College football is in a state of chaos ahead of the 2024 season. Conferences span from coast-to-coast; if they survived realignment, the transfer portal completely flipped many rosters, and head coaches responsible for all but four national titles since 2006 are no longer head coaches.The anarchy ruling the sport offers opportunity for bettors seeking high-value futures wagers. As Billy Napier said in his time as head coach at Louisiana, “Scared money don’t make money"—just as long as you don’t confuse that with a recommendation to take Napier’s current Florida Gators team to make the playoffs at +2000. That’s tied with USF for the Sunshine State’s fourth-longest odds to make the 12-team field. Alabama to Win the National Championship (+1500): BetMGM, BetESPN, FanDuelThe moment the clock went zero at the 2023 SEC Championship Game, it’s safe to assume Georgia became the favorite to win the 2024 season’s national title. And, indeed, the Bulldogs provide the safest futures bet to win the national championship, evident in their +300 odds across most mainstream books. Only Ohio State is in the same neighborhood, ranging from +300 (BetRivers, Bally) to +400.But when it comes to maximizing potential payout, Georgia’s SEC counterpart, Alabama, at +1500, offers the best value. First-year head coach Kalen DeBoer is standing in maybe the longest shadow ever cast in the sport’s history, that of Nick Saban. But DeBoer’s proven himself to be a winner at all levels, with immediate success in previous stops.Part of following Saban means inheriting a roster brimming with talent, not the least of whom is quarterback Jalen Milroe. Milroe’s solid output in his first season as Crimson Tide starter, coupled with DeBoer’s track record for maximizing a quarterback's abilities, could make Milroe at +1500 to win the Heisman Trophy worth a look.A Sept. 28 rematch of the SEC Championship against Georgia looms large. If Alabama defends its home turf, the Tide play what is on paper a more favorable schedule than Georgia’s (at Texas and at Ole Miss) the rest of the way.

Maybe you found Sanders referring to players nudged toward the transfer portal as mismatched pieces of furniture—a refreshing stripping of disingenuous pretenses other coaches spout. Perhaps you found it an unprofessional, self-aggrandizement not befitting a leader.Either way, Colorado football commanded national attention for a bit, and in a way, it hadn’t in about 20 years. But losing 8-of-9 to close out 2023, the on-field product resembled the same Buffs bag with faux Louis Vatton branding.Colorado heads into 2024 with premier talent, namely generational offense and defense star Travis Hunter. Quarterback Sheduer Sanders shined at times and has garnered first-round NFL draft buzz. But CU’s biggest questions arise from the duo: How hard can the Buffs ride Hunter without wearing him down, and how effective will the offensive line be in keeping Sanders upright?Play on both lines vexed CU down the stretch, evident in the Buffs defense surrendering 176.4 rushing yards per game (No. 110 nationally) and the offense allowing 56 sacks. Only Old Dominion gave up more. Depth on both lines remains an issue.It’s also fair to ask how equipped Deion Sanders is to coach teams to marquee wins. All four CU victories in 2023 came against teams that finished sub-.500. His Jackson State squads went 0-2 in Celebration Bowls despite having significant talent advantages per recruiting rankings. Getting the Buffs to the program’s first .500-or-better finish since 2016 will take reversing plenty of negative trends.We may know how realistic it is by the end of Week 3 after CU closes an opening stretch against perennial FCS national-title contender North Dakota State and rivals Nebraska and Colorado State on the road.

With the expanded Playoff guarantee a berth to a top-ranked Group of Five conference members, consider Appalachian State. The Mountaineers have a track record for playing ranked power-conference opponents tough in September (one-score losses to Miami and North Carolina in 2021 and 2023, a win at Texas A&M in 2022), and they face Clemson in Week 2 this season.Liberty, which at +440 has the second-best Group of Five Playoffs odds behind Boise State’s +400, visits Boone on Sept. 28. Those non-conference dates send the Sun Belt Conference favorites into their league slate with a chance to build a Playoff. It’s a long shot, but with the electrifying pass-catch tandem of quarterback Joey Aguilar and wide receiver Kaedin Robinson, there may not be a more fun underdog’s bandwagon to climb aboard in 2024.

