What really can whet the appetite of the football-starved fan is betting odds and Bovada released their national championship odds for the upcoming season and the defending champion, Florida State Seminoles, are the betting favorite, which should come as little surprise with the number of starters returning, none more important than Jameis Winston.

Bovada listed 51 teams in their list so there are some long shots you can wager on if you’re feeling lucky, but in reality, there are maybe 10 teams at the very most who have a legit chance to win the national title this season.
