With the number of high profile athletes using Tiwtter on the rise, and stories of their prolific one-liners whether they be jabs, preliminary contract negotiations, or simple complaints about officiating on the rise, speculation is growing as to whether pro sports leagues and/or franchises will ever beat the Tweet. This is especially true since Chad Johnson's proclamation yesterday that he will be using Twitter during games drew criticism and uproar suggesting a potential in-game ban on Twitter from the NFL. This being the case, the largest most successful sportsbook on the web, BetUS.com posted odds on all things pro sports and Twitter.

Iowa State: Are They The Underdogs To Look For In March Madness?

They may be defined as “underdogs” or “Cinderella teams”, a term that is usually saved for teams that have little to no chance of winning even a single game during the NCAA Tournament. Teams like Loyola Marymount (1990), George Mason (2006), Davidson (2008), VCU (2011), UConn (2014), and Loyola Chicago (2018) come to mind when conversations turn toward the most surprising tournament runs in recent memory.
