    So each year I bet 20 bucks on LSU to win the National Championship. I am still up from 2007.

    I thought a few would be interested in how Vegas thinks LSU and others will do this year.

    Anyway for your entertainment value only

    Odds to Win National Championship
    LSU +2500
    Bama +400
    Arkansas +4000
    Auburn +5000
    Florida +900

    Odds to win SEC West (This is odd, though LSU is behind Arkansas but not for National Championship) So he we can be more favored to win the National Championship but less for SEC West is odd.. But its vegas..... Who knows

    Bama -200 (Means you bet more than you win, IE heavy favorite)
    Arkansas +250
    LSU +500
    Auburn +500
    Ole Miss +1000
    Miss St +1800


    They havent posted O/U for wins yet.....

    Ark is way over hyped. I mean, there O is good, but I just don't see them lasting the long haul. All the love for other SEC teams is great though so long as LSU handles their **** this year....

    Correct me if I am wrong here:

    You bet $100 to win $2500.
    That mean's we get 25x our bet.
    Therefore at a 4% chance x 25=100%.

    So in math terms we have a 4% chance of winning the national title right now.

    Get through UNC I bet it jumps to 8-10%.
