Our latest Alabama football predictions and odds to win the CFP National Championship, SEC Championship

When news broke that long-time head coach Nick Saban was retiring as the head coach of Alabama football, panic broke out.

In this new NIL, transfer portal era, it was crucial Alabama found someone capable of keeping things, well, rolling.

So far, so good. But while Kalen DeBoer has an impressive resume from his time with Washington, it’s too early to say if he’s the next great leader of the Crimson Tide.

That said, Alabama has been able to take care of business through their first three games of the season.

Expectations are rising for what the offensive guru can accomplish in his first year with the program.

The potential is there for Alabama to continue their storied success even as they enter a new era.

Early on, young stars such Jalen Milroe, Jam Miller and Ryan Williams are firing out of the gates.

How far can they go? Let’s take a look at Alabama odds to win the 2025 SEC championship, as well as the 2025 College Football Playoff.

FanDuel Sportsbook gives Alabama -350 odds to make the College Football Playoff.

Aside from FanDuel and BetMGM, there doesn’t seem to be many other sportsbooks offering this market, as of publication.

The only time Alabama has been outside the the top 12 in the final College Football Playoff Ranking was 2019 (CFP rankings started in 2014).

Alabama 2025 National Championship odds (+900 at DraftKings)

DraftKings Sportsbook offers the best odds on the Crimson Tide winning the championship at +900.

However, the team is the third highest SEC squad on the list, as both Georgia (+320) and Texas (+500) are favored over them. The big question for this team still rests with Milroe under center.

The junior QB must prove he can effectively operate as a dropback passer when defenses are able to generate pressure and keep him contained in the pocket.

The new offensive scheme should help him take steps forward as a downfield passer, and he’ll have a chance to put those concerns to rest as he goes through a daunting SEC slate.

But if a team like Texas, Georgia, or Ole Miss can win in the trenches, he must find ways to remain productive.

Alabama SEC Championship odds: All eyes on next Saturday

The Crimson Tide hosts rival Georgia on September 28th in a highly-anticipated rematch of the 2023 SEC Championship.

With Alabama entering the game off a week of rest, they should be at their best when the Bulldogs come to town. They’ll need to bring their ‘A’ game.

Early lines on the contest have Georgia currently sitting as 2.5-point favorites.

At +500, Fanatics Sportsbook has the best odds for Alabama winning the SEC Championship Championship.

The road to Atlanta won’t be easy for DeBoer & Co. as the rest of their schedule includes games like South Carolina, at Tennessee, Missouri, at LSU, and at Oklahoma. Three of those teams are currently unbeaten, while four are in the current AP Top 25 poll.

Still, if Alabama can manage to win next week, they’ll likely remain the favorite the rest of the way through the remainder of their regular season.

Four of the past five national champions have come from the SEC, so a battle-tested Crimson Tide could certainly be the team to do it this year.

It’s an exciting time in Tuscaloosa for one of the top teams in college football. While change can be scary, there also comes plenty of potential.

If you believe DeBoer’s scheme mixed with the Alabama resources can win it all, there are certainly some enticing odds out there to consider.
