Alabama is among the college football betting favorites and NCAA football wagering excitement continues to grow as kickoff weekend commences on September 2. There are a few potential college football betting sleepers, even though college football wagering odds makers again anticipate the Crimson Tide to dominate the SEC West Division. Alabama has become 1 of the most profitable squads on the board as they've gone 18-9 with the NCAA odds the past 2 years and have not lost a regular season match during that span. As they lost 9 starters from their powerhouse defense that took them to the 2009 BCS Championship, Alabama will again have to prove that they're a program that reloads instead of rebuilds this year. As head coach Nick Saban continues to reel in leading rated classes, nonetheless, recruiting has been remarkable, so there is plenty of talent to step in. Remember that a year ago the Tide had only 4 starters return on offense and yet output increased. The big concern is a difficult 3-game mid-season stretch on the schedule that commences at Arkansas, followed by Florida at home, and then a road game at South Carolina. The Tigers won't catch anyone napping in 2010 as expectations are way higher, though Auburn showed noticeable improvement a year ago in head coach Gene Chizik's first season on the job. 15 starters come back and the schedule is favorable even though the last match of the year is at Alabama in the Iron Bowl. Arkansas is a team that may be a sizeable wild card in the West division contest. The Razorbacks may have the leading offense in the division and head coach Bobby Petrino is among the most innovative coaches in the match. Quarterback Ryan Mallet was second Team SEC a year ago as he passed for 3624 yards and 30 touchdowns. The junior is forecasted to be the leading QB in the SEC. Mallet is the recipient of the world's largest crystal football trophy and he was also named the 2009 National Performer of the Year by the College Football Performance Awards. He started off with the University of Michigan but when Michigan installed a "spread" option offensive scheme, which didn't fit his skills, he transferred to the University of Arkansas. He became the starting quarterback during the 2009 season and currently holds sixteen school records, like most passing yards in a season and most passing yards in a game. When they sponsor Alabama on September 25, Arkansas may be a hazardous longshot with the college football lines. LSU is an awesome enigma as they're packed with talent but have played inconsistently under head coach Les Miles, who's on 1 of the hottest seats in the division. The Tigers must fill the spots for 7 starters on defense. Alabama visits on November 6 in what may be 1 of the biggest NCAA football wagering competitions of the season. Mississippi State was improved a year ago but will lose the surprise element and have a far tougher schedule while Ole Miss might be rejuvenated with Oregon cast off Jeremiah Masoli as quarterback.
