Bettors who are even thinking of swinging Ohio State’s way should think again despite their incredible offensive performance in the playoff semifinals. Alabama is a whole different ball game as they have not trailed at the end of the first quarter all season long.
The closest that they have ever come to trailing in the first quarter was during their games with #3 Georgia at the time and Ole Miss where they were tied 7-7 at the end of the first quarter in each game.

Other than that, Alabama has had no problems covering the half-point spread at all in their other games. In fact, in five of the 10 games that they were leading at the end of the first quarter this season, they were even up by more than a touchdown - which should back up them covering the spread even more.
Looking at Ohio State’s side of things, they also have had an impressive streak of not trailing at the quarter this season with the exception of their last two games. Here, they were tied at the end of the first against Clemson in the playoff semifinal and were down 7-3 against Northwestern in the Big 10 Championship.
Being that in Ohio State’s last two games, they have not been able to take control in the first quarter, bettors should not hesitate to take Alabama’s college football odds at all.
