No other team has enjoyed more success in the College Football Playoff era than the Alabama Crimson Tide with seven playoff appearances, six championship games and three national titles. After failing to reach the playoffs last season in a rare two-loss regular season, Alabama looks to march their way toward national prominence once again and kick things off by welcoming the Middle Tennessee State University Blue Raiders to Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa on Sept. 2. Below we break down the latest Crimson Tide betting lines, including futures and College Football Playoff odds.

Odds via BetMGM and current upon publishing

We have everything you need to make your bets on Alabama’s opener against Middle Tennessee State, as well as the Crimson Tide’s outlook for the remainder of the season. For the matchup against NTSU, the latest Alabama odds and betting lines from top online sportsbooks suggest the opener could be a runaway result for the home team.

In the Nick Saban era, the Crimson Tide have never lost their season-opening game, posting a perfect 15-0 record. There’s no reason to think that trend will be disrupted against the Blue Raiders, who play in Conference USA.  Against the spread the Crimson Tide are 39.5-point favorites. The over/under was set at 51.5.

Crimson Tide National Championship Odds

After a rare two-loss season and settling for an appearance in the Sugar Bowl and a 45-20 victory against Kansas State, Alabama is on the hunt to return to the College Football Playoffs once again this season. Playing in the SEC means seeing some of the best teams in college football nearly every week that can be a launching point for the playoffs.

Alabama is again considered one of the favorites to win a National Championship this year at +600 odds entering the season, behind only fellow SEC foe Georgia at +225 after back-to-back championships. Michigan starts the season at +700 while Ohio State checks in at +800.

SEC Championship Odds For Alabama Crimson Tide

The SEC is considered the powerhouse of the Power 5 conferences, having produced the national champion for the past four years and six times in the nine years of the College Football Playoffs. The level of competition on a weekly basis in conference play drives teams to be at their best each week to stay in the race for a playoff berth.

The SEC is divided into two divsions – East and West – with the winners matching up in the SEC Championship Game in December. Playing in the SEC West, the Crimson Tide odds are +260 to capture the conference title, while Georgia, in the East, is at -110. Alabama odds opened at +105 to win the West and expects to battle with LSU at +175.

Other Alabama Futures Odds

Put your fortune teller skills to the test and take a look at other options to bet on the Crimson Tide in the futures market. It’s a straightforward description as you are wagering on what will take place further down the calendar, whether it involves choosing which team will win the national title or conference title. But there are more Alabama Crimson Tide betting lines and odds in the futures market than the obvious.

One example would be betting the field vs Alabama/Georgia to win the SEC Championship, which means you are wagering that either Alabama or Georgia will win the SEC at -275, or any other team (the field) to emerge as champion at +190.

Tracking the Heisman Odds throughout the season is something to keep an eye on for Alabama fans. Ty Simpson is +8000 but backup Tyler Buchner is +10000. The Tide are also +150 to make the College Football Playoffs while the over/under for regular season wins is set at 10 with -155 on the over and +130 on the under.
