These two teams have long odds that offer value to bettors.
This new postseason format comes with a few unique wrinkles, including on-campus first-round matchups and a bye for the top four conference champions.The preseason futures market last fall listed nine teams’ odds at 18/1 or shorter. As of Monday, despite the new 12-team field, there are eight teams at 18/1 or shorter odds.
Oddsmakers quickly adjusted to the BCS era , settling into a familiar neighborhood each preseason, regularly grouping seven to eight teams in the +400 to 18/1 range.When the postseason field doubled to four in 2014, it stood to reason that oddsmakers would add a few likely candidates to their “favorites” grouping, but they didn’t budge. Prior to the 2014 season kicking off, seven teams opened between +300 and 18/1.
If all eight of the favorites made the field, that would still leave four spots for teams at 20/1 or longer. Entering the playoffs with a team north of 30/1 is a license to print money from a hedge perspective. Fortunes can change quickly in the NIL/portal era, and Miami has added significant talent to its roster this offseason by nabbing a quartet of four-star prospects, most notably in the offensive backfield.
Overall, when you factor in returning production and transfer activity, Miami is the third-most seasoned team, according to the Action Network’s Collin Wilson. The highest-ranked Group of Five team is finally guaranteed a playoff bid, and who is the best G5 team this season? Boise by a country mile.
