2025 College Football Conference Championship Odds Are In—Which Underdog Could Shock the Nation?

Sportsbooks didn’t waste a second before slapping down the opening lines for the 2025 college football conference championship games — and if you’re thinking these spreads will shut down any underdog dreams, think again. Texas Tech, Georgia, Ohio State, and Virginia might be chalk favorites, but last year’s wild title weekend taught us that chaos loves company, especially when the spreads are cozy enough for bettors to sniff out value. The totals are already shifting, the sharp money is circling like hawks, and every half-point? Yeah, it could make or break a team’s College Football Playoff hopes. Curious whether BYU’s revenge tour, Georgia’s close call against Alabama, Ohio State’s shaky resume, or Virginia’s soft schedule will tip the scales? Well, buckle up — the Power Four conference titles kick off Saturday, December 6, and the odds from DraftKings are just getting started. LEARN MORE.

Sportsbooks wasted no time before posting opening lines for the 2025 college football conference championship games, and the market expects chaos wrapped in chalk. Texas Tech, Georgia, Ohio State, and Virginia open as favorites, but the spreads aren’t big enough to scare off underdog bettors who remember last year’s title weekend mayhem.

Totals are already moving, sharps are attacking soft openers, and every half-point will matter with College Football Playoff resumes on the line. With that in mind, here are the opening betting odds for the Power Four conference title games kicking off Saturday, December 6, courtesy of DraftKings.

BYU is out for revenge after getting plastered on the road by Texas Tech, 29-7, in Week 11. The Red Raiders won the turnover battle 3-0, recorded three more sacks (4-1), and held the Cougars, who average the second-most rushing yards per game in the Big XII, to just 67 rushing yards on 27 carries.

Georgia’s only loss this season was at home to Alabama, 24-21. Crimson Tide QB Ty Simpson torched the Bulldogs, completing 24-of-38 passes for 276 yards with three total touchdowns (two passing and one rushing) and no interceptions. Alabama rebounded from a season-opening loss to Florida State to win eight straight games, and its only other loss was to No. 8 Oklahoma.

While Indiana played an easier schedule, its 30-20 win over No. 6 Oregon is the most impressive win either team has on its resume. Ohio State’s biggest victory came against No. 16 Texas in their season opener, but that win didn’t age well because the Longhorns didn’t live up to their preseason hype.

These teams met a couple of weeks ago, and Virginia went on the road to beat Duke 34-17. The Cavaliers had a soft schedule and didn’t have to face the other four ACC teams with a 6-2 conference record. Blue Devils QB Darian Mensah leads the ACC in passing yards (3,450) and touchdowns (28), and Duke’s biggest win was 46-45 at Clemson, which went 7-5 and 4-4 in the conference.
