Most sportsbooks already are offering odds to win the 2020-21 College Football Playoff championship, and the wagering menu includes both traditional powers and longshots. Last year, LSU has opening odds of 40-1, and the Tigers defied them by embarking on an undefeated season and winning it all. 

Before you make your 2021 CFP national championship picks, you have to see what SportsLine senior analyst Josh Nagel has to say. 

Nagel is a Nevada-based college football expert who has won multiple handicapping contests, and he hit nearly 60 percent of his spread picks on SportsLine last season. Plus, he finished the year with a 7-1 mark on his against-the-spread selections in bowl games for SportsLine members. He also has a documented record of 40-22 on prop-bet specials. Anybody who has followed him is WAY up.

Now, he has scoured the William Hill futures odds for the 2021 CFP championship winner and revealed his top five picks! 

We can tell you Nagel likes the value on Alabama at 4-1. "It's never a good idea to count out the Crimson Tide, and never a bad one to consider a futures wager on them at the appealing price of better than +400," Nagel told SportsLine.

Nagel's other picks include a huge longshot with odds of nearly 30-1 that he believes has a legitimate chance of contending for the title! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before you lock in your own picks!
