2024 College Football Future Bets Worth an Early Investment

There is confusion in college football leading to the new 2024 season.

Conferences go coast to coast; if they endured realignment the transfer portal just inverted many rosters and half of all the head coaches responsible for all save four of the past fifteen national championships are no longer head coaches.

The lawlessness of the sport creating anarchy is good for the bettors who are looking for high-value futures bets.

To quote Billy Napier, the Louisiana head coach, his lifetime mantra was “Scared money don’t make money – but do not think that would make this analyst an advocate for betting on the Florida Gators at +2000 to make the playoffs while Napier is the head man. And that ranks the Bulls ninth in the Sunshine State for the odds to make the 12-team format.

ALABAMA TO WIN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP (+1500): BETMGM , BETESPN , FANDUEL

Whenever the clock went zero towards the 2023 SEC Championship Game, then Georgia deserve to be the favorite to win the next year’s national championship. And quite right, the Bulldogs are the surest bet for the futures market to win the national title as exhibited by the +300 in most standard terminals. Only Ohio State is in the same neighborhood with all others ranging from +300 (BetRivers, Bally) to +400.

However, in terms of finding the value in getting the largest amount of cash, Georgia’s SEC rival, Alabama, at +1500, is the best option. First-year head coach Kalen DeBoer is standing in maybe the longest shadow ever cast in the sport’s history of Nick Saban . Still, DeBoer has found a way to become a winner wherever he has been and has INSTANT success.

Being a fan of Saban is derived from or arriving into a team that has been loaded with talent, including Jalen Milroe in the quarterback position. However, thanks to the sturdy schedule and high first-year debut as the Crimson Tide’s starter, as well as DeBoer’s propensity for enhancing a quarterback, Milroe has +1500 to win the Heisman Trophy is definitely worth considering.

Three games are ahead of us with a Sept. 28 face-off with Georgia, a repetition of theSEC Championship game. Should Alabama stand its ground at home, the Tide have on what is on paper, a more forgiving schedule than Georgia’s (at Texas, at Ole Miss) for the remainder of season.

COLORADO UNDER 5. 5 WINS (+120): They include BETMGM, DRAFTKINGS

Admit it: A year ago, specifically at this time of the year, you were discussing Deion Sanders and Colorado. Perhaps Sanders joking about players being sent to the transfer portal as misfit furniture was a liberating truth to other inflated narratives other coaches sell. Maybe you considered it as a show-off of your current status in life, a behavior which they expected a leader not to exhibit.

Either way, Colorado football was briefly feted around the country, and hadn’t been in this manner for about 20 years. But going 8-of-9 in the final weeks of 2023, the on-field performance was similar to that Buffs bag with fake Louis Vatton labels.

Colorado goes into 2024 with their man, and that man is generational offense and defense talent Travis Hunter. Sheduer Sanders was spectacular at times and has already been rumored to possibly be a first round draft pick for the NFL. But CU’s biggest questions arise from the duo: To what extent can the Buffs bring pressure on Hunter and guarantee he wouldn’t get tired, and to what extent would the team manage to protect Sanders and ensure he would not get sacked frequently?

Fade on both lines troubled CU in the end, which can be seen in the Buffs defense conceded 176. Average 4 rushing yard per game (Rank 110) and the offense giving 56 sacks. Even in that case, they opted only Old Dominion to surrender a worse offense. Depth on both lines is still a problem.

They are deep, important questions to ask and a reasonable way of wondering exactly how prepared Deion Sanders is to cultivate sides capable of claiming select triumphs. All four CUs won from the sub-. 500 teams in 2023 and they went on to finish the season with identical records of 7-8-1. 500. Some of his Jackson State’s teams were dreadful in Celebration Bowls even though they had overwhelming firepower per recruiting score. Bringing the Buffs to the program’s first. end of the year in the 500-or-better range since 2016 will require eradicating numerous unfavorable Septembers.

We might get an idea of how realistic it is by the end of Week 3 after CU has played an opening stretch UNLV, FCS national-title contender North Dakota State and Nebraska and Colorado State on the road.

APPALACHIAN STATE TO MAKE THE PLAYOFF (+1400): FANDUEL(199)

Feeling especially spicy? With the new Playoff guarantee of a spot for the winner of the Group of Five conference, one can start dreaming of the mountaineers. The Mountaineers have faced and played many ranked power-conference opponents close in September – Miami and North Carolina in 2021 and 2023, Texas A&M in 2022, and West Virginia plays Clemson in Week 2 of this season.

The South edition, Liberty at +440 has the second-best Group of Five Playoffs odds only behind Boise State at +400, plays at Boone on Sept. 28. The favourite for the Sun Belt Conference receives that non-conference date in a effort to build a Playoff in the league schedule.

It’s a third rail, but based on Joey Aguilar to Kaedin Robinson through the air, there is not a more enjoyable team to jump on as a 2024 underdog.
