Opening Final Four Lines and odds to win it all

Michigan is -5 against Loyola (give or take a half point depending on book)
Nova is -5 against Kansas (give or take a half point depending on book)

Westgate odds and Oh projections
Nova is even (52%)
Michigan is 5/2 (24.4%)
Kansas is 3/1 (20%)
Loyola is 12/1 (3.6%)

Michigan / Kansas Title Game is going to be epic

We'll see. Villanova is playing really well and I'm not betting against Sister Jean!

How does Michigan have better odds than Kansas?

How does Michigan have better odds than Kansas?

I think because Mi is playing Loyola first.

I think because Mi is playing Loyola first.

That makes sense. In terms of likelihood to win I'd say whoever comes out of the Nova-Ku game most likely will win it after that Michigan then Loyola

Because Kansas has to beat Villanova to get to the title game.

I said this before the Nevada game, so big grain of salt, but I think this is where the Loyola ride ends. A week for Belein to prepare (and it's fricking Belein!)? I think Michigan -5 is a lock.

Yeah they beat a 7th seed and 9th seed on their way to final four, which ain’t very impressive at all. The other three 11th seeds making to final four, all of them have beaten the top seeds to make it this far. Their best win was against 3rd seed Tennessee, but you know it’s Rick Barnes. To summarize, Loyola haven’t played anyone yet, and Michigan will be a different class for them to handle.

My personal opinion is that whoever wins the Nova vs Kansas game will be your national champion.

Loyola undefeated this year vs the ACC, SEC and BIG12. Looking to add Big10 and BigEast to that trophy case next weekend.

I think nova wins but 5 points seems high. Was expecting2-2.5. Self usually does well in these settings in the first game with time to prepare.

Self is 3-1 in Final Four games where KU is picked to lose.
