The inner depths of March Madness are now upon us, and with online sports betting becoming a major influence in the sports world, plenty of people are making their picks.
The Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament is almost gone, and people are already looking ahead to the Final Four, which will commence on April 2. Among the famous making their bets for the tournament are the Backstreet Boys, who made their picks on Caesars Sportsbook on Wednesday night.
The boys made their picks in a video posted to the Caesars Sportsbook’s Twitter. Brian Littrell picked Duke, St. Peters, Michigan and Miami to make it to the final four; AJ McLean chose Duke, UCLA, Michigan and Miami; Howie Dorough went for Duke, North Carolina, Michigan and Miami; Kevin Richardson opted for Gonzaga, UCLA, Villanova, and Kansas; and Nick Carter chose North Carolina, Arizona and Miami (he skipped his first pick).

To win it all, Littrell picked Duke; Richardson chose his wife’s college, Kansas; Carter and Dorough both chose Miami; and McLean picked UCLA.
The legendary boy band made their picks ahead of their DNA World Tour 2022, which will kick off with shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on April 8, 9, 15 and 16. Some of their picks are already invalid, such as Richardson picking Gonzaga to make it to the Final Four (they were eliminated last night at the hands of Arkansas).

And as for the NCAA Tournament, it is still ongoing and is scheduled to stretch into April. For sports fans across America, it is sure to be one wild ride.
