As we look ahead to this weekend’s Final Four matchups in New Orleans, plenty of wagers came in on which team will win the national championship when they cut down the nets Monday, April 4th.

The Duke Blue Devils are the current favorites to win it all in Mike Krzyzewski’s final season, while their opponent North Carolina Tar Heels are the biggest underdog heading into Saturday night’s contest. The Kansas Jayhawks are right behind Duke with a bit of a drop off in odds with the Villanova Wildcats.
