South Dakota State has successfully defended their FCS title for two consecutive seasons, making them the top pick on our top college football betting sites for the 2025 FCS Championship odds when they are released later this season.

North Dakota State fans have endured a challenging two years. Despite winning nine FCS national titles between 2011-12 and 2021-22, the Bison have gone without a championship for the past two seasons.

Their bitter rivals have won two consecutive FCS championships, seemingly putting an end to North Dakota State’s reign. South Dakota State has now established themselves as the dominant force in the FCS, defeating Montana 23-3 in the 2023-24 FCS Championship to claim their second consecutive title.

Our top sports betting websites have not yet posted odds for the 2024-25 FCS Championship, but it is anticipated that the Jackrabbits will be the frontrunners for a three-peat due to their talented returning roster.

Here, we preview the upcoming release of the 2025 FCS Championship odds, which will be available on our top sports betting apps for college football.

2025 FCS Championship odds

While we anticipate the release of odds for the 2025 FCS Championship from our preferred sportsbooks, we can begin to predict which teams might be favored this season. It is almost certain that South Dakota State will be one of the top contenders with the best odds.

In his first season as head coach, Jimmy Rogers led the Jackrabbits to a championship title after taking over for the retired John Stiegelmeier. South Dakota State has maintained its winning streak, going 29-1 in the last two seasons. Star quarterback Mark Gronowski, known for his dual-threat abilities, is poised to make a comeback with 97 total touchdowns in his collegiate career.

North Dakota State is a perennial contender in addition to South Dakota State. The Bison boast one of the top QB-WR duos in the nation with Cam Miller and Eli Green. Both teams have an advantage over their competition as many of the top FCS quarterbacks are choosing to transfer to the FBS.
