2025 NCAA basketball championship odds: Who is favored? Will UConn 3-peat?

Looking at the 2025 NCAA basketball championship odds as the 2023-24 season just wrapped up.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

It’s never too soon to think about next season.

While the UConn Huskies were finishing off the Purdue Boilermakers Monday in Glendale, Ariz, other programs — and players — have already set their focus on what it will take to get to the 2025 National Championship Game in San Antonio’s Alamodome next April 7.

Numerous players have entered the transfer portal, from FAU G Johnell Davis to Arizona C Oumar Ballo. Davis reportedly will test the waters and enter the NBA Draft.

Florida G Walter Clayton Jr., LSU G Jalen Cook and even USC G Bronny James are among a group who have declared or reportedly will declare for the upcoming draft.

Coaches are on the move, too. Sources have John Calipari leaving Kentucky for SEC rival Arkansas. He would replace Eric Musselman, who is headed to USC … which lost Andy Enfield to SMU.

So, who will win the championship next season?

Prediction

Lousiville 35, Syracuse 24

Moneyline (ML)

LOUISVILLE (-345) opens this contest as a big home favorite in the inter-conference matchup with Syracuse (+270). Given Syracuse’s struggles away from home, it would be quite surprising if it were able to win outright. Expect Lousiville to win at home in what could be a sloppy ACC game.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Oregon returns a profit of $0.40.

Against the Spread (ATS)

LOUISVILLE (-9.5, -115) opens this contest as a two-score favorite. Along with the 6-4 record on the season, Lousiville has covered the spread in six of its 10 games, while Syracuse has covered in just three of its 10 games. Expect this one to come down to the wire, but for Lousiville to ultimately win by double-digits.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total is set at 62.5. Both sides are allowing more than 28 points per contest and have been destroyed by better competition. However, neither offense is all that exciting, which could lead to the UNDER (-110).
