College football bets are gaining traction as fans analyze the futures odds that have been available for months. For those placing wagers now, they are stepping into a landscape that has already seen extensive scrutiny.
To illustrate, imagine a popular retail store hosting a massive sale starting at 9 a.m. If someone arrives at 7 p.m., their chances of finding a sought-after item may be slim.
However, hidden treasures often remain for those who are diligent in their search.
This means that a few futures still stand out as intriguing options, so let’s explore them.
Missouri to make College Football Playoff
Apart from matchups against Alabama and Oklahoma, Missouri boasts one of the easiest schedules in the SEC, and perhaps the nation.
The Tigers return nine offensive starters, including quarterback Brady Cook and standout wide receiver Luther Burden.
For Missouri to secure a playoff spot, they may need a bit of chaos to unfold, such as an upset over Alabama, which is currently in a state of flux, or Oklahoma, which some analysts believe may be overrated.
Time to place a wager.
Florida State to make College Football Playoff
Following a remarkable regular season that was overshadowed by the unfortunate season-ending injury to Jordan Travis, Florida State is well-positioned to compete for a spot in the upcoming 12-team playoff.
New quarterback DJ Uiagalelei, who has transferred from both Clemson and Oregon State, is stepping into a prime opportunity. The chaos created by Clemson’s handling of the transfer portal has turned into a significant advantage for the Seminoles, likely propelling them to a conference title and playoff berth.
Carson Beck (Georgia) to win the Heisman
Currently, the frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy is 23-year-old Dillon Gabriel, who is on his third collegiate team. Despite impressive statistics and a potential undefeated record, he may not resonate with voters.
In contrast, Beck’s Georgia Bulldogs are poised for an undefeated season, and he is already being touted as a likely first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Betting on Beck could be a wise choice at this stage.
At this betting line, he represents a valuable opportunity.
