Early 2023 college football national championship odds

An early look at the 2023 CFP contenders.

The 2023 college football season may be months away, but it is never too early to take a look at the expected contenders. FanDuel has released national championship odds for the season.

Georgia is the heavy favorite as the Bulldogs look to make it three straight titles in 2023. Fellow SEC rival Alabama follows Georgia as the Crimson Tide looks to take the crown back. Each squad is going to break in a new quarterback as Stetson Bennett and Bryce Young are NFL bound.

Ohio State and Michigan are next up on the list representing the Big Ten. Both teams qualified for the playoff last season and hope for return appearances. Ohio State was a field goal away from taking down Georgia in the semifinals.

USC just missed the playoff a season ago. With Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams returning, the Trojans look to qualify for their first playoffs.

Here is a look at each team receiving national championship odds according to FanDuel.

Auburn opens as double digit favorite over Kentucky in 2020 opener

Auburn will look to extend its winning streak over Kentucky to three straight games.

Earlier on Monday, Auburn and head coach Gus Malzahn found out its season-opening opponent in the Kentucky Wildcats.

Just a bit later, the lines were already out by some sports books for the game with the Tigers favored by 11 points against Mark Stoops’ side.

Projected SEC opening lines for Sept. 26 via the great @_Collin1

Texas A&M -37 Vanderbilt
LSU -26 Miss. State
Georgia -24 at Arkansas
Alabama -19½ at Missouri
Auburn -11 Kentucky
Florida -8 at Ole Miss
South Carolina Pk Tennessee

The game is set for Sept. 26 in Jordan-Hare Stadium. Auburn holds a 26-6-1 overall record in the series and have won two straight, both coming in Lexington.

Texas football remains underdogs to LSU and Oklahoma per BetMGM

BetMGM has released odds for both the LSU and Oklahoma games this season and Texas comes in as underdogs. You can see the lines here:

Texas’ two biggest games of the season will once again be against LSU and Oklahoma. Losing to both the Tigers and Sooners in 2019, the Longhorns will be looking to bounce back in 2020. It will be a tougher test this year, as Texas will be traveling to Baton Rouge to face the defending national champions, while the annual Red River Shootout will remain in the famous Cotton Bowl.

BetMGM has released odds for both those games this season and Tom Herman will find his squad as underdogs. Here are the lines:

Texas (+5) @ LSU
Texas (+2.5) vs Oklahoma

Since Herman took over in 2017, Texas have been underdogs 17 times. The Longhorns have an 11-5-1 record against the spread in those games and are 6-11 straight up in those games, including losing five in a row before defeating Utah in the Alamo Bowl.

Part of the five-game losing streak as underdogs were to LSU and Oklahoma last season.

As for the rest of Texas’ schedule in the Big 12, BetMGM pegs the Longhorns as heavy favorites against five other opponents. Coming in as double-digit favorites against Baylor, Iowa State, TCU, Texas Tech, and West Virginia, Texas is expected to run through the conference with ease.

Texas (-20.5) vs West Virginia
Texas (-11.5) @ Texas Tech
Texas (-13.5) vs Baylor
Texas (-13.5) vs TCU
Texas (-10.5) vs Iowa State

Odds via BetMGM. Access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday, April 14, 2020, at 3:45 p.m. ET.

Losing to Baylor, Iowa State, and TCU last season, Texas will be looking for revenge. Vegas thinks they will not only avenge their losses from last season but do it in a relatively comfortable fashion.

Coming in as three-touchdown favorites to West Virginia is the most eye-popping line out of the five. Despite the 11 point win in Morgantown last season, the Longhorn offense struggled. With the Mountaineers winning in dramatic fashion in Austin in 2018, Texas will need to play a solid game to cover the spread.

A notable game without a line yet is the season finale against Oklahoma State. The Cowboys are a preseason favorite to make the Big 12 Championship game and the matchup against Texas will be crucial in deciding a spot. With the game in Stillwater, the Longhorns may come in as slight underdogs due to the road environment.

Houston Roughnecks at Tampa Bay Vipers odds, picks and best bets

Previewing the Roughnecks at Vipers Week 3 matchup, with XFL betting odds, picks and best bets

The XFL West-leading Houston Roughnecks (2-0) are heading east to take on the Tampa Bay Vipers (0-2) Saturday afternoon. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. ET from Raymond James Stadium.

Roughnecks at Vipers: Week 3 preview, betting trends and notes

Houston leads the XFL with nine total touchdowns, while Tampa Bay ranks last, having scored just once in two games (a defensive TD).
The Vipers’ passing attack has been a disaster with three different QBs getting playing time, but their ground game has been effective. Tampa Bay averages 145.5 rushing yards per game.
The Roughnecks do a great job protecting the football, committing just one turnover this season. Tampa Bay has given it away six times thus far.
The Roughnecks are 1-1 against the spread this season, failing to cover last week in their 28-24 win over Seattle.
Tampa Bay was a road favorite in each of its first two games but lost outright both times.

Roughnecks at Vipers: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 1:30 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Roughnecks 27, Vipers 13

Moneyline (?)

The Roughnecks are clearly the better team at this point in the season, getting excellent play out of QB P.J. Tucker. They lead the league with nine touchdowns and, while their defense has been average, the offense is rolling.

The Vipers can’t find the end zone on offense and there’s little reason to believe they’ll improve drastically this weekend. Take the ROUGHNECKS (-286) to win outright. This game won’t be close.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Houston to win would return a profit of $3.50.

Against the Spread (?)

The Roughnecks are favored by 6.5 points on the road, making this the first time Tampa Bay will be the underdog. The Roughnecks are 1-1 ATS but have the offensive to blow the Vipers out.

Take ROUGHNECKS (-110) to cover the 6.5-point margin with ease.

Over/Under (?)

The over/under is 45.5, which is a big number considering the Vipers have scored 12 total points in two games. The total has gone over in one of the Roughnecks’ two games after their 28-24 win last week.

Because of the Vipers’ ineptitude on offense, and their uncertainty at QB, take UNDER 45.5 (-121) in this one.
