Have you made a wager on the Kentucky Wildcats to win the National Championship? You may be too late to the party. Kentucky’s odds are falling faster than Tom Petty in Reseda.

A bettor that opened their DraftKings SportsBook app this morning in any state that borders Kentucky could have placed a wager on UK to win the 2022 national title at 15/1. For those that must use an overseas sportsbook, BetOnline.ag currently has the Cats at 8/1 to win it all, almost half the price.

Just like the national media, sportsbooks are waking up to the Wildcats after Saturday’s dominant performance at Kansas. Kentucky is now the second choice in Vegas to win the National Championship, trailing only Gonzaga.

DraftKings has still not adjusted their College Basketball Futures. You can still get UK at 15/1 to win the title and at +350 to go to the Final Four. Those prices will not last for long.

2022 Wooden Award Odds

Meanwhile, Oscar Tshiebwe has taken over the race for the National Player of Year. BetOnline.ag has the Kentucky big man slightly ahead of Wisconsin’s Johnny Davis with 3/1 odds to win the Wooden Award. The nation’s leading rebounder currently averages 16.3 points and 15.1 rebounds per game while shooting 61.5% from the field.
