CFB National Championship Odds Trending Towards Notre Dame

Notre Dame is an 8.0-point underdog to Ohio State in the CFP National Championship, but odds are shifting in their direction.

ATLANTA – The Ohio State Buckeyes are 8.0-point favorites against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish a week before the College Football Playoff National Championship. However, legal sports betting odds continue to trend towards Notre Dame.

College Football National Championship Odds

Team	Spread	Moneyline	Total
Ohio State	-8.0 (-105)	-360	O46.0 (-110)
Notre Dame	+8.0 (-115)	+280	U46.0 (-110)

Ohio State is still a commanding favorite to win at -360 odds, but it’s notable that they opened at -400 and have constantly lengthened after Ohio State’s semifinals win against Texas. The Buckeyes are 3-0 against the spread at College Football Playoff betting sites, winning by an average of 19.7 points in the playoff.

On the other hand, Notre Dame is also 3-0 against the spread in the College Football Playoff. They won outright as a slight underdog at legal college football betting sites in their semifinals game against Penn State.

Early Betting Pick: Ohio State -8 (-105)

Betting the Buckeyes to cover the 8.0-point spread is the best bet for the National Championship. Ohio State’s defense should have no issue containing the one-dimensional Notre Dame offense that has struggled to throw the ball after allowing an average of 17.3 points per game to Tennessee, Oregon, and Texas.

Ohio State’s defense will be the best Notre Dame has faced all season, and the same can be said for the Buckeyes offense that scored 28+ points in all three postseason games. Back Ohio State’s -105 legal Georgia sports betting odds to cover the 8.0-point spread in Atlanta, Georgia for the National Championship.
