College basketball's Big Dance returns Thursday and there are some absolutely massive March Madness betting opportunities on tap. Here is your NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 preview for the Thursday tournament games. Stick around the Bodog Beat for a preview of Friday's games tomorrow.

No. 3 San Diego State vs. No. 3 Connecticut. The Aztecs (34-2, 22-12 ATS) have won seven consecutive games, not to mention a 6-1 run against the spread. This will easily be San Diego State’s biggest challenge of the tourney, though, as it hasn’t faced a ton of competition in No. 15 Northern Colorado and No. 7 Temple. UConn (28-9, 20-11 ATS) has as much momentum as anybody in the country. The Huskies have won seven straight games and went perfect on NCAA basketball odds in that span. After wasting Cincinnati in the last round, the Huskies look hungry.

No. 1 Duke vs. No. 5 Arizona. Both teams can breath a sigh of relief that they’re even here. Duke (32-4, 20-15 ATS) only squeaked past Michigan in the last round, ending a four-game winning streak against the spread despite winning 73-71. Arizona (29-7, 18-15-1 ATS) improved to 6-1 in its last seven games after knocking off Texas 70-69, but the Wildcats were aided by a brutal call with the refs that saved them in the end.

No. 2 Florida vs. No. 3 BYU. With Pittsburgh done in the Southeast, Florida (28-7, 16-14-1 ATS) takes over as the new favorite. The Gators are 7-2 in their last nine games, including a 7-1-1 run against the spread. BYU (32-4, 15-17 ATS), meanwhile, is worth the price of admission just to see Jimmer Fredette. The senior guard looks absolutely unstoppable, scoring 34, 32, 30 and 52 points in his last four games.

No. 4 Wisconsin vs. No. 8 Butler. Does Butler (25-9, 17-14-1 ATS) have another magical run in it? The Bulldogs reached the final last year, and they’re currently riding an 11-game winning streak (four straight wins ATS) after knocking No. 1 seed Pitt out of the tourney. Wisconsin (25-8, 17-12 ATS) has quietly done away with Utah State and Kansas State.
