Ohio State RB Trey Sermon To Score A TD (-300)
It’s a little steeper than I’d like to risk normally, but it’s a holiday…err, the national title game. Sermon didn’t really do much of note in the team’s first four games, rushing 45 times for 232 yards and no touchdowns. He gobbled up 112 yards and a touchdown in the regular-season finale at Michigan State (Dec. 5), and then he broke out for 331 rushing yards and two scores in the Big Ten Championship Game against Northwestern.
Sermon also ran angrily against Clemson in the CFP Semifinal in New Orleans, gashing the Tigers for 193 yards at 6.2 yards per tote with a touchdown. Head coach Ryan Day and the Buckeyes will lean upon the Georgia native heavily against the Tide.
Alabama QB Mac Jones UNDER 14.5 rushing yards (-110)
This prop seems a little on the high side. Jones posted a season-high 12 rushing yards against Notre Dame in the CFP Semifinal on New Year’s Day, as running the football is just not his thing. Jones actually ran 31 times for just three net positive yards all season with one rushing touchdown at Tennessee Oct. 24.
Yes, sack yardage counts against rushing yardage, and that makes this an even more attractive prop. Ohio State has recorded 19 sacks for 122 yards across its seven games.

Ohio State TE Luke Farrell UNDER 15.5 receiving yards (-110)
In the CFP Semifinal against Clemson it was TE Jeremy Ruckert who surprised with three receptions for 55 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He now has at least three receptions, at least 25 receiving yards and a total of five touchdown grabs over the past three outings.
Farrell has been lost in the shuffle, going for just five receptions, 37 yards and one touchdown in his four appearances this season. He found the end zone against the Tigers, but he had just 11 yards on two grabs. Expect a similar result and an Under ticket to cash.
Alabama -0.5 – 1st Quarter Spread (-140)
There is a little extra juice attached to this prop, but it’s a good play. Alabama led after the first quarter in 10 of its 12 games this season, including each of the previous eight. In the other two where the Tide wasn’t leading, it was tied 7-7 against Georgia Oct. 17, and 7-7 against Mississippi Oct. 10.
Over the past eight games, ‘Bama has outscored the opposition 104-16 after the first 15 minutes. The Crimson Tide roll to early leads. It’s just what they do, and the CFP title game will be no different.
Alternate Line Parlay – Ohio State +10.5 and Over 55.5 Points (+105)
Ohio State isn’t going to get run out of the building against Alabama, as it comes in with plenty of confidence after exorcising its demons against Clemson last weekend.
While ‘Bama boasts a Heisman finalist in Jones, the Heisman winner in WR DeVonta Smith, and a cadre of NFL-ready players like usual, the Buckeyes have plenty of talent on both sides of the ball, too. They’re not going to be fazed by the bright lights, and it isn’t their first rodeo, either. Look for the Buckeyes to keep it within one score before the dust settles, and for the points to be rather plentiful, too.

What ten Ohio State vs Alabama College Football Playoff National Championship predictions appear to be the best bets and picks?

It’s Ohio State vs. Alabama.
It’s big-time vs. big-time, and we all want and need a really, really good college football game to close out the 2020 season.
Here are the ten best-looking prop bets, predictions, and big picks for tonight’s showdown. Warning … there’s a crossing of the streams here.
Value means as much or more here as anything else – so there will be a few contradictions. Let these confirm, deny, or help you in some way go with your already held beliefs.
Happy College Football Playoff National Championship night.
10. First score of the game an Alabama TD
LINE: +140
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
Of course the first score might be a weird safety, or some quirky special teams or defensive touchdown, but that’s unlikely.
Alabama has managed to score the first in 11 of its 12 games, and in the one time it didn’t – the win over Ole Miss – its first points came on a touchdown. Three times, Bama scored first on a field goal, but the overwhelming number is on the side of scoring a touchdown first.
Clemson scored a touchdown first to open up the scoring against Ohio State in the Rose Bowl, and Northwestern got the first touchdown – but the Buckeyes scored first on a field goal – in the Big Ten Championship.
Nebraska opened up the season with a touchdown drive on the Buckeye D.
Go Bama. Roll the first touchdown as the first score of the game.
9. Alabama QB Mac Jones over 365.5 passing yards
LINE: -110
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
Oh why not?
Cfp Championship Prop Bets 2020
Jones having an awful day is the one thing no one seems to be thinking about, and obviously this is a big number to hit no matter what, but how many times has he thrown for over 365 yards this year?
Now as many as you might think – six of the 12. However, that Trevor Lawrence guy hit Ohio State for 400 and Indiana’s Michael Penix cranked up 491. Even ol’ Rutgers went for 232.
There’s no real value at -110, but if you like Bama, you’re probably going to with some big stat pick like this anyway.
But if you’re going for the play that favors the bigger odds …
8. Ohio State money line and over 59.5
LINE: +360
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
It’s the same +360 if you’re going for 59.5 or 60.5, and you might as well get the extra value for that one more point from Ohio State on the money line and Over 58.5 at +340.
There’s far better value on this at Ohio State on the money line and with each team scoring 30 or more – more on that later – but if you think Ohio State is going to win, it’s probably going to be some sort of an offensive show both ways. And if it’s not, 59.5 isn’t asking for the world, here.
Remember, the Clemson obliteration of Bama in Santa Clara was 44-16.
7. Alabama RB Brian Robinson over 19.5 rushing yards
LINE: -105
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
Cfp Championship Prop Bets 2019
There’s no value, but if you have an inkling …
The Ohio State run defense is terrific. It held Clemson to just 44 yards on the ground, gave up 44 to Penn State, too, and Indiana cranked up one fewer yard than you did – it netted -1 in the 42-35 loss – back in November.
Robinson has gone over 19.5 yards eight times, but he didn’t get there against Florida in the SEC Championship or against Notre Dame. All it takes, though, is one big dash, and if this somehow turns into any sort of Bama blowout, he’ll get the ball late.
6. Alabama RB Najee Harris to score the first TD
LINE: +325
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
Going back to the first item on the list at No. 10. Alabama has scored first in 11 of the 12 games, and it scored the first touchdown in nine of the 12. Out of those nine, how many games did Najee Harris score the first TD on the first score of the contest?
Five.
At +325, he’s worth the flier.
