The line has rebounded slightly since opening in favor of No. 1 Alabama (12-0 SU; 8-4 A)) as a seven-point multi-store favorite in Las Vegas over Ohio State (7-0 SU; 4-3 A) ) with the line currently showing Crimson Tide as favorites of -7.5 in DraftKings Sportsbook.
The public increased the number to -8.5 in Las Vegas after it opened on January 2, but the hard money quickly brought the number to 7.5 points at variousports booksk Be
Punters will find it difficult to stand in front of the Alabama train led by quarterback Mac Jones (3,379 passing yards; 36 touchdowns) after the command he showed in his junior season in Tuscaloosa. At the Rose Bowl, Jones was simply flawless, completing 25 of 30 passes for 297 yards and four touchdowns in his 31-14 victory over No. 4 Notre Dame in the Rose Bowl Semifinal playoff game.
Having weapons like wide receiver DeVonta Smith and running bacNameee Harris at his disposal makes Tide’s offensive attack a nightmare to defend. blacksmith has an incredible 105 receptions for 1,641 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns this season. Nohisim prohibitive favorite to win the Heisman Trophy (-835)Smith has had an astonishing 22 receptions for 314 yards and five touchdowns in his last two game Be Harris has been nearly unstoppable on the ground this season, recording the most rushing touchdowns (24) in the nation and for 1,387 rushing yard Be

However, in the CFP semifinal victory over Notre Dame, the Tide left the back door open; allowing a rushing touchdown from Ian Book with only: 56 seconds remaining to prevent punters from cashing in on their Alabama tickets (-19). In just the last five games, Crimson Tide has crushed their opponents, outscoring them 336-96.
Ohio State, on the other hand, surprised many across the country with its convincing 49-28 win over Trevor Lawrence and the Clemson Tigers in the Sugar Bowl Semifinal playoff showdown. Perhaps the biggest surprise was seeing quarterback Justin Fields outplay Lawrence; completing 22 of 28 passes for 385 yards and six touchdown Be The biggest question mark surrounding the pregame at the start of next week is hohisealthFieldds will be after sustaining a rib injury in the win. If Ohio State wants to have any chance to compete with Alabama on the biggest stage of the season, they’ll need a healthFieldds against a fierce front-seven from Crimson Tide.
If Fields plays at less than his maximum strength, Ohio State is expected to rely heavily on running back Trey Sermon, who has been sensational in the club’s past two games, gaining 424 yards rushing and adding three touchdown Be Sermon’s performances have drawn comparisons to the incredible postseason success of another elite Buckeye running back: EzekieElliotttt. The Sugar Bowl’s outstanding performance of 230 rushing yards and two touchdowns was instrumental in the school’s 42-35 loss to Alabama in the 2015 Championship Game.
They will likely need a similar dominant performance on the ground if they hope to pull off the big surprise and reward thmoney linene supporters who go that route with +235 odd Be
The way bettors view these two teams has never been more apparent. Looking at the power ranking disparity, you get a near-total touchdown-plus difference. However, as always, the game is played within the blank lines, not in the back office of the Las Vegasports booksk Be
