  • Sun Belt championship odds are currently available at BetMGM.
  • James Madison (+350) is the preseason favorite for 2025.

We canโ€™t let the SEC have all the fun.

College football odds are available 24/7 at the BetMGM online sportsbook, and many bettors head there with specific P5 targets in mind.

Personally, I like to carve out a little time every season to spend with one of my favorite conferences at any level of college football: the Sun Belt.

Following the four new additions from 2022, the Sun Belt has evolved from a middling conference to the true model for fun, competent G5 football. Its two divisions make geographic sense and have deeply competitive week-to-week college football odds.ย 

In the East, old-guard FCS powerhouses like James Madison, Marshall, and Appalachian State compete in a division with true 1-through-7 depth.ย 

The West gets knocked as a weaker division because itโ€™s not as deep, but fans of Sun Belt West teams are happy to remind everyone on the East Coast that an Eastern team has only won the Sun Belt championship once since 2019.
