The Alabama Football ‘A Game’ is scheduled for April 12th, and with the recent cancellations of Spring Games around college football, you have to wonder if this could be the last for the Crimson Tide program.

After some time to regroup from an underwhelming 2024 campaign, buzz is circulating in Tuscaloosa for the chance to see the team take the field and kickstart what should be an exciting 2025 season.

Many sportsbooks have offered odds on some of the top FBS programs despite the regular season kickoff still being over six months out. Let’s take a look at the futures odds and best bets to make while the offseason lingers on.

Alabama CFP national champions odds

You’ll want to wager with FanDuel Sportsbook if you’re planning to back the Crimson Tide to win it all. The Crimson Tide has +1600 odds there and the eighth-best odds of winning it all– Ohio State has the best with +600 odds.

Alabama did a great job of retaining plenty of returning talent, especially on the defensive side of the football. Key contributors such as LT Overton, Domani Jackson, and Deonte Lawson will all be back in Tuscaloosa this fall helping the defense perform at a high level.

This upcoming season of college football is a bit of a crapshoot when wagering, as five of the top eight teams in the championship odds are starting a new quarterback in 2025. Many teams have experienced quarterbacks under center through the transfer portal, but this time all eight teams are projected to start someone who was on their 2024 roster.

Fans of the Crimson Tide are used to having championship expectations, it’s why a 9-4 season is leaving a bad taste in their mouths. However, the conference realignment has made it more difficult to get there. To be the best you have to beat the best, and Alabama will have their hands full trying to navigate through a conference that has plenty of competition at the top.

The 2025 campaign starts August 30th when Alabama travels to Florida State to take on the Seminoles. Mike Norvell and company are also looking for a bounce-back season after the team went 2-10 and was disastrous offensively.

Alabama’s current total wins line can be found between 8.5 to 9.5. So, oddsmakers aren’t expecting the team to dominate but seem confident that they can put together a strong season.

Those looking to bet on the Crimson Tide to win a National Championship should definitely consider putting in a bid. DeBoer’s offensive system is very explosive, and the returning talent on defense will be extremely valuable. In year with so much turnover, Alabama looks like a serious threat to make some noise.

Alabama SEC Conference winner odds

Surprisingly few sportsbooks are offering conference winner odds, but the best value to bet on the Crimson Tide to take home the SEC title is +750 with bet365. They have the fourth-highest odds in the conference trailing just Texas (+200), Georgia (+400), and Tennessee (+700).

It gets said every season, but the SEC is truly up for grabs this year. Last year’s finalists, Texas and Georgia, are replacing their starting quarterbacks. One misstep when replacing the most important position on a team could result in some issues.

However, Alabama has that concern as well. Jalen Milroe heads to the NFL, leaving the Crimson Tide’s quarterback position up for grabs with the two lead contenders believed to be Ty Simpson and Austin Mack. Operating in Kalen DeBoer’s offense, the passing game will be a critical function of the team’s efficiency. So, whoever is under center will have plenty of pressure to perform.

Sitting behind Alabama in the odds is LSU and Ole Miss. Both teams who have made plenty of noise in the transfer portal with key additions that could help boost their roster for a potential run at the SEC. LSU’s quarterback Garrett Nussmeier is the odds-on favorite to win the Heisman trophy. Alabama may have some competition in the standings if he is performing at that level,

Alabama’s path to the title game won’t be easy, as they kick off conference play on the road against the Georgia Bulldogs. However, they do avoid teams such as Texas and Ole Miss for the 2025 regular season slate.

Now could be a great time if you’re looking to bet on the Crimson Tide to win the SEC. The odds will likely decrease if either quarterback shines during the Spring. DeBoer has proven himself to be a high level coach who helped Washington reach the title game in 2023-2024. The confidence surrounding him is still very high, and that confidence should only increase from oddsmakers after the inevitable spring hype.
