Based purely on seeds, this is the most unlikely national championship game ever. UConn is a 7-seed and Kentucky is an 8-seed. He gave UConn a 2% chance of making the final game before the tournament, and Kentucky a 4% chance.
The Vegas sportsbooks have Kentucky as a 2.5-point favorite.
Silver says it's dead even, so you could get some value by betting on UConn.
