2018 Odds To Win NCAA National Championship

With the 2018 College Football Season due to begin, many squads will be vying to win the national championship. Last year was a thriller as overtime was required to declare a national champion between two teams from the same conference. This year, a similar action is expected to transpire. Here are our insights and breakdown of the best favorite, contender, and dark horse to hoist the gold in Santa Clara. The betting odds to win the National Championship this season have been provided by Bet365.

ODDS TO WIN THE NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP TOP FAVORITE

ALABAMA +225

Compared to what we saw Alabama offered at last year in the opening of this market, there is actually a tad more value on the Tide given the fact they enter as a defending National Champion in contrast to a team that lost on the final play of regulation against Clemson in the 2016-17 edition of the college football season. The fact remains no team in college football knows how to navigate the post-season better than Alabama, and there is arguably no greater coach in the history of the sport than their skipper Nick Saban. Given the fact Alabama does not require juice here this blue-chip option provides a higher level of equity than usual.

GEORGIA +800

The Dawgs have a motivational angle to work with here that makes them a dangerous threat to once again contend for the national crown. The Dawgs come in off the heels of what was a magical season when a dramatic double-overtime victory over Oklahoma sent UGA to play for its first title in nearly 40 years. The Dawgs relinquished a 13-point lead in the National Championship Game and even then, only lost in overtime by virtue of a long ball. With much of the core talent returning on both sides of the football along with the top recruiting class in America, the Dawgs have a favorable schedule that sets them on a course to once again qualify for the playoff and finish the drill.

NOTRE DAME +3300

Last year Notre Dame emerged on the national radar until they were bumped off when they were thumped on the road against by the Miami Hurricanes in Coral Gables. The talk of the town is whether or not signal caller Brandon Wimbush can emerge as a true College Football Playoff-caliber quarterback. In fairness, he did a great job managing the game for the Golden Domes in 2017 as the Irish played one of the most rugged dockets in all of the FBS. With sound defensive play to serve as the anchor of Notre Dame’s approach, the Irish can once again emerge in the playoff discussion if they can successfully get through an ACC-focused schedule. The good news is most of their games of consequence will be in South Bend. As a whole, the Irish historically have exceptional acumen as a team in high-stakes affairs as they are second to only Alabama in National Championships to their program’s credit. At this price, there is indeed value for the taking.
