Kentucky the Favorite for Title According to Vegas

According to Vegas, (via Rush the Court) Kentucky has supplanted the Tarheels as the odds-on favorite to win it all in April.

According to RTC; [I]It’s not so much that [B]North Carolina[/B] dropped behind[B] Kentucky[/B] as UK jumped ahead of the Heels.[/I]

When the season started, UK was at a +500 while UNC was at +350. UK has since jumped to +300, whatever that means.

While various entities have projected and polled, based as much on their own whims as anything else, (I don’t know what the point of a Dec. 15 Bracketology is) Vegas seems to be a good barometer. I mean, if you’re putting money on something our probably going to get it right, right?
