Contenders offering underlay odds to win the National Championship
Georgia Bulldogs +232
The schedule, like every season, is a cakewalk but UGA must play this season without the leader of their team, Stetson Bennett. Also, although four players along the offensive line have starters experience, the O-line won’t be as dominant, which means the Dawgs must count on their rushing attack, which could pose issues.
Beating Auburn, Kentucky, Ole Miss, and Tennessee will be more difficult than many realize. And even if Georgia makes it to the SEC Championship, Bama or LSU should be waiting for them.
Fair Odds: +550 | Bet Georgia Bulldogs to Win
MyBookie Betting Lines for the Championship
Alabama Crimson Tide +580
Alabama doesn’t know who their starting quarterback will be this season. Jalen Milroe has the most starting experience, but Kelvin Sampson has the better pocket presence and can throw a more accurate deep ball.
No matter who starts under center, the Crimson Tide will find it difficult to win the SEC West. Ole Miss will be a decent team. LSU has the chance of being great.
Fair Odds: +1000 | Bet Alabama Crimson Tide to Win

Ohio State Buckeyes +650
Like Bama, the Buckeyes must replace their starting quarterback from last season. Kyle McCord could end up the starter. Is McCord good enough to lead the offense?
It’s a legit question. Also, Paris Johnson Jr. is now in the NFL. So McCord won’t have the same excellent pass protection that C.J. Stroud got.
Fair Odds: +1200 | Bet Ohio State Buckeyes to Win

Clemson Tigers +1750
Clemson will be a good team, but they won’t dominate. Also, the schedule is deep with quality opponents this season, which will make it hard for Clemson to win the ACC.
Duke, Florida State, Miami, North Carolina, North Carolina State, and Notre Dame can all beat Clemson. Even if Clemson loses 2-of-6, they will not qualify for the ACC Championship, much less the CFP.
Fair Odds: +2400 | Bet Clemson Tigers to Win

Teams offering overlay odds to win the National Championship
Michigan Wolverines +1000
Michigan should be second choice to win the National Championship. Running back Blake Corum returns. So does quarterback J.J. McCarthy.
The offensive line has a ton of experience. The defense is loaded at every level, especially at secondary where Will Johnson has all-American potential.
Fair Odds: +750 | Bet Michigan Wolverines to Win

USC Trojans +1475
Lincoln Riley continues to use the transfer portal to rebuild USC’s program. Riley has created a deeper offensive line which will protect Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams.
Riley also transferred Bear Alexander, a defensive lineman who played at Georgia last season, and a lot of other very good defenders. USC is a veteran team with a lot of depth. The Trojans should easily win the Pac-12.
Fair Odds: +950 | Bet USC Trojans to Win

LSU Tigers +1650
So, let’s get this straight. LSU won the SEC West last season, quarterback Jayden Daniels returns, the Tigers’ best defender, Harold Perkins Jr., returns, it’s Brian Kelly’s second season in Baton Rouge, and LSU offers higher odds than Bama to win the title?
It doesn’t make sense, right? If fair odds on Bama is +1000, fair odds on LSU is +900.
Fair Odds: +900 | Bet LSU Tigers to Win

Florida State Seminoles +1825
The Seminoles open the season versus LSU. Even if they lose, FSU will remain in the hunt for the National Championship.
The only other difficult game on the schedule has Florida State traveling to Death Valley to take on Clemson on Sep. 23. North Carolina isn’t on the schedule and Florida won’t be great without Anthony Richardson under center.
If FSU beats LSU, they could go undefeated during the regular season.
Fair Odds: +1100 | Bet Florida State Seminoles to Win
