Super Tuesday will be the most important day of the 2020 Democratic presidential primary for the remaining candidates hoping to face off against President Donald Trump in the fall.

On March 3, five Democrats—Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Mike Bloomberg, Elizabeth Warren, and Tulsi Gabbard—will compete for the 1,357 delegates up for grabs in 14 states, plus the American Samoa caucuses and the Democrat Abroad primary.

Sanders received the most votes in the first three early primary states, but after Biden’s convincing win in South Carolina—where he was the odds-on favorite to win—the former Vice President has increased his chances across the board on Super Tuesday.

Additionally, the exits of Tom Steyer, Pete Buttigieg, and Amy Klobuchar have also contributed to Biden’s increased odds on Super Tuesday. Steyer has stayed quiet, but Buttigieg and Klobuchar reportedly plan to endorse Biden.

But with all that being said, the oddsmakers at Bovada sportsbook are still feeling the Bern tomorrow.

Sanders is favored to win eight of the 14 states on Super Tuesday while Biden is projected to win six contests, according to the legal betting odds.

Bovada favors Sanders to win California (-4000), Colorado (-4000), Maine (-500), Massachusetts (-305), Minnesota (-600), Texas (-140), Utah (-3000), and Vermont (-100000).

Biden, on the other hand, is currently the odds-on favorite to win Alabama (-5000), Arkansas (-500), North Carolina (-260), Oklahoma (-270), Tennessee (-800), and Virginia (-500).
