NCAA Tournament 2018 Odds for all 68 Teams

Under John Calipari, the Kentucky Wildcats have usually began NCAA Tournament play as one of the top favorites to win it all.

That will be different this year, however. Ahead of the Big Dance beginning Tuesday night with the play-in games, Bovada released their title odds, and the Cats aren’t even in the top 10.

For now, UK has the 13th-best odds to win the tournament. The betting favorite is Villanova, followed by Virginia, Duke, Kansas and then Arizona tied with Cincinnati, Michigan State and Purdue for the fifth-best odds.

So, if you’re following, just to make the Sweet 16, UK will likely have to beat the teams with the second and tied for fifth-best odds to win it all. Then there’s a potential Elite Eight matchup with Cincinnati, who is also tied for the fifth-best odds to win it all.

That’s three teams with top-five odds to win it all that UK may have to beat to just make the Final Four.

Whew.
