Ohio State vs. Oregon Betting Lines and Pick
By: Michael Robinson
Sportingnews.com

Oregon is just under a touchdown favorite as it gets ready to meet Ohio State in the first College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday (8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN). The game is being played indoors at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The point spread is in contrast to the Don Best/Linemakers Power Ratings, which has Oregon just 1.5-points better than Ohio State on a neutral field.

The total moved up several points in early wagering after the two semifinals averaged 78 points, both going OVER. Oregon (47.2 PPG) ranks second nationally in scoring and Ohio State (45.0 PPG) fifth.

The Line: Oregon -6.5, Total: 75

Line movement: Oregon opened as a touchdown favorite in Las Vegas, but moved down to as low as -6 in the week preceding the game. The total opened as low as 70.5 and moved up to the 75 to 75.5 range. Visit our live odds page for updated spreads and totals from around Las Vegas.

Trends that matter: Oregon is 9-0 ATS in its last nine games....Oregon is 4-0 ATS in its last four bowl games....The OVER is 12-1 in Ohio State’s last 13 games.

Meyer gets coaching edge: Ohio State has won seven national titles, most recently in the 2002 season under Jim Tressel. Current coach Urban Meyer won two national titles with Florida and won’t be fazed under the big spotlight.

The Ducks are still searching for their first national championship. They lost to Auburn in the January 2011 title game, 22-19 as 1-point favorites, with Chip Kelly the head coach and Mark Helfrich the offensive coordinator. Helfrich took over the reins at the start of last year, and his relative inexperience could be a factor.

OSU offense playing balanced: The Buckeyes (13-1 SU, 9-5 ATS) brought respect back to the Big Ten with their semi-final win over Alabama, 42-35 as 7.5-point dogs in the Sugar Bowl. They were 1-9 in their prior 10 bowl games against the SEC, with the one win vacated due to sanctions.

Cardale Jones has come out of obscurity as the No. 3 quarterback to lead Ohio State the last two games. He was 12-of-17 for 257 yards (three touchdowns and no interceptions) in the 59-0 rout over Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game. He was 18-of-35 for 243 yards (one touchdown and interception) against the tough Alabama defense.

Ohio State’s offense is balanced with Ezekiel Elliott coming off a 235-yard effort (11.5 per carry). The Bama run defense was allowing just 2.8 ypc heading into the contest. The 6-foot-5, 250-pound Jones looks extremely confident and has two excellent receivers in Devin Smith (886 yards) and Michael Thomas (746 yards).

Oregon with injuries to watch: The Pac-12 Ducks (13-1 SU, 10-4 ATS) have won and covered the spread in their last nine games. The average margin of victory is 27.4 points, with the biggest blowout the 59-20 win, as 8-point favorites, over Florida State in the semifinal.

Heisman-winning quarterback Marcus Mariota has put up video game-type numbers with 4,121 passing yards, 40 touchdowns and just three interceptions. The team won’t have third-leading receiver Devon Allen (684 yards), but there are tons of other weapons (rushing and receiving) in this fast-paced offense. Oregon scored its 59 points against Florida State despite losing time of possession (33-27 minutes).

Oregon’s defense gives up a lot of yards (421.9 YPG, 84th nationally), mainly since it’s on the field so much, but has caused 30 turnovers, including five in the Rose Bowl vs. FSU. All-American cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu is out for the second straight game, and Ohio State should target his replacement, redshirt freshman Chris Seisay.

The Linemakers lean: Both teams are going to score, and the OVER -- as high as it seems -- looks like the play. We‘re going to need 11 touchdowns to cash our ticket, and while that may sound insane, Oregon averages 47 ppg and Ohio State 45. Kenny White and Micah Roberts are both on board with the OVER.

On the side, Roberts believes the Buckeyes can pull off the upset because of a defense that has both size and speed and allows 86 yards less per game. Questions about Cardale Jones are long gone, and if Florida State can put 528 yards and run wild on Oregon’s defense, then the Buckeyes' offensive-line should be able to create the same advantage at the point of attack.

The top play here is the OVER, with Roberts optimistic about a celebration of burning couches on the streets of Columbus.

Re: NCAAF Championship Betting Info

National Title Game

First-ever national title game where teams in effect play two bowl games this one 11 days after the national semifinals. Uncharted territory.

