The Kansas Jayhawks started the college basketball season with the No. 3 ranking in the AP poll, but they were all the way down to ninth in odds at WynnBET Sportsbook to win the national championship.
Turns out, one dominant performance in the national spotlight was enough to catch the oddsmakers' attention.
The Jayhawks began at +2000 to be the last team standing at the end of the NCAA Tournament, but have since climbed up to +1600. While prospective KU bettors may be slightly disappointed to have missed out on the +2000 number, WynnBET's odds of 16/1 still remains longer than the consensus, which currently ranges from +1200 to +1400 at most other sportsbooks.
