Vegas odds stacked against Wisconsin as the Badgers get Frozen Four 'underdog' label

The Wisconsin Badgers are officially the underdogs of the Frozen Four, according to Vegas. FanDuel has the odds to win the whole thing out on their site, and the Badgers have officially the worst odds to take home the championship. As of the day before, Wisconsin was set at +500 odds to win the trophy. Michigan has the best odds at +165, followed by the team that the Badgers have to play tomorrow, North Dakota. The final team, Denver, comes in at +280 odds.

It's not the only place that Wisconsin is seen as the underdog in the Frozen Four. They are also the underdogs in the matchup against North Dakota.

Wisconsin is at +500 to win the National Championship and the Frozen Four

Wisconsin is the underdog in the first matchup against North Dakota, but only slightly, with a 1.5 spread in favor of the Fighting Hawks. The over/under is set at 5.5 for the game. Which means that Vegas is predicting a final score of around 3-2 with North Dakota advancing.

You can assume that if Wisconsin were set to advance, they would be the underdogs in the next game, too. They hold the lowest odds to win it all. And Vegas isn't sold on the magic that got the Badgers to the Frozen Four.

This won't bother Wisconsin; they've had naysayers all year long and for every game so far in this tournament. In fact, the underdog chip may be just what they need to keep the juices flowing and to keep the narrative going that Wisconsin is the 'David' and every other team is Goliath.

No matter how the game turns out, the Badgers have had a successful season, and making it to the Frozen Four again was a huge victory for Mike Hastings. However, Wisconsin doesn't feel as if they are done, and the players and team are hungry for more.

The game is set for April 9th in Las Vegas, Nevada at 4pm CT airing on ESPN2.
