NCAA Tournament 2012 Final Four Odds, Prop Bets

One of the most highly anticipated Final Fours in recent memory is just a few days away meaning it is time to get those last minute NCAA Tournament bets in now.

Kentucky has been the heavy favorite to win the NCAA Tournament the minute that the brackets were announced and that has changed as the teams head to New Orleans for the Final Four. Kentucky is the heavy favorite with a 52 percent chance to win the title, according to RJ Bell of Pregame.com.

Following up Kentucky is Ohio State with a 25 percent chance, Kansas with a 15 percent chance, and Louisville with an eight percent chance.

Louisville is not only a huge underdog to win it all, but is also the biggest underdog in its Final Four game against Kentucky since 1999. The Cardinals are an 8.5-point underdog in the "Battle of the Bluegrass State." It is the first time the two teams have ever met in a Final Four and has already caused a fight at a dialysis center in Kentucky.

In the other Final Four matchup, the Ohio State Buckeyes are favored by 2.5-points over Kansas. The Buckeyes knocked off Syracuse in the Elite Eight, while Kansas defeated a Kendall Marshall-less North Carolina team.

Favorites in Final Four games have won 19 of the last 28 games, according to Pregame.com.

In addition to odds of the actual games, one of the most entertaining ways to gamble is with prop bets.

Here are some of the prop bets put together by RJ Bell:

Total Points by Jared Sullinger:
over/under 27

Total Points by Anthony Davis:
