UPDATE NOON ET SUNDAY: As everyone recovers from Houston's stunning last-minute comeback win vs. Duke, Florida is -1.5 (-105) in BetMGM's NCAA championship game odds.
That's where the line opened Saturday night.
"There's slightly more interest coming in on Houston +1.5 (-115) right now," BetMGM trading manager Seamus Magee said, while noting the book's championship futures position is notable for Monday's final. "Houston is a far better outcome. But Florida isn't bad at all."
In early March, a BetMGM customer put $100,000 on Florida +900, for a potential win of $900,000. There's also a $50,000 bet on Houston +600, to win $300,000. But BetMGM's largest championship liability was on Duke.
The total opened at 140.5 and is now 141.5 (Under -115) in the Florida vs. Houston odds market.
UPDATE 12:30 A.M. ET SUNDAY: March Madness finally got the shocker it sorely lacked through the first two weekends. Houston stunned Duke by storming back from a 66-59 deficit with 1:26 remaining to post a 70-67 outright upset tonight.
The Cougars (35-4 SU/21-17-1 ATS) finished the game with an 11-1 run to knock out the national title favorite. Houston was a 4.5-point underdog and looked dead in the water, but ultimately ended a 13-0 SU run by tournament favorites.
Houston is on a 16-game win streak, part of a 31-1 SU run overall.
The wild finish in the Final Four nightcap overshadowed Florida advancing in the opener. The Gators trailed 46-38 at halftime vs. SEC rival and fellow No. 1 seed Auburn. But Florida quickly erased the lead in the second half, then hung on late for a 79-73 win.
Florida (35-4 SU/28-11 ATS) covered as a 2.5-point underdog, halting a 1-3 ATS hiccup. The Gators are on an 11-game win streak and are 17-1 SU/14-4 ATS in their last 18 games.
Thirty minutes ago, DraftKings Sportsbook opened Houston vs. Florida odds at Gators -1.5. It's down to Florida -1. The total went from 140.5 to 141.5 in short order.
