Latest Playoff Odds for Alabama and Other At-Large Teams
Tuscaloosa, AL - The Alabama Crimson Tide finished its regular season with a 9-3 record, and is hopeful to make the first 12-team College Football Playoffs, but might need some help.
Betting lines are available for fans to wager on who they think earns the final playoff spot, and Las Vegas seems to think the Crimson Tide has the best chance of all to earn the final playoff spot.
Before revealing the odds, I want to explain betting lines for those who may be unfamiliar. If a team has minus odds (eg. -100) that means they are favored to do whatever it is they are betting on. For example, if Alabama is -100 to beat Auburn, then the Crimson Tide is favored to defeat the Tigers.
If a team has plus odds (+100), then they are the underdog in that scenario. If Ole Miss is +100 to make the College Football Playoffs, then they are likely to miss the playoffs.
With that being said, the Crimson Tide is tied as the betting favorite to make the College Football Playoffs as one of the remaining at-large bids.
The Crimson Tide is -250 odds to make the College Football Playoffs. Alabama has better odds (-250) to make the playoffs than miss them (+190)
The second betting favorite SMU, who is playing against Clemson in the ACC Championship Game. SMU is -230 to make the College Football Playoffs, and +176 to miss the playoffs.
The full list of teams with odds are Alabama, South Carolina, SMU, Ole Miss, Miami, and Army.
