200-1 shot<\/a> at winning the title as recently as October at BetMGM.<\/p>\nIs there another 200-1 team that could make a surprise run next season? BetMGM doesn\u2019t have its futures board up yet, but let\u2019s look at DraftKings at some intriguing long shots.<\/p>\n
Colorado<\/strong> \u2013<\/strong> The Buffaloes made waves in the off-season by hiring Deion Sanders as their new head coach. \u201cCoach Prime\u201d said he was bringing his players with him to Boulder.<\/p>\nColorado went 1-11 last season, and the Buffaloes have just two bowl bids since 2008. However, if Sanders can follow through on his promise to bring in high-level talent, he can turn CU around quickly.<\/p>\n
Louisville<\/strong> \u2013<\/strong> The Cardinals bring back former QB Jeff Brohm to coach the squad after Scott Satterfield bolted for Cincinnati and Brohm led Purdue to a Big Ten West title. U of L doesn’t have nearly the rebuilding project that Colorado has, as the Cards won eight games this past season.<\/p>\nLouisville\u2019s schedule is also friendly. The Cards get Notre Dame at home and would avoid either Clemson or Florida State until possibly the ACC championship game. Still, their chances took a hit after star linebacker Monty Montgomery announced he was entering the transfer portal Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

That includes a 42-25 victory over Ole Miss in the Texas Bowl. They also employ an explosive offense that could catch the eye of fans and pollsters next season.<\/p>\nTexas Tech could see their title odds shorten early. The second game of the season is a home contest against Pac-12 power Oregon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
