According to the model used by Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight.com, Kentucky has a 53% chance to become champions, with Duke as the next most-likely team at just 22%.

Meanwhile, in the women's tourney, Connecticut is being given a 79% chance to win it all. None of the other teams - all No. 1 seeds - have more than a 10% chance to win.
