Playoff Odds
It’s getting closer; day by day, hour by hour…the college football season will be upon us before we know it. In the meantime there are still plenty of betting options to discuss before teams take to the field the opening weekend of September. Bovada unveiled their odds to make the college football playoff earlier this week offering prices on a handful of high power programs with YES/NO propositions. Unfortunately for fans of the college football upstarts (you know who you are Vols and Razorbacks fans), the investment opportunities aren’t there yet for your programs however there’s always a chance other teams get added to the mix once the season gets rolling.
The biggest takeaway for me from this short list is that there’s only one team in the entire land EXPECTED to make the college football playoff…and it should be no surprise that honor is bestowed on the defending national champion Ohio State Buckeyes given they’ll be double digit favorites every time they take to the field in 2015. As always the NO prices offer considerably more value with so many of these teams needing to avoid the injury bug, scheduling landmines, and of course the committee to get into the college football postseason.
You’ll also notice 2 special bets included on the menu at Bovada regarding a potential 2 loss team’s inclusion in the playoff and the prospects of one conference sending 2 representatives. College football games might still be a few months away but that doesn’t mean you can’t start betting on (or against) your favorite teams wherever you find that edge.
