Ohio State's recent upset loss to Michigan raised questions about the program, but a strong playoff performance has positioned them as heavy championship favorites, despite concerns.
BetMGM Sportsbook and Caesars Sportsbook each had Ohio State favored by 9 points, the second-biggest line since the playoff's inception, indicating strong confidence in their capabilities.
Handicapper Bruce Marshall cautioned that the matchup between Ohio State and Notre Dame might be closer than predicted, emphasizing that he does not expect a runaway victory for Ohio State.
Caesars' Joey Feazel noted surprising early betting on Notre Dame, suggesting a potential shift in expectations as more bettors look at Notre Dame's chances.
