  • Sun Belt championship odds are currently available at BetMGM.
  • Appalachian State (+275) is the preseason favorite for 2024.
  • Texas State (+350) is the trendiest pick of the offseason.
  • James Madison (+725) is finally eligible to play in the conference championship.

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 conference on the rise to the true model for fun, competent G5 football. Its two divisions make geographic sense and have deeply competitive 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 hasnโ€™t won the Sun Belt championship since 2019.ย
