Can you believe it? Conference Championship Week is here. Don’t worry, we got you covered. Here is the full breakdown of the schedule, picks and odds.
Nine conference title games spread across Friday and Saturday, and the marquee matchup has college football fans salivating. No. 1 Ohio State hosting No. 2 Indiana in the Big Ten Championship? That’s appointment television right there.
Let’s break down every single game with the latest DraftKings odds as of December 2nd.
Friday’s Appetizers Set the Table
Conference USA kicks things off with Kennesaw State as 2.5-point favorites over Jacksonville State. The Owls are getting -135 moneyline action, which tells you everything about how close this one projects to be.
The Sun Belt title game is the complete opposite. James Madison opens as massive 23.5-point chalk against Troy. The Dukes’ moneyline sits at -2400, meaning you’d need to bet $2,400 just to win $100. Yikes.
North Texas gets a surprising nod as 2.5-point road favorites against No. 24 Tulane in the American Athletic Conference championship. That line screams “bet the Green Wave” to anyone paying attention to how these teams have played down the stretch.
Boise State closes out Friday as 4-point home favorites over UNLV in the Mountain West title game. The Broncos’ playoff hopes hang in the balance here.
Saturday’s Championship Saturday Chaos
The MAC Championship between Miami (OH) and Western Michigan features the lowest total on the board at just 43.5 points. Western Michigan gets a slight 2.5-point edge, but this one’s essentially a coin flip.
Texas Tech opened as 12.5-point home favorites over No. 11 BYU in the Big 12 title game. The Red Raiders’ -550 moneyline suggests Vegas thinks this one won’t be particularly competitive.
The SEC Championship pits No. 4 Georgia against No. 10 Alabama, with the Bulldogs favored by 2.5. Georgia’s -135 moneyline indicates oddsmakers expect a tight, low-scoring affair with that 47.5 total.
Then there’s the big kahuna. Ohio State opens as 4.5-point home favorites over Indiana in the Big Ten Championship. The Buckeyes’ -205 moneyline suggests confidence, but Indiana’s magical season has them positioned for potential chaos.
ACC Closes Things Out
Virginia gets 3.5-point home chalk against Duke in the ACC Championship. The Cavaliers’ -166 moneyline paired with a 57.5 total suggests this could be the most entertaining game of Championship Saturday.
What’s the play here? That Ohio State-Indiana showdown screams under 47.5. Two teams that can run the ball and control clock in December weather? Take the under and thank us later.
Championship Week is college football at its absolute peak. Buckle up.
