College Football Picks – Conference Championship Predictions

It’s conference championship game weekend in college football with spots in the college football playoff and the big bowls games on the line

Here are conference championship predictions for the marquee battles. Odds are early week lines from FanDuel, check out the line moves during the week and pocket one of FanDuel’s awesome signup bonuses.

Noteworthy is Alabama’s status as 6.5-point underdogs to Georgia in the SEC title game. The Tide have been underdogs just five times since the 2008 season, winning four of those games. And interestingly, twice against Georgia, 38-10 in 2015 and 41-30 in 2008. Our old friend Frank Schwab at Yahoo points out the line breaks a 92-game streak where Bama was favored every game.
