The Tennessee Volunteers are the most popular long-shot bet to win the College Football Playoff National Championship at BetMGM.
Tennessee is listed at +10000 to win it all this season, and the Vols have received 3.2 percent of betting tickets and 2.1 percent of the betting handle.
After an underwhelming 7-6 showing last season, which included a loss in the Transperfect Music City Bowl to the Purdue Boilermakers, Tennessee would obviously need a tremendous change in fortunes to even make the College Football Playoffs – let alone win the National Championship.
Still, the Volunteers are expected to have one of the most exciting offenses in the country under second-year head coach Josh Heupel, and with dual-threat quarterback Hendon Hooker also in his second season commanding the offense.
