"Odd men out" vs "odd mans out"

Hi

Could you please tell me the plural of ODD MAN OUT? For example, if there are two oddities in the given choice - how should we use this phrase?

Circle the odd men out.

Circle the odd mans out.

Thanks,

Tom

The odd men out is the best. Both sound wrong as the phase is designed for singles but odd men out is ok.
