Most betting shops opened Louisville as a 4 or 4.5-point favorite vs. Michigan for Monday’s NCAA Tournament finals at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. The total was at 137.5 or 138 around midnight (Sunday morning). Gamblers could take the Wolverines to win outright for a +160 payout (risk $100 to win $165).

In the first hour of betting, a number of spots like The Mirage, Stations and a few offshores adjusted the number for the side down to 3.5.

By lunch on Sunday, most books had settled at Louisville -4 with the total 137.5 or 138.
