected. The key is choosing the right ones.

By taking a look at the lines in Las Vegas, we can get a better idea of which upsets could occur in the first round. Sometimes, a lower-seeded team is actually favored over their higher-seeded opponents. Other times, the spread just isn't as big as you might think, hinting that Vegas sees a potential upset in the works.

Below we examined the 15 first-round upsets most likely to happen based on the spreads. All lines courtesy of the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook.
