How to bet Duke-Wisconsin

— -- LAS VEGAS -- In some ways, Monday night's NCAA championship game has become anticlimactic after Wisconsin's epic upset of undefeated Kentucky on Saturday night.

There was talk that a Kentucky-Duke matchup would create the biggest TV audience in college basketball history, and there was speculation that it would create a record betting handle. But while Wisconsin-Duke might not draw the same numbers, it's still going to be what most sports fans are looking to watch (and bet on) come Monday night, so it's time to take a look from the Vegas betting perspective.

Favorites and underdogs split the two games in the Final Four on Saturday as Duke routed Michigan State 81-61 to cover as a 5.5-point favorite despite trailing by eight points early in the first half. Wisconsin beat Kentucky 71-64 as a consensus 5-point underdog and plus-210 on the money line here in Vegas. Both games went over their betting totals.

Heading into the title game, underdogs now lead just 32-30 ATS (51.6 percent) for the tournament and unders' edge is down to 32-28-2 (53.3 percent).

After Wisconsin's upset of Kentucky, the majority of Vegas sports books posted the opening line for the title game at pick 'em. The Wynn Las Vegas and the Boyd Gaming books (including Coast Casinos) opted for Wisconsin minus-1, but by Sunday morning all 14 Vegas books on the Don Best screen had the game at pick 'em. The over/under opened most places at 141 and at 10 a.m. ET Monday, the majority of books were at 140.
