NCAA Championship Odds: Kansas On Top
The NCAA Championship Odds have changed quite a bit since we last check in on them back in December. We have a lot more basketball under our belts.
NCAA Championship Odds:Â Kansas Is King Of The Mountain (For Now)
Kansas has overtaken Michigan State in both the Championship future odds and the AP Top 25.
Michigan State has sat on top of the AP Top 25 for most of December, though the sports books have been hesitant at embracing the undefeated squad. However, they now sit on top the odds with a +800 moneyline at Bovada. Michigan State is 12-0, having passed every test thrown in front of them this early part of the season. They have been earning wins and toward the end of Dec. they ended up on top of the odds. However, Kansas now sits on top with +700.
Duke was always a favorite among the sportsbooks this month due to high betting volume alone. They were ranked as the top team in the futures on Dec. 15, while being ranked only No. 8 in the AP 25. Duke has now battled back into the top ten in the AP Poll and remains strong in the odds.
Below you will find the future odds, courtesy of Bovada, and the AP Top 25 teams.
