College Football Playoff (CFP) championship odds are now focused on the exciting quarterfinal matchups set to take place on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
Among these thrilling contests, one standout wager involves a $5 ticket that could yield a staggering return of nearly $100,000.
Confidence in the Bulldogs
The last piece needed for this bet to succeed is for Georgia to clinch the national title.
Should the Bulldogs triumph, the bettor’s initial five-dollar stake would balloon to an impressive $94,234, reflecting astronomical odds of +1884680, or roughly 18847/1.
The other eight components of this ambitious parlay are:
- UConn men’s basketball capturing the Big East regular-season title
- Purdue men’s basketball winning the Big Ten regular-season championship
- Eastern Conference clinching the NHL’s Stanley Cup (Florida’s victory)
- Kansas City Chiefs emerging as Super Bowl champions
- Jannik Sinner taking home the U.S. Open men’s tennis title
- Los Angeles Dodgers winning the World Series
- Boston Celtics claiming the NBA Finals championship
- Manchester City securing the FA Cup title
With only eight teams remaining in the CFP, DraftKings lists Georgia as a +500 co-fourth favorite, sharing this spot with Penn State in the race for the national championship.
Georgia is set to face Notre Dame on Wednesday night in the Sugar Bowl. If the Bulldogs, currently 1-point favorites, advance, they will encounter either Boise State or Penn State in the semifinals.
Additional Potential Payouts
In another intriguing scenario, DraftKings is also monitoring a $35 five-leg parlay that hinges on the Nittany Lions capturing the CFP championship. This wager boasts substantial odds of +464273 (approximately 4643/1), with a prospective profit of $162,495.55.
The initial four legs of this parlay have already been secured:
- UConn men’s basketball reaching the Final Four
- Dodgers winning the World Series
- Scottie Scheffler clinching the Masters
- Boston Celtics winning the Eastern Conference
When this bet was placed, Penn State was considered a long shot at +2500 to win the title. Currently, DraftKings has adjusted their odds to +500, reflecting their position among the eight remaining teams.
As mentioned earlier, the Nittany Lions are set to battle Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl on Tuesday night. They enter the game as 12-point favorites, and a victory would lead them to face Georgia or Notre Dame in the semifinals.
At FanDuel Sportsbook, a $6 six-leg parlay has the potential to yield nearly $37,000 in profit, contingent on an Oregon championship.
The first five legs of this parlay include:
- UConn men’s basketball winning the national title
- South Carolina women’s basketball winning the national title
- Scheffler winning the Masters
- Celtics winning the NBA Finals
- Dodgers winning the World Series
FanDuel currently has Oregon as the +480 third choice to win the national title. The Ducks face a challenging quarterfinal matchup against Ohio State on New Year’s Day.
Oregon enters the Rose Bowl as a 2.5-point underdog. If they manage to secure a victory, they would then face Texas or Arizona State in the CFP semifinals.
Chasing One Million Dollars
- Celtics to win the NBA Finals
- Florida Panthers to clinch the Stanley Cup
- Dodgers to win the World Series
- Texas to claim the College Football Playoff title
- Detroit Lions to win the Super Bowl
If all these outcomes materialize, the bettor stands to gain a remarkable profit of $1.074 million, with long odds of +214833, or 2148/1.
Currently, DraftKings lists Texas as the +320 favorite to win the national title, with the Longhorns favored by 12.5 points in their upcoming Peach Bowl against Arizona State.
If Texas progresses, they will encounter either Ohio State or Oregon in the semifinals.
