Dec 31 CFP Best Bets
#4 Ohio State at #1 Georgia
This should be a fantastic game, in my experience whenever a team like Ohio State gets into this CFP they cause problems. Back in 2016 when they were the 4 seed and got in over TCU they won the whole thing! I believe the exact same thing is going to happen again. The last time we saw Ohio State they were getting blown out by Michigan at home. I know they are going to come out and play much better than that.
The line movement on this one has been strange to say the least. It opened at Ohio State +7.5 and was quickly bet down to 7 and is now at 5.5 on game day. This isn’t adding up, I took the +7.5 as soon as it opened because I knew that was too many points. I am also backing Ohio State on the moneyline here to pul the upset and win the whole thing.
Ohio State +7.5 (-110) 2.5 units and Ohio State ML (+195) 2.5 units
#3 TCU vs #2 Michigan
This was another line that was strange to me. TCU continues to get disrespected by bookmakers and the media. I am happy they made the playoff and with all this disrespect I’m backing them with the points and on the moneyline. This team continues to win when they are doubted and is mentally tough. The fact that this spread is over a TD here is nuts.
I’m taking the points and even betting on TCU moneyline because I don’t doubt this team anymore. What they’ve shown me every time this season when they’ve been doubted is enough to convince me. Michigan is due for a poor performance and bad game. Max Duggan and Quentin Johnson are going to be a problem for any defense in the country to cover and will be the difference in this game.
TCU +8 (-110) 2.5 Units and TCU ML (+260)
