Moneyline: Ohio State -380, Notre Dame +300
Spread: Ohio State -8.5
Total Over/Under: 45.5

If the trend from the first three rounds of the CFP continues in the title game, Ohio State has the edge. Favorites are 9-1 straight up and 8-2 against the spread.

However, Notre Dame is responsible for the one win from an underdog in the CFP. It closed as a 1.5-point underdog prior to its 27-24 win over Penn State in the Orange Bowl. 

This will be the ninth time that Ohio State and Notre Dame have ever gone head-to-head. The Buckeyes have won the last six matchups, which includes wins over the Fighting Irish in 2022 and 2023. 

Ohio State is playing in the title game for the first time since the 2020 season and is seeking its first title since the 2014 season. Notre Dame is playing in the title game for the first time since the 2012 season and is seeking its first title since 1988.