Ohio State is 3-3 in its last six bowls, upsetting Oregon 26-17 (+4) five years ago in Rose Bowl. Oregon is 4-0 in bowls since losing to Auburn in national title game four years ago; their last three bowl wins were all by 18+ points- they crushed Florida State 59-20 in Rose Bowl.

Oregon's loss was October 2 at home to Arizona, a weeknight game; in nine wins since then, Ducks scored 42+ points every game, scored 50+ in four of nine- they're 8-0 vs spread in games where spread was less than 20 points. Buckeyes were underdog in three of last six games; their only loss was Sept 6 at home to Virginia Tech.

Buckeye QB Jones has only started three games, but is hardly a typical 3rd-string QB; he is much better than that. Mariota won Heisman has 40 starts under his belt- he rates the edge here.

Freshman WR Carrington (failed drug test- weed) is out for Oregon; he was stellar vs Florida State, with two TDs and 150+ receiving yards, so thats a problem for Ducks.

I'm not sure Meyer is a better coach than Helfrich, but he's done more as a head coach, including winning a national title, so he rates the edge here. Meyer is 8-2 in bowl games, Helfrich 2-0. In combined eight years at Florida/Ohio State, Meyer is 2-2 vs spread when the underdog.

Pac-12 teams are 6-1 this season vs Big 14 teams; they're 4-3 in their last seven bowl games against Big 14 teams.

National Championship Betting Preview
By Covers.com

Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Oregon Ducks (-5.5, 74)

Fourth-seeded Ohio State and second-seeded Oregon earned the honors of playing in the first College Football Playoff title game when the schools square off at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Jan. 12. The Buckeyes barely squeezed into the four-team playoff system with a strong season-ending push and produced an epic 42-35 victory over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. The Ducks have been on a season-long scoring frenzy and took their dominance to another level with a powerful 59-20 rout of defending champion Florida State in the Rose Bowl.

Oregon has the star attraction with quarterback Marcus Mariota, the landslide winner of the 2014 Heisman Trophy voting who passed for 4,111 yards and 40 touchdowns and rushed for 731 yards and 15 scores. While Mariota is expected to be one of the first picks in the NFL Draft if he declares, Ohio State will again be counting on third-stringer Cardale Jones after losing Braxton Miller (shoulder) and J.T. Barrett (ankle) to season-ending injuries. Jones has thrown six touchdown passes and been intercepted once in 69 attempts, and engineered back-to-back wins over Wisconsin (59-0) and Alabama.

Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer is chasing his third national title – his first two were at Florida – with a squad that was all but ruled out when it lost to Virginia Tech in early September. Instead, the Buckeyes possess the nation’s longest winning streak (12) and is trying to match the school record of 14 victories. Oregon has already set a school record for victories and is playing in its second national championship game – the first being when Cam Newton-led Auburn pulled out a 22-19 win over the Ducks following the 2010 season.

LINE HISTORY: Oregon opened as 7-point favorites but now sit -5.5. The total opened anywhere from 72.5 to 76, but is currently 74.

INJURY REPORT: Buckeyes - TE Jeff Heuerman (Probable, foot), RB Dontre Wilson (Probable, foot). Ducks - OL Andre Yruretagoyena (Probable, ankle), RB Kani Benoit (Probable, possible suspension), DE Christian French (Questionable, possible suspension), WR Devon Allen (Doubtful, knee).

WHAT BOOKS SAY: "When we opened the game on January 2nd, 85 percent of cash in the first 10 hours was on Oregon -7, so we moved the Ducks to -7.5. On January 4th, we got sharp play on the Buckeyes +7.5, so moved Ducks back to -7. Another sharp play game on Ohio State +7 on January 7th, so moved Oregon to -6.5. January 10th, we moved Oregon to -6, to stay in line with most of the market. Betting trends: 65 percent of cash and 69 percent of bets on the spread are backing the Ducks. 75 percent of cash on the moneyline is taking the Buckeyes +160 (Moneyline opened Oregon -240/Buckeyes +200). Total opened 74.5, climbed to 75.5 and now is at 75. No sharp action on it. 57 percent of bets on the OVER and 5 percent of cash on the UNDER." Mike Jerome, TopBet.eu.

