A Look at Betting Alabama Odds for the 2024 NCAA Season

But with a revamped coaching staff and a hungry SEC landscape, are betting Alabama odds still a sure bet for championship glory?

Among the traditional college football powers, no team went through as significant of a change as the Alabama Crimson Tide.

The greatest coach in college football history, Nick Saban, retired from the sport. Instead of hiring from inside the SEC, Bama handed the reigns of the most storied program in college football history to former Washington head coach Kalen DeBoer.

Is Bama a betting favorite to win the 2025 College Football Playoff NCAA Championship?

2024 Alabama Crimson Tide Football Team | 130th Season of the NCAA gridiron action | 1st season of Kalen DeBoer Head Coach

No team went through as massive of a change after the 2023-2024 NCAA College Football Season as the Alabama Crimson Tide.

The Tide heads into the 2024-2025 season without head coach Nick Saban, arguably the greatest college football HC, even greater than Bear Bryant, in history.

Will the lack of Saban ball effect Bama’s chances of winning the CFB National Championship?

What will the fresh look Alabama squad do this season?

Alabama Crimson Tide Season Preview

The earthquake change in Tuscaloosa had nothing to do with players. It had everything to do with Bama going outside of the SEC to hire their next football coach. Former Washington HC Kalen DeBoer is the new head coach at Alabama.

DeBoer brings an exciting offensive mind and ability to motivate players to the Bama program. The offense in Tuscaloosa should be as good as it has been.

The question is on the defensive side where DeBoer’s Washington teams tended to fall flat against better offensive opponents.

DeBoer’s ability to maintain Saban’s consistent level of excellence will be the key to Bama’s season.

Check out changes on offense and defense along with Alabama college football betting odds and analysis. 

Alabama Crimson Tide Changes on Offense

DeBoer transferred a couple of key players from his Washington team to Tuscaloosa. The first is wide receiver Germaine Bernard.

Bernard lived the shadow of Rome Odunze last season. Few wide receivers in the nation didn’t considering Odunze was a first round NFL Draft pick.

Bernard has talent and DeBoer knows how to get the most out of Bernard’s talent.

Offensive line center Parker Brailsford is a massive pick up for Bama. Brailsford knows DeBoer’s O-line cues. DeBoer’s O-line movement was the key to Washington’s success.

So Brailsford will be a line captain that immediately makes the Tide offense one of the best in the nation.

The Bama head coach is going to get the most he can out of Jalen Milroe. DeBoer helped Michael Penix become a first round NFL Draft pick and Heisman Trophy contender.

We should expect DeBoer to do the same for Milroe. 

Alabama Crimson Tide Changes on Defense

The defensive side is where Bama could struggle. The problem is that Alabama lost arguably the top defensive back in college football to Ohio State, Caleb Downs.

As a freshman, Downs was instrumental in leading the Alabama defense. He was fantastic in the SEC Championship when facing Carson Beck and the Georgia Bulldogs.

The defense won’t be horrible, but it may not be SEC standards, which could be a problem.

USC transfer Domani Jackson and Michigan transfer Keon Saab are decent players.

But, again, teams in the Big Ten and former Pac 12 doesn’t play defense the same way teams in the SEC do.

Bama’s D has a massive question mark.

Alabama Crimson Tide Schedule Analysis

Win Total Odds

• Over 9.5 +120
• Under 9.5 -140

The schedule is no cakewalk. Although Bama doesn’t have to play Texas, Ole Miss, or Texas A&M this season, the Tide have a tough road game in week 2 versus the Wisconsin Badgers.

The Badgers will be much improved from last season. A loss is possible.

There are also land mine games like taking on Georgia at home, on the road against rival LSU, a trip to Tennessee to take on the Volunteers, and a road trip to Oklahoma.

Losing 3 games is a legit possibility given Bama’s projected defensive woes. The Tide go 9-3 during the regular season. So under is the play.

Alabama Crimson Tide SEC Odds +900

The odds on the Crimson Tide are decent. But Alabama must get by Georgia, Texas, and Ole Miss to secure the SEC title.

It’s difficult seeing any team beating Kirby Smart’s Georgia team.

The Dawgs are loaded this season on both sides of the ball and are, no pun intended, still smarting after being locked out of last season’s College Football Playoff.

Texas is also loaded. So is Ole Miss where Lane Kiffin has the best overall squad he’s ever had in Mississippi. Don’t back Bama to win the SEC.   

Alabama Crimson Tide Odds to Win the National Championship +1400

Alabama could make the College Football Playoff. If that happens, watch out.

The expanded CFP mans that Alabama mustn’t win the SEC to score a trip to the playoff.

The key will be if Alabama can win at least 9 to 10 games. 9 wins should be in the bag. The tenth win could be an issue.

If you believe Alabama wins the tenth game, then perhaps a small bet on them to take the CFP at +1400 makes sense. If not, then stay on the sidelines.

We don’t know the cut off, but 2 losses seems like the max allowable.

Alabama’s D will be a liability early in the season. Unfortunately, Bama faces Georgia, Wisconsin, and is at Tennessee before October 20.

So we think 3 losses is a sure thing, which means playing against Bama to win the National Championship is the call.
