Georgia is the +220 favorite to capture a historic third straight national title ???? this season. But are bettors rushing to back the Bulldogs to win it all again? Not quite, as Georgia is outside the top 5 in both tickets and handle. Let’s check out the teams that made the cut for each category.
MOST POPULAR CFB TITLE BETS BY TICKETS:
1. Florida State (+1600) 10.1%
The Seminoles won the last title of the BCS era back in 2013, can they do it in the final year of the 4-team College Football Playoff?
2. Michigan (+700) 9.4%
The Wolverines are the only team to have a QB (J.J. McCarthy +1600) and RB (Blake Corum +3000) with Heisman odds of +5000 or lower.
3. LSU (+1000) 8.3%
Pretty wild that two of the top-3 teams in national title bets square off in Week 1.
4. Alabama (+600) 6.9%
If the Crimson Tide don’t win it all this season, this would be the first time in Nick Saban’s tenure that they’ll have gone three straight years without a title.
5. Colorado (+10000) 6.3%
I don’t even think Netflix ???? would buy this script.
MOST POPULAR CFB TITLE BETS BY HANDLE:
1. Michigan (+700) 17.1%
The Wolverines have also captured the second-most money to win a conference title (+165), only behind Texas for Big 12 (-110).
2. Penn State (+2000) 15.3%
Big Ten teams take up the top two spots, yet Ohio State ranks 14th in handle (2.3%) ????.
3. Florida State (+1600) 12.4%
While Florida State has lower national title odds than Clemson, the Tigers (+145) actually edge out the Seminoles (+155) as ACC title favorites.
4. LSU (+1000) 8.9%
The Tigers have received more handle to win the national title than Alabama (3.2%) and Georgia (2.8%) combined ????.
5. Clemson (+1700) 7.4%
We just saw what Garrett Riley did in his only season as TCU OC with Max Duggan. Can he work similar magic with Cade Klubnik?
