Your guide to the College Football Championship
VSiN PrimeTime host Matt Youmans is in a little bit of a different position heading into tonight’s CFP Championship (7:30 p.m., ESPN).
Prior to the playoffs, I bet Notre Dame at 10-1 and 12-1 odds to win the championship, and I’ll be looking to hedge during live betting. The pregame moneyline of -380 on Ohio State is too high, and I want a lower price.

It’s easy to envision some scenarios where the Buckeyes win in a blowout, but the Irish are more physical than most think and their coaching staff is top-notch. The underdog is strong enough to take this to the wire, just as Texas did against Ohio State. I’ll call for the Buckeyes to sweat out a 24-20 win, although I’m not playing the total of 45.5.
