The CFP National Championship odds have Ohio State as a slight favorite over Notre Dame, but bettors are showing significant interest in the Fighting Irish, potentially causing a shift in the line. Andrew Caley, a sports betting expert at Covers, analyzes the early betting trends and factors influencing the odds.
The CFP National Championship odds opened with Ohio State laying -7.5 but was quickly bet up before some buyback on Notre Dame as of Tuesday morning.
We are less than a week away from the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish kicking off in the CFP National Championship Game and the CFP National Championship Odds According to BetMGM as of Monday, the early money on the spread was split down the middle but it appears the Bettors and oddsmakers alike were clearly impressed with Ohio State’s performance in the CFP, defeating Tennessee and Oregon in dominating fashion before taking down Texas 28-14 as 4.5-point favorites in the Cotton Bowl. But savvy bettors know that the 14-point difference in the Cotton Bowl resulted from two key plays. A massive 75-yard TreVeyon Henderson screen for a touchdown to end the first half and a Jack Sawyer fumble return for a touchdown to close a series that started with Texas having a first and goal at the one. That means the Cotton Bowl was a lot closer than the final score indicates. When you consider that Notre Dame has arguably the best defense Ohio State has seen all season, it’s no wonder that bettors would put some support behind the Irish with a spread this big. However, don’t expect that line to move much farther down than 8, not only is 7.5 the next key number we come across, but Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman announced on Sunday that starting left tackle Anthonie Knapp will miss the title game with a high ankle sprain. Bettors are also hoping for the luck of the Irish in hoping Notre Dame can pull off the upset. BetMGM is reporting 59% of the moneyline bets are on Notre Dame (+280)
