We are still months away from the start of the 2016 college football season, but the excitement is growing and fans around the nation are starting to get in on some of the early betting action.
The fine folks at WagerTalk.com have received the betting lines for some of the marquee matchups throughout the upcoming season. Wager Talk obtained the odds from the Las Vegas sportsbook, South Point.
As you would expect, the defending national champion Alabama Crimson Tide are favored in nearly all of their big matchups, with one exception. On Nov. 5, Alabama will enter their matchup with the SEC rival LSU Tigers as three-point underdogs.
