- Ohio State is favored by 8 points against Notre Dame.
- Notre Dame is seeing over 50% of bets and betting handle to cover the spread.
ATLANTA – Plenty of time has gone by since the National Championship odds between Ohio State and Notre Dame have opened to gauge how bettors are placing their bets.
Using public betting splits to bet on college football prop betting sites is key as it shows which way the public is leaning across the board.
Public Betting Splits
Getting right into it on the spread, the public has spoken and they are all over Notre Dame covering the 8 points as an underdog in this one. 54% of the total bets and 65% of the betting handle on college football sportsbooks are all coming in on the Irish +8.
Where things get tricky for the public splits on the spread though are when looking at National Championship betting trends that show seven of the last 10 title games being decided by 8+ points.
On the point total, the over is what’s taking heavy action with a massive 67% of betting tickets and 53% of the money being bet. Here, both defenses are ranked first and second in the country in terms of points allowed per game combining for just 26.5 points allowed to opponents per game.
Given that the public is heavily on the wrong side of trends for both the spread and total, this presents a great opportunity to fade the public.
