  • Kansas, Michigan State Favorites to Win NCAA Championship

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Here are the latest odds to win the NCAA championship from Bovada:

    Since reopening our odds after the brackets came out, our two favorites, Kansas and MSU are taking a ton of money with both around 20% of all money coming in. Virginia and Oregon as No. 1 seeds are getting no respect as both are under 3% of the action. UConn and Gonzaga are the medium longshots that are growing in liability for the book.”