ABOUT OHIO STATE (13-1 SU, 9-5 ATS, 12-2 O/U): Running back Ezekiel Elliott rushed for a Sugar Bowl-record 230 yards – including a dynamic 85-yard scoring run – and his 1,632 rushing yards rank fourth in Buckeyes’ history behind Eddie George (1,927 in 1995), Keith Byars (1,764, 1984) and Archie Griffin (1,695, 1974). Big play receiver Devin Smith caught his 30th career touchdown pass in the Sugar Bowl – a 47-yard catch – and is averaging 27.7 yards per reception this season while scoring 12 TDs on 32 catches. The defensive standouts include weak-side linebacker Joshua Perry (team-leading 118 tackles), safety Vonn Bell (86 tackles, team-best six interceptions), defensive end Joey Bosa (team-high 13.5 sacks), strong-side linebacker Darron Lee (7.5 sacks) and cornerback Doran Grant (five interceptions).

ABOUT OREGON (13-1 SU, 10-4 ATS, 7-6-1 O/U): Mariota guided the attack to Rose Bowl records for points and yardage (639) while accounting for three scores (two passing, one rushing), passing for 338 and rushing for 62 more. The Ducks have two fine backfield options in Royce Freeman (1,343 yards, 18 touchdowns) and Thomas Tyner (511 yards, five touchdowns) while receiver Darren Carrington (37 catches, 704 yards) is emerging as a star after having seven receptions for 165 yards and two touchdowns in the Rose Bowl. Defensively, free safety Erick Dargan leads the team with 90 tackles and seven interceptions and had one pick and one forced fumble in the Rose Bowl while outside linebacker Tony Washington (six sacks) was part of one of the memorable plays in the Rose Bowl when Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston lost a fumble and Washington returned it 58 yards for a touchdown.

TRENDS:

* Buckeyes are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 vs. Pac-12.
* Ducks are 4-0 ATS in their last four bowl games.
* Over is 21-5 in Buckeyes last 26 games overall.
* Under is 5-2 in Ducks last seven bowl games.

COVERS CONSENSUS: According to Covers Consensus, 58 percent of bettors are backing the Oregon Ducks.

Re: NCAAF Championship Betting Info

Total Notes - Oregon vs. Ohio State
By Chris David
VegasInsider.com

Oregon and Ohio State will meet on Monday at AT&T Stadium from Arlington, Texas for the inaugural College Football Playoff championship game.

Oddsmakers at the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas are expecting a shootout in the finale as they opened the total at 70 ½ points after the matchup was set last Thursday.

The early money jumped all over the initial offering and pushed the total up to 75 ½ points. This past Friday, the number dropped back down to 74 ½ and that’s where it sits across the board as of Sunday.

The move came after Oregon announced that wide receiver Darren Carrington was suspended for the game due to failed drug test. The redshirt freshman had his best game of the season in the Ducks’ 59-20 win against Florida State in the Rose Bowl, catching seven passes for 165 yards and two scores. Many believe filling his shoes won’t be easy, especially bettors. Oregon opened as a seven-point favorite and that number has dropped to five at most shops.

From a total perspective, it’s safe to say that Oregon’s fast-paced attack is a system and as long as you have a quarterback, wide receivers are a dime a dozen there. Seriously, can anybody name an All-Pro wide receiver in the NFL from Oregon?

All season long, I leaned on VegasInsider.com handicapper James Manos for his total thoughts and he returns for championship.

“I'm a little surprised at the significant movement upward in this game but I think it's easy to see where some of this is coming from,” said Manos.

“This year's bowl campaign has seen a multitude of higher scoring affairs and not just in the bowl games that featured offensive minded teams in insignificant bowls. The January 1st bowls saw all five major bowls exceed their opening totals, with four of five exceeding their closing totals as well. The two semi-final matchups saw combined totals of 79 and 77 points.”

“Combine that with the fact that Oregon's scored 51 in the Pac-12 Championship game and Ohio State scored 59 in the Big 10 Championship game and the public's perception that ALL Oregon totals go OVER and you have a recipe for the public backing the OVER in this game.”

Manos is correct that people assume Oregon with the ‘over’ but the results weren’t there this season at the betting counter. The Ducks saw the ‘under’ go 7-5-1 even though the offense averaged 46.1 points per game, which was ranked third nationally.

In its 13 games, Oregon has had seven totals listed at 70 points or more. The ‘under’ went 5-2 in those games.

