Updated NCAA Basketball Title Odds: Villanova, Kentucky Drop, Gonzaga Heavy faves

Despite a 1-3 record, Kentucky is still one of the National Championship favorites, according to the odds. 

With nearly two weeks of play in the books, SportsBetting has opened adjusted odds for the NCAA Men’s college basketball title. 

Gonzaga is now a clear-cut favorite at the top of the odds board at 3-1. The Zags and Baylor (6-1) are the only two teams with single-digit odds.

Kentucky has fallen to 16-1 after opening the season with 10-1 odds to win it all.

Duke and Virginia, both handed home upsets already this year, have seen their odds drop from 32-1 and 26-1, respectively.

Iowa squares off with North Carolina tomorrow, and despite the disparity in the teams’ rankings, the Tar Heels have the same championship odds as the Hawkeyes. 

Here are the biggest risers and fallers in terms of the odds, and complete title odds for the 2020-21 season are below.
