Ohio State Favored By 9 1/2 Points Over Notre Dame, 2nd-largest Spread In CFP Title Game History

Marshall pointed out that the Irish have covered the past 11 point spreads and are 22-6 against the line going back to last season.

“Way too high, way too high, way too high,” Marshall said of the point spread. “They’re not going to roll over these guys, I don’t think, unless something crazy happens.”

Notre Dame got to the title game by beating Indiana 27-17, Georgia 23-10 and Penn State 27-24.

Ohio State rolled through the first two rounds of the playoffs, beating Tennessee 42-17 and topping previously undefeated and top-ranked Oregon 41-21 in a game that wasn’t even that close.

BetMGM trading manager Seamus Magee called the early action “very balanced, which we expect to continue throughout the week. Slightly higher volume on Ohio State money line, but certainly some interest in Notre Dame as well. We anticipate the book to need an outright Buckeyes win, which is also favorable from a futures perspective.”

That play was set up by an outside run on second down that Ohio State stopped for a 7-yard loss.

“I think Notre Dame could win, I really do,” Marshall said.

Four years ago, Alabama was favored by nine over Ohio State and won 52-24.
