On Nov. 5, UConn was the betting favorite to win the 2025 NCAA Tournament (17\/2) on <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.betonline.ag\/sportsbook\/futures-and-props\/ncaam-futures\/championship\">BetOnline.ag<\/a>, which would be the Huskies\u2019 third title in a row. Now, Auburn is the favorite to take home the title at 7\/1 (up from 25\/1) and the Huskie\u2019s odds have lengthened to 14\/1, the same as Houston and Kansas\u2019. It was a really bad trip to Hawaii for Dan Hurley\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n<p>How about the Cats? <strong>Kentucky\u2019s odds to win the title in Mark Pope\u2019s first season have improved from 35\/1 to 25\/1. <\/strong>Tennessee, which is also 7-0 and ranked No. 3 in the AP Poll, made an even bigger jump, moving from 60\/1 to 16\/1. Arkansas\u2019 odds have worsened the most, moving from 33\/1 to 60\/1.<\/p>\n<p>This week will tell us a lot about the Cats. After cruising to four blowouts, Kentucky plays its first true road game of the season tonight at Clemson, whose odds of winning it all are 100\/1. On Saturday, they\u2019ll face Gonzaga, one of the title favorites (10\/1) in what will likely be a Bulldog-friendly crowd in Seattle. Both are hard tests, but if they can make it through the week unscathed, their NCAA Tournament stock will continue to rise.<\/p>\n<p>Check out all the odds below. Just 103 days until Selection Sunday. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2025 NCAA Men\u2019s Basketball Championship<\/h2>\n<p><em>Note: Teams with improved odds to win have a down arrow, teams with odds lengthened have an up arrow.
