Moneyline: Ohio State (-355). Ohio State has dominated the CFP and looks like the better team right now. Spread: Notre Dame +7.5 (-105). Notre Dame is 15-0 against this spread this season and should keep the game close with its stout defense.

On the other side of the ball, Notre Dame’s defense will have its hands full with Ohio State’s offense, particularly standout freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith. While Texas managed to hold Smith to just one catch for three yards in the semifinals, he was unstoppable in the first two CFP games, racking up a combined 290 receiving yards.

Jack Sawyer's 83-yard scoop-and-score touchdown after stripping Quinn Ewers on fourth-and-goal with 2:13 left sealed the Buckeyes' 28-14 win over the Longhorns