Milan 1-1 Red Star Belgrade (3-3 agg): Kessie penalty and spectacular Donnarumma save seals away goa
Milan edged into the last 16 of the Europa League on away goals after being held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Red Star Belgrade at San Siro.
Reeling from Red Star s last-gasp equaliser in the first leg and Sunday s 3-0 derby defeat to Serie A title rivals Inter, Milan just did enough to secure their progress on Thursday – and they had birthday boy Gianluigi Donnarumma to thank.
Franck Kessie s early penalty put Milan 3-2 up on aggregate, but Red Star hit back through El Fardou Ben.
With Milan profligate at the other end, 22-year-old Donnarumma had to pull off an outstanding stop to deny Sekou Sanogo, before Marko Gobeljic s red card dented Red Star s comeback hopes.
A penalty was the reward for Milan s bright start when VAR adjudged Gobeljic to have purpo…
PSV Eindhoven forward Jeremain Lens is set to complete his switch to Dynamo Kiev, .
The two clubs have been negotiating a transfer fee over the last few days and they appeared to have agreed a fee in the region of €9 million.
As a result, the striker is currently undergoing medical examinations in Ukraine and is expected to sign a long-term deal worth around €2 million per campaign in the coming days.
Jeremain Lens joined the Dutch giants in a €6.1 million deal from AZ Alkmaar in the summer of 2010, and he immediately established himself as a first team regular at Philips Stadium.
The 25-year-old went on to make 96 Eredivisie appearances for PSV Eindhoven and scored 34 goals in the process.

Hooper, who scored 19 goals in 30 Scottish Premier League starts last term, has attracted the interest of the Premier League newcomers, who are looking to boost their attacking options.
However, Hull s bid was deemed insufficient to secure the 25-year-old s services.
We had a bid from Hull City which we rejected. Whether they come again, I don t know, Lennon told Sky Sports.
(There is) no set price. The offer made was well below our valuation of player. We would be very happy for him to stay and if he decides to stay on, contract negotiatoins may re-open again.

Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli does not appear to regret missing out on the Chelsea job to Antonio Conte, as he aims to bring LaLiga glory to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
Sampaoli, who won the Copa America in style with Chile in 2015, has previously claimed he was Chelsea s first choice to replace Jose Mourinho.
Giving an interview with Radio Vorterix in his native Argentina last year, the 56-year-old said his chances of taking over at Stamford Bridge suffered a fatal blow when it became apparent that former Juventus boss Conte, then in charge of Italy s national team, would be available following Euro 2016.
Chelsea are sure to be happy with their decision, Conte having steered the Blues to an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League.

Manchester United are set to enter the race for West Ham star Declan Rice, according to , in which they ll hope to beat Arsenal. The Gunners, however, remain the likeliest destination for the England international at this point.
Rice s future has been a subject of much speculation for years now. At first, he was strongly linked with Chelsea, and though the London Blues are believed to be financially capable to swoop in, they re unlikely to do so.
As for West Ham, they would love to keep the 24-year-old midfielder for another season, though with his contract set to expire in 2024 and Rice believing he s ready to move on, manager David Moyes recently admitted the parting of ways between the player and the club might happen this summer.

Paris St Germain boss Luis Enrique has played down any injury concerns for Kylian Mbappe after the France forward did not take part in full training ahead of Saturday’s Ligue 1 match against Lille.
Mbappe, who continues to be linked with a move to Real Madrid in the summer, picked up a minor issue during the Coupe de France win over Brest on Wednesday night.
Despite having not joined in with the rest of the squad for Friday’s final training session and instead worked in the gym, Enrique insists there are no concerns over his availability.
“Kylian will be fit tomorrow and available to play,” Enrique said.
“He didn’t train today because we didn’t want to take any risks, so he trained inside, but he will be available for the game.”
