Iowa vs. UConn Opening Final Four Odds: Clark and the Hawkeyes Open as Favorites Against Huskies

Iowa vs UConn Odds

Iowa will face off against UConn in a starstudded Final Four matchup on Friday, April 5.

The odds opened up at Iowa -2.5 at DraftKings, with the Hawkeyes -142 on the moneyline.

The total opened up at 163.

UConn's moneyline opened at +120 at the sportsbook.

Iowa is the biggest liability for most sportsbooks to win the National Championship. The bettors have been backing the Hawkeyes all season long and that's not likely to stop for the Final Four. Caitlin Clark continues to be America's darling, scoring 41 points against LSU in the Elite Eight win.

Iowa is far behind South Carolina in terms of odds but sportsbooks would much rather see South Carolina lift the trophy when it's all said and done.

Meanwhile, the blue blood all women's college basketball blue bloods is back in the Final Four. UConn will be searching for their 12th National Championship and their first since 2016.

UConn knocked off the No. 1 seeded USC Trojans in the Elite Eight to advance to the Final Four. Led by Paige Bueckers, the Huskies are now 33-5 but had to advance through their region as a No. 3 seed.

UConn is still a significant underdog at +800 to take home the title despite only being a slight underdog to Iowa. That is likely due to sportsbooks' liability on Iowa to win the title.
