College Football: Highest-Edge Futures After Week 1

Week 1 of College Football betting has come to a close and there are plenty of takeaways worth noting. We consulted our College Football Futures model to find the highest-edge and best CFB bets to place on the National Championship. Here are Dimers' three best value Futures bets to place after Week 1 of the season.

Before we dive in, you should know that it definitely pays to have more than one funded account with the best US Sportsbooks when betting on sports.

For example, did you know that new users at bet365, new users can claim $200 in Bonus Bets when they sign up and place a $1 bet on anything. With the grind of football season now here, this is one of the best ways to establish some early bankroll.

bet365 may only be available in limited states at the moment (although, keep an eye out because the world-renowned sportsbook have plans to expand outside of their current OH, CO, IA, VA and NJ bases soon), but they’re offering some of the strongest signup offers and boosts out there right now.

Three Best College Football Futures Bets

1. Alabama to Win the SEC West (23% edge)

We begin our favorite college football Futures bets to place in the SEC, where we find the Alabama Crimson Tide. Coming into the season, Alabama and LSU were thought to be top-ten teams in the country who will battle it out fiercely for the throne in the SEC West. One week in, and Alabama has a blowout 56-7 win over Middle Tennessee State under their belt while LSU went to Florida to lose by three touchdowns to the Seminoles on Sunday night.

DimersBOT is buying that Jalen Milroe and the Tide are for real, giving Bama a 51% likelihood of winning this division. At -105 odds, this is as close to pickem as we are likely to get this season, as our model believes Alabama is one of the best bets you can make in the entire sport right now.

2. Oklahoma to Win the Big 12 (12% edge)

Next up we move to the Big 12, where instead of liking the favorite, DimersBOT has identified an underdog that is undervalued. Coming into the season, it was thought to be Texas' conference to lose, with teams like TCU, Kansas State and Oklahoma fighting for 2nd place. The Longhorns got the best of Rice in Week 1, but it wasn't the most decisive victory we saw from one of these contenders.

Oklahoma looked like a completely revamped Sooners team, with Brett Venables' squad defeating Arkansas State 73-0 in style. Not only did Oklahoma look more explosive than Texas, but TCU also looked vulnerable, losing to Colorado and making Oklahoma even more appetizing as the team to separate themelves from the pack in the Big 12. DimersBOT, our free sports picks oracle, gives Oklahoma a 19% chance to win the conference, but we expect the gap between them and Texas to continue to close, making the 12% edge on their +450 odds worth betting right now before it changes.

3. Wisconsin to Win the Big Ten West (8% edge)

For our last Futures bet worth placing, we move to the Big 12 where we find Luke Fickell's Wisconsin Badgers. The Big Ten West has been one of the most wide-open divisions in football the past few seasons, but the Badgers have been the class of the division before and it appears they could be headed there again. With a 38-17 victory over a decent Buffalo squad, Wisconsin can claim the most decisive Week 1 victory from any team in this group.

Purdue lost to Fresno State, Illinois struggled to put away Toledo, Minnesota snuck away with a victory over Nebraska and even Iowa let Utah State hang around in Week 1. If you're buying Wisconsin, the time to place the bet on them to win the division may be now, where you can get an 8% edge on their +130 odds. DimersBOT says take it!