While the Ducks leaned to the ‘under’ this season, Ohio State was the best ‘over’ (12-2) producing team in the nation. The numbers are directly attributed to the offensive style that head coach Urban Meyer has brought to the program. Including this season, the Buckeyes have seen the ‘over’ go 28-12 (70%) since he arrived in Columbus.

As Manos mentioned, he’s note surprised by the move but was taken back a little bit that the initial shift came from the professional bettors or what many refer to as sharps.

He explained, “I think the sharps have a different reason for pushing this total upward though. My belief is that someone really wants to play UNDER 77 in this contest and you'll see an immediate and large buyback if this total reaches that number, which is now likely doubtful due to the announced suspension. Despite all the scoring, Ohio State exceeded 77 combined points just twice this season and Oregon just three times. There are fundamental reasons to prefer the UNDER, extra time for defenses to game plan, Ohio State's preference to run the football, nerves of the first ever Playoff Championship game, etc. and I think we'll see this number come down prior to game time. I prefer the UNDER at any number 76 or above and feel this game falls into this category.”

It will probably take a lot of public money to see this total reach 76 or 77 but this game is garnering attention according to Jay Kornegay, Vice President of the Westgate SuperBook.

Kornegay said, “The handle is pretty solid, similar numbers to a good NFL playoff game. We’ve received steady two-way action as of Sunday but the bigger tickets are on Ohio State while Oregon is ruling the ticket count. I think the public will play the total up by Monday but the sharps won’t let it go too far.”

We asked Manos for his opinion on the game and how it will play out. He said, “It should be an entertaining game either way. My projections have this game 37-32 with Oregon taking the title but I disagree a bit. I think that the Buckeyes can win the line of scrimmage and Urban Meyer has a HUGE coaching advantage.”

Bowl Total Notes

The ‘over’ went 23-14-1 (62%) in the first 38 bowl games.

The Big Ten played in 10 bowls this postseason and the ‘over’ went 7-2-1 (77%).

The Pac-12 played in eight bowls this postseason and the ‘over’ went 6-2 (75%).

The two conferences have collided twice this postseason:
USC 45 Nebraska 42 OVER 63
Stanford 45 Maryland 21 OVER 44½

Head-to-Head Total Notes

Ohio State defeated Oregon 26-17 in the 2010 Rose Bowl. The combined 43 points fell ‘under’ the closing total of 53.

Since 2008, Oregon has faced six Big Ten opponents. The ‘over/under’ has gone 3-3 in these games.

During the same span, Ohio State has faced six Pac-12 schools and the total has produced a middling 3-3 mark.

Postseason Notes

Ohio State has watched the ‘over’ go 4-0 in four postseason games under Meyer, which includes a pair of bowls and Big Ten title games.

Since 2010 when Oregon begin to make a name for itself, the Ducks have seen the ‘under’ go 4-2 in bowl games, which includes their recent victory over the Seminoles in the Rose Bowl. The Ducks have played in two Pac-12 title games and despite scoring 49 and 51, the total went 1-1.

Championship Trends

History

The BCS Championship Era had 16 matchups and the total has been a wash (8-8).

Oregon lost in the 2011 title to Auburn 22-19 and the closing total of 73, which was the highest-ever for a championship, was never threatened.

Ohio State has played in three title games and all three went ‘over’ the number. The Buckeyes have one championship to their credit but most Miami Hurricanes fans will still tell you otherwise.

Ohio State vs. Oregon
By Brian Edwards
VegasInsider.com

The first College Football Playoff National Championship is -- at long last -- upon us. Ohio State and Oregon are set to square off Monday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.

On Saturday morning, Oregon received terrible news when wide receiver Darren Carrington was suspended for testing positive for marijuana. Carrington had seven receptions for 165 yards in last week's win over Florida State For the season, he had made 37 catches for 704 yards and four touchdowns.

This takes another weapon away from Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota, who was already without starting TE Pharaoh Brown, who had 25 receptions for 420 yards and six TDs before sustaining a serious knee injury in the Ducks' ninth game at Utah. Also, Oregon redshirt freshman WR Devon Allen is 'out' after getting injured on the opening kickoff vs. FSU. Allen has 41 catches for 674 yards and seven TDs.

The Westgate SuperBook opened Oregon as a seven-point favorite with a total of 73.5.

As of Thursday night, most betting shops had Oregon (13-1 straight up, 10-4 against the spread) listed as a 6.5-point favorite with a total of 75.5 points for 'over/under' wagers. At that time, gamblers were able to take the Buckeyes on the money line for a +185 payout (risk $100 to win $185).

