2 B1G teams have cracked the College Football Playoff. The Ohio State Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines are set to battle for the ultimate prize in just under a month.
And right on cue, betting lines for the 2 matchups have been unveiled via DraftKings. Here are the lines as of Sunday afternoon.
It’s surprising that Michigan is considered pretty heavy favorites over TCU, a team that has kept every game its played close this season. Of course, the Horded Frogs have not played a team like the Wolverines this year.
Ohio State will have a tough time against the reigning national champions. Truth be told, a 6.5 opening line is favorable. A large part of the discussion will be whether or not Jaxon Smith-Njigba will be available for the matchup.
