Current Odds to Win The 2014 College Football National Championship For Every Contending Team Below!

The current list of week 15 BCS national championship odds can be found at the bottom of this post.  14 weeks are complete and there are 2 undefeated teams left for the BCS championship. After the conference championships this weekend, the BCS matchups will be finalized. This week, we will take a look at the teams that are legitimate contenders.

Of the BCS championship odds, the favorites are the #1 ranked Florida State Seminoles (1.4 to 1 odds @ WagerWeb) and deservedly so. The Seminoles have dominated the opposition, and won in convincing fashion this weekend against Florida. They play the upstart Duke Blue Devils, who will be looking to pull off the upset. Currently they are more than a four touchdown favorite, but can’t overlook Duke, as they are a team that capitalizes on team’s mistakes.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are currently listed at 5 to 1 (at WagerWeb) to win it. The Buckeyes have to take care of business in the Big Ten championship and will face a stingy defense in Michigan State. In my opinion, with these odds Ohio State is worth a play. Why not? Take a look at it this way. Let’s just say they take care of business this weekend and advance to the championship game. They have a great coach in Urban Meyer and will have a month to prepare. In the month leading up to the big game, all they will hear is how they are in a weak conference and don’t belong. I love a team that is counted out based on their schedule; motivation is always a huge factor. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to see the Buckeyes win it all, as they definitely have the offense to keep in the game.

The Auburn Tigers are currently listed at 5 to 1 (at WagerWeb) to win the BCS championship. Well, they have to play Missouri, which will be a tough test after an extremely emotional victory over Alabama. That victory might get them into the big game, depending on if Ohio State wins or how they look against Michigan State will determine if they leap over the Buckeyes. With these odds, there isn’t too much value in my opinion, as they are listed at the same odds as Ohio State, yet have a tougher team in front of them and need an Ohio State loss.

Missouri is currently listed at 11 to 1. Why not take a shot with the Tigers. In my opinion, as stated before, they will be facing an Auburn team that is coming off a big win against Alabama. Not only that, but after Auburn won, all the players and fans were saying was they deserved to be in the national championship. Well, they may deserve it, yet they still have Missouri to play. Were they overlooking Missouri? Quite possible, but this Missouri team is extremely talented, and they are very capable of beating Auburn. Should they win, and Ohio State loses, they could pass Alabama and get a spot in the championship. Voters will see that Missouri’s only loss was in double overtime with their backup quarterback.

Finally, Alabama is listed at 44 to 1. Anytime I see Alabama at these odds, I’d take it. As stated above, Missouri might pass Alabama should they win. However, this is still an Alabama team that lost on the road on one of the craziest plays in college football history. Voters still respect Alabama, and if Ohio State and Auburn lose, they could very well put the Crimson Tide in the championship game. Their only loss was on the road, while Missouri’s was at home, that’s just something voters will look at.

And it all comes down to this! The BCS National Championship Game picks are finally here to be made, and here at Bankroll Sports, we are looking at some of the best college football prop picks on the board and showing you how you can win on the BCS Championship Game without playing the Alabama vs. Notre Dame odds or spreads.

Team To Call First Timeout: It seems like something awfully stupid to bet on, but when push comes to shove, most of the early timeouts that are called in games are called because coaches and players aren’t so sure of what they are ultimately supposed to be doing. Alabama has been here and done this time and time again, whether it be here at the National Championship Game, playing in the SEC Championship, or playing in front of tens of thousands of fans at Tiger Stadium or any of the other huge venues that the SEC has to offer. Notre Dame plays its share of big games, but this is as big as it gets. QB Everett Golson isn’t even trusted in the two minute drill, and it just doesn’t look all that pretty for him under center in this game. The Alabama defense is fast, strong, and hits incredibly hard, and that really could confuse the heck out of Golson early on. Significantly more often than not, it seems as though Notre Dame will be calling the first timeout of the contest. Notre Dame To Call First Timeout (-125)

Will AJ McCarron Throw a Touchdown Before an Interception?: This is one of these no-lose props for us as we see it. McCarron only threw three interceptions all year long, and two of those came in one game against the Texas A&M Aggies. He just isn’t put into positions where he can get into trouble all that often, and Head Coach Nick Saban really protects him. Yes, the Notre Dame defense is great, and yes, that might keep him from throwing a touchdown at all. However, knowing that we are getting our money back if neither a TD nor an INT is thrown, there is just no way that we think that McCarron is getting picked off first. At -500 is probably the fair price for this prop, and we’re going to take full advantage of it. AJ McCarron To Throw a Touchdown Before an Interception (-200)

Will AJ McCarron Throw an Interception?: Same shtick. Considering the fact that he was picked off in two out of 13 games this year, we really don’t see McCarron getting intercepted in this game. AJ McCarron To Not Throw an Interception (-110)

Will Jeremy Shelley Miss a Field Goal?: We’re not ones to say that a kicker can never miss, but Shelley just isn’t put into a position to miss all that often. He is the short range kicker for the Crimson Tide, and he is the only kicker in America that didn’t miss a single kick this year. It’s ridiculous to think that he is posted at just -220 to not miss a field goal in this game when he hasn’t missed all year long. Jeremy Shelley To Not Miss a Field Goal (-220)

Eddie Lacy Yards On First Rushing Attempt Over/Under 3.5: Lacy averaged 6.5 yards per carry this year, and he is running behind the best offensive line in the country. Apologies to the Fighting Irish, but they aren’t holding Lacy under four yards on more than half of his carries in this game in all likelihood. Eddie Lacy Yards On First Rushing Attempt Over 3.5 (-115)

Everett Golson Over/Under 205.5 Passing Yards: Alabama conceded just 166.2 passing yards per game this year, and Golson averaged under 180 passing yards per game. Granted, we know that Golson has played against some tough defenses, but he hasn’t seen a team like this one. He has at least 200 passing yards in four straight games, but those games have come against Pitt, Boston College, Wake Forest, and USC. This is a much tougher task and should be a lot more like the game that he had against Michigan State or Stanford, both of which he was mired under 180 total passing yards. Everett Golson Under 205.5 Passing Yards (-115)

Kyle Brindza Over/Under 6 Points: We would basically need Brindza to boot two field goals to win this prop bet for us, and we think that it is very reasonable that he would ultimately be able to do that. Remember that Brindza kicked 23 field goals for an offense that often sputtered down near the goal line this year. It’s absolutely unimaginable to think that Alabama is going to post another shutout in a second straight National Championship Game, and though it might be ill-advised, we have to think that the Notre Dame kicker will at least get a couple of cracks from inside 40 yards or so in this game. Kyle Brindza Over 6 Points (-140)

Will Everett Golson Throw a 1st Half Touchdown Pass?: The better question might be asking whether Golson is going to throw a TD pass in the entire game or not. The Alabama defense probably isn’t allowing more than one TD for the whole game, let alone for the whole half, and the likelihood that Golson throws it isn’t all that good. Remember that this is still just a sophomore, and it comes in a game against a fantastic defense. Golson only threw 11 TDs all year. There doesn’t seem to be even a 40% chance of him throwing one in the first 30 minutes of this game. Everett Golson Doesn’t Throw a First Half Touchdown Pass (-160)
