The most notable fact is that Alabama is second, a change from the usual prohibitive favorite. Defending national champion Clemson returns Heisman Trophy favorite QB Trevor Lawrence, who led the Tigers to the shocking rout over Alabama last year. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joeduffy.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/trevor-lawrence-.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16015 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joeduffy.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/trevor-lawrence--300x180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joeduffy.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/trevor-lawrence--300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.joeduffy.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/trevor-lawrence--768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.joeduffy.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/trevor-lawrence-.jpg 775w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The virtual co-favorites see Clemson -165 and Alabama at -205. The Georgia Bulldogs, a team that has taken Alabama down to the wire each of the last two years is next at +610. Ohio State is +895 despite Ryan Day\u2019s first season as head coach, though he did fill-in for Urban Meyer during the legend\u2019s infamous suspension last year. \u00a0Odds are from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betnow.eu\/wc\/clicks.php?aff=OFFSHOREINSIDERS_356_681_32585\">Bet Now<\/a>, a popular sportsbook in part because of their low-juice moneylines in baseball and other sports. They are also tremendous for added rotation games. All odds based on $100 per bet.
