2012 NCAA Championship Betting Odds Have Kentucky a 6 Point Favorite

The 2012 NCAA Championship betting odds had the Kentucky Wildcats at -6 across the board with the line only moving up a half point at the Mirage in Las Vegas and a handful of online sportsbooks.  Belmont.com offered a line of -6.5 and was giving away a FREE CASH 25 percent bonus on a newly opened betting account.   

Number two seed Kansas will face the overall number one seed Wildcats Monday night. 

Kentucky (37-2) will be in search of its eighth national title, but its first since 1998.  For Kansas, this will represent their 6th National Championship game appearance. 

These teams met in November at Madison Square Garden, a 75-65 Kentucky victory in the second game of the season.
