The 2016-17 college basketball season ended yesterday, which means you can start betting on the 2017-18 college basketball season today.
The Las Vegas Superbook released its championship odds Tuesday, and there are three co-favorites at 10/1 odds: Kentucky, Louisville, and Duke. All three have won a national title since 2011.

It should be a competitive year at the top of college basketball, as no one team stands out above the rest. Seven teams have either 10/1 or 12/1 odds, and all but Gonzaga, which appeared in this year’s title game, have won a national championship within the past decade.
Only seven months until the season starts.
