Handicapping 2023 NCAA Football Championship Futures
Looking for 2023 College Football Championship Futures Betting Lines & Expert Picks? The student became the master in 2022 when Kirby Smart’s Georgia Bulldogs took down his mentor Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide in convincing fashion to cap an exciting College Football Playoff National Championship. Oddsmakers however aren’t convinced a the reins have been fully turned over, as Alabama is a slight favorite over their SEC rival to claim the title back when the dust settles in 2023.
2023 CFB National Championship Futures Review
Here’s a closer look at the odds for the top five teams in the hunt for the national title this year, and a few others that may present some value.
2023 College Football Championship Futures Betting Lines: Alabama Crimson Tide +325
It’s strange to say, but looking at Alabama’s opening price, there may actually be some value in getting behind the Tide this far out from the start of the season.
Nick Saban’s program returns Heisman winner Bryce Young along with top talent Will Anderson, while the holes created by players turning pro will be filled by an all-time 2021 recruiting class, coupled with transfer portal newcomers who should make an immediate impact in former Georgia Tech running back Jahmyr Gibbs, and former LSU cornerback Eli Ricks. The Tide seem poised to remain a staple of the College Football Playoff.
2023 College Football Championship Futures Betting Lines: Georgia Bulldogs +350
There’s a lot of shine on the Bulldogs right now, but Kirby Smart faces a tall order in trying to get Georgia back to the pinnacle of the college football world.
The offense will remain largely intact, but the team will take a slew of hits on the other side of the ball, needing to replace the majority of their defensive starters. There’s certainly a lot of talent in the pipeline, but there’ll be an adjustment period and an inevitable step back for this squad – though they may still be good enough for a CFP berth.
2023 College Football Championship Futures Betting Lines: Ohio State Buckeyes +700
While the SEC co-favorites remain atop the mountain, the program in the best position to unseat those powerhouses is Ohio State. Oddsmakers haven’t missed out on that fact and priced them accordingly, but bettors feeling sheepish on the 2022 title game teams should first look to Columbus when placing their futures bets. The team’s wide receiver room took a hit with a pair of first-round talents turning pro, but C.J. Stroud’s arsenal of pass catchers remains strong, and TreVeyon Henderson returns at running back in what will be an explosive offense. Jim Knowles should help the defense keep up and live up to expectations after a disappointing 2021 campaign.
2023 College Football Championship Futures Betting Lines: Clemson +1200
A thoroughly disappointing season in Death Valley and an overhaul of the coaching staff will make for an interesting 2022 at Clemson. Dabo Swinney’s defense should be the strength of this team in 2022, but it’s the offense that will have all eyes on it as that unit will need to keep up with the defense to get this team back into the CFP discussion, with all eyes on DJ Uiagalelei.
2023 College Football Championship Futures Betting Lines: Michigan Wolverines +1200
The Jim Harbaugh rumors have been swirling since the coach earned an early exit from the CFP, but the NFL rumors will likely end up being posturing for an increased salary and tenure in Ann Arbor, with the Wolverines seeing a very friendly schedule on tap in 2022, leading to a make-or-break game at Ohio State to close out the regular season.
2023 College Football Championship Futures Betting Lines: Notre Dame Fighting Irish +2000
A memorable season at Notre Dame saw the team overachieve and, short of a disappointing ending, nearly claim a berth in the College Football Playoff. Now they’ll look to reclaim the momentum they had under new head coach Marcus Freeman, and they’ll need to do so quickly with a trip to Ohio State on tap for Week 1.
2023 College Football Championship Futures Betting Lines: USC Trojans +3300
With Lincoln Riley coming to Southern Cal, all eyes are back on the Trojans’ quarterback position, with Caleb Williams likely to join Riley in L.A. That move alone could provide the shot in the arm this program’s needed for years.
