Florida is still the sexy pick to go the distance. Now that the teams comprising the Final Four are in place, the Gators' chances seem better than ever.

Kentucky is a great story and such a fun team to watch. Consisting of a plethora of freshman, the Wildcats continue to mature with each contest.

Wisconsin and Connecticut have the worst odds for a reason—each are underdogs this week. Both are playing teams riding big hot streaks and will have a tough time advancing from here. Bet with caution.

Who would've thought that Florida would be playing Kentucky in the national championship?

Well, that's exactly what's about to happen.

Florida has been the most dominant team in the 2014 NCAA tournament. The Gators are an extremely well-rounded team. They are versatile on the offensive end and stout defensively.

Connecticut has been impressive—especially after beating a strong Michigan State team. Shabazz Napier continues to play some dazzling basketball.

The last time these teams met, the Huskies defeated the Gators on a buzzer-beater by Napier. Expect Florida to be out for revenge and get the win this time around.

There's no denying how incredible of a run the Wildcats have made this year. They just defeated three Final Four teams from the previous season in consecutive games. That's impressive.

Wisconsin got off to a hot start this year, defeating teams in decisive fashion. The Badgers nearly met their match against Arizona in the Elite Eight, but squeezed out a one-point victory.

Although Wisconsin is a strong team, slowing down the Wildcats will be a daunting task. Expect Kentucky's young lineup to continue to show its rapid maturation and come away with yet another huge win.