Once the word of Carrington's suspension leaked out early Saturday, most books moved the number down to five. However, as of Sunday afternoon, the line was back up to six. The total was at 74.5 or 75 and the Buckeyes were +170 on the money line.

For first-half wagers, the Ducks are favored by 3.5 with a total of 37.5.

Since suffering its lone loss at home to Arizona, Oregon has won eight in a row both SU and ATS, including six wins over bowl-bound opponents. All eight of those wins came by margins of 12 points or more. The Ducks beat UCLA by 12, Stanford by 29, Washington by 25, Utah by 24, FSU by 39 and Arizona by 38.

Ohio State (13-1 SU, 9-5 ATS) has won 12 consecutive games and will play for the national title despite relying on a third-string QB in its last two games. Braxton Miller, the two-time Big Ten Player of the Year, was lost to a season-ending shoulder injury in late August. Therefore, redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett became the starter.

Barrett responded with a spectacular season, posting a 34/10 touchdown-to-interception ratio. He also rushed for 938 yards and 11 TDs. In the regular-season finale, however, Barrett sustained a season-ending injury.

With Barrett out, Cardale Jones made his first career start at the Big Ten Championship Game. As a four-point underdog, Ohio State improbably blasted Wisconsin 59-0 to take the conference crown. Then last week at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, the Buckeyes won a 42-35 decision over Alabama as 7.5-point underdogs.

Ezekiel Elliott was the catalyst against the Crimson Tide, rushing 20 times for 230 yards and a pair of TDs, including an 85-yard scamper to daydirt with 3:24 remaining to put his team in front by 14 points. Jones completed 18-of-35 throws for 243 yards and one TD. He rushed for 43 yards on 17 totes.

For the season, Jones has connected on 40-of-69 passes (58%) for 618 yards with a 6/1 TD-INT ratio. In the win over Wisconsin, Jones completed 12-of-17 passes for 257 yards and three TDs without an interception. Devin Smith had all three of those TD receptions and had one against Alabama. Smith is one of the nation's best deep threats, averaging 27.7 yards per catch. He has 32 receptions for 886 yards and 12 TDs.

Elliott rushed for 220 yards against the Badgers. For the year, he has 1,632 rushing yards and 14 TDs, averaging 6.9 yards per carry.

Mariota's numbers this season have been insane. He has 40 TD passes compared to merely three interceptions. Mariota has run for 731 yards and 15 TDs. His favorite target is Byron Marshall, who has 66 receptions for 834 yards and five TDs. Royce Freeman has rushed for a team-best 1,343 yards and 18 TDs while averaging 5.5 YPC.

Oregon smashed FSU by a 59-20 count as a 7.5-point favorite at last week's Rose Bowl. Mariota threw for 338 yards and a pair of TDs. He also rushed for 62 yards and one TD on eight carries. Thomas Tyner and Freeman both had a pair of rushing scores, with Tyner rushing for a team-high 124 yards.

Oregon is a perfect 4-0 ATS as a single-digit favorite. Meanwhile, Ohio State has won outright in a pair of games as an underdog this year.

The 'over' is on a 12-1 run for Ohio State and has gone 12-2 overall. This is the highest total the Buckeyes have seen this year. The previous high was 66.5 in a 42-27 win over Indiana that saw the 69 combined points slip 'over' the tally. Only four of Ohio State's 14 games have had 76 combined points or more. The average combined score in Buckeye games is 67.1 points per game.

Oregon has seen seven totals in the 70s and they've been a wash (3-3-1). The 'over' is 7-6-1 overall for the Ducks, whose games have averaged a combined score of 69.5 PPG. We should note, however, that they had seen three straight 'under' appearances until the 'over' cashed in the blowout win over the 'Noles. Also, only four of Oregon's 14 games have had 75 combined points or more.

Sportsbook.ag has a slew of proposition bets posted. For instance, there are adjusted numbers with odds for the side.

For bettors that are extremely bullish on the Buckeyes, you can take them -3.5 points for a +225 return (risk $100 to win $225). One can also back Ohio State -7.5 points to earn a +350 payout.

On the flip side, gamblers can back Oregon to win by 22 points or more for a +225 return. The offshore website will have adjusted numbers for the total also, but they weren't up yet as of Sunday afternoon.
