SEC Championship Odds 2025: Georgia, Texas Favorites; LSU, Alabama Trailing

Last Updated: September 9, 2025 4:32 PM EDT • 3 minute read X Social Google News Link

Although Texas opened the season as the SEC Championship odds favorites thanks to all of the Arch Manning buzz, it's last year's conference champ who sits atop the oddsboard.
Kirby Smart has led Georgia to three titles in the college football conference, where it just means more, but will his Bulldogs be able to live up to the hype this year? The SEC is loaded with Manning's Longhorns, an LSU team that took down Clemson, and several other College Football Playoff contenders.
So are the Bulldogs the best team to focus your college football picks in the SEC on, or could a new conference champion rise this season?

🐯 LSU (+500)
Could this be the year Brian Kelly finally breaks through with LSU?
The Tigers won 29 games in his first three seasons in charge but have yet to win the SEC Championship or make the College Football Playoff. But in Week 1, LSU's 17-10 win over Clemson certainly made it look like the Tigers are ready to take that next step.

LSU has arguably the most trustworthy QB in college football in Garrett Nussmeier, who is now leading the Heisman Trophy odds, and several different pass-catchers capable of making splashy plays - namely Aaron Anderson, Barion Brown, Trey'Dez Green, and Zavion Thomas.
The run game is there, too, with Caden Durham behind a rebuilt O-line led by transfers Braelin Moore (Virginia Tech) and Josh Thompson (Northwestern).
But maybe most importantly, Blake Baker seems to have this defense ready to make noise this season. Against Clemson, Harold Perkins Jr. was everywhere playing the star position, and transfer Mansoor Delane (Virginia Tech) looked like the next great LSU cornerback.
With Whit Weeks, Patrick Payton, Jack Pyburn, PJ Woodland, and A.J. Haulcy also featuring, the Tigers' defense is the key to winning the SEC.
Given the way Texas and Manning looked against college football national championship odds favorite Ohio State, and Alabama's complete collapse to start Year 2 under DeBoer, this is LSU's best chance yet under Kelly to win the conference. The Tigers' odds imply a 16.67% probability they'll win the, and if they do, a $10 bet pays a $50 profit.
