Kentucky among biggest risers in National Championship odds

After notching its third win over an AP Top 10 opponent, Kentucky’s odds of winning the 2025 NCAA Championship have improved. The Cats started the season with 40/1 (+4000) odds of winning it all in Mark Pope’s first year as head coach. Now? The Cats’ odds are down to 20/1 on FanDuel, which is inside the top ten.

Auburn is the betting favorite to win the title right now (+550), followed by Duke (+750), Tennessee (+1000), Houston (+1100), Iowa State (+1200), Alabama (+1500), Gonzaga (+1600), and Florida and Kentucky, which both have +2000 odds. UConn and Kansas are next up at +2500.
