SEC Conference Odds Betting Preview
Unsurprisingly, the team that is the favorite to win the 2024 SEC championship is the Georgia Bulldogs. Georgia has won two of the last three national championships, and they are the favorite to win the conference and the national title this year. But the Bulldogs could face some competition from a new face in the SEC, that being the Texas Longhorns, who made the College Football Playoff last season while Georgia did not.
Other than those top-two contenders to win the SEC, there are several other squads with a shot to finish atop this conference in 2024. Ole Miss was electric last season under Lane Kiffin and should be in the mix in some capacity. And you can’t count out teams like Alabama and LSU, even if Alabama is heading into its first season without Nick Saban at the helm.
Texas is one of two teams to make the leap from the Big 12 to the SEC after last season. The Oklahoma Sooners also joined this conference starting in 2024, though their odds to win the SEC are much worse than those of the Longhorns. Still, the SEC adding two of the best teams from outside of the conference into the league moving forward will only make things more exciting in the league where It Just Means More.
Are There Divisions In the SEC?
As of 2024, there are no longer divisions in the SEC. That is a result of Texas and Oklahoma joining the conference, but one could argue that it was for the best to ditch the division format in this conference anyway. As it stood, the SEC West was loaded with talent, while the East usually featured Georgia and maybe one or two other good teams per season. Now, we will see a ton of intriguing matchups every week, which is what the people want without divisions to get in the way.
SEC Conference Betting & Handicapping
The SEC has become a high-scoring conference over the last few seasons. It isn’t that there are bad defensive players, it is just that there have been a lot of great skill position players and a lot of aggressive head coaches, especially with guys like Lane Kiffin now in the mix. There are a lot of teams that really like to score points and put up stats and that has been a real big departure from the old defensive slugfests that we used to see around the league. Even a team like Alabama has become more of an offense-first program.
Life in the SEC is tough week in and week out, as you never really get a break from facing talented players, but there are some teams that are clearly at the bottom of the league and those can be some interesting games to handicap. Some teams thrive in a big underdog role and do well to keep games close. Others get blown out regularly because they provide very little resistance.
Now, with Texas and Oklahoma as members of the Big 12, handicapping this conference gets more interesting. How will those newcomers adjust to life in the SEC? How will the existing members of the conference perform in games against those new foes? All of those questions will be answered in the near future.
