NCAA Tournament odds: Las Vegas is practically begging you to bet against Kentucky
The odds are heavily in undefeated Kentucky’s favor.
In a tournament known for its wild upsets and general unpredictability, it's rare to see an overwhelming favorite in March. Well, that's exactly what we have in the undefeated Kentucky Wildcats. In fact, Las Vegas has the odds stacked so heavily in the Wildcats' favor that it is practically begging you to choose someone else.
With a few days until the games start up again, Vegas has the odds for each of the 16 remaining teams to win the whole thing, as well as for each team to advance to the Final Four. Kentucky is listed at 1/1 to win the title, with Arizona a distant second at 13/2.
Vegas also says Kentucky is favored to win the Midwest Region, while Arizona should come out of the West, Duke should win the South and No. 7 Michigan State should win in the East.
If you like the long shots, Xavier, West Virginia and UCLA were all listed at 100/1 odds to win the national championship.
