Latest Big 12 Football Championship Odds for 2024–25
Who is favored to win the Big 12 Championship?
According to the betting odds, the Kansas State Wildcats and the Utah Utes are co-favorites to win the Big 12 Championship.
The Utes are expecting to see quarterback Cameron Rising return after missing all of 2023 and that should help the offense and coach Kyle Whittingham has been a dominant staple for the program as an excellent head coach.
The Wildcats finished 9-4 last season and are improving as they added Colorado running back Dylan Edwards. Kansas State has a lot of experience, as they did not lose too much from last year's team. All four losses last season were within one score and this Wildcats team should be able to step up and be a massive threat in the Big 12 Conference.
Who is the sleeper team?
Not to sound like a casual fan but the Colorado Buffaloes sitting at +3300 to win the Big 12 Conference Championship seems like the best value bet that we can make. The Buffs have drastically improved since last season, when they could not protect quarterback Shedeur Sanders. They significantly improved the offensive line.
However, the defense lost some quality pieces to the transfer portal but this feels like a team that should be able to find their rhythm early and build momentum.
Their tougher games come in the first half of the season, which should be a solid advantage for them, as well as the fact that they can get teams still trying to find their identity.
