College basketball national title odds: Kentucky, Memphis look like best bets, but Duke doesn’t have much value

Michigan State returns three of its top four scorers from last season’s Final Four club, has a Hall of Fame coach in Tom Izzo and features the potential preseason favorite to win national player of the year: Cassius Winston. So it should come as no surprise that the Spartans are the favorite to win it all in 2019-20

The Spartans have the depth, talent and momentum to pick up where they left off last season in Minneapolis, and updated betting odds from the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook have them (still!) as the outright favorite to win the title next April in Atlanta at 6-1 odds. Trailing closely behind them is Kentucky at 8-1, Kansas at 8-1, Duke at 10-1 and North Carolina at 10-1. A host of other programs enter the picture between 14-1 and 25-1.

While the best odds suggest they are accompanied by the best teams, not all happen to be the best bets. So let’s take a spin at some teams I like — and some I don’t followed by the latest odds on each team from Westgate.
