The betting market is high on Alabama heading into head coach Kalen DeBoer’s second season. The Crimson Tide are +460 to win the SEC and have the fifth-shortest odds to win the College Football Playoff at +1100 at FanDuel Sportsbook.

There is reason for optimism. Alabama returns 15 starters from last year’s team that just missed the playoffs. Keep in mind, not only did DeBoer have to replace an icon in Nick Saban, but over 30 players from the 2023 team left the program. DeBoer made the title game in his second season at Washington, and Alabama fans are hoping for similar success in 2025.
Alabama will be breaking in a new quarterback with Jalen Milroe going to the NFL. Redshirt junior Ty Simpson is expected to get first crack at replacing Milroe, but if he falters, true freshman and 5-star recruit Keelon Russell will be waiting in the wings. Alabama is a tough team to gauge heading into the season.
