Since 1999, no online sportsbook has ever set a spread for the National Championship game of more than 11 points. There have been only three teams since then than have been favored by double digits in the title game.
- 2001 Florida State Seminoles (-10)
- 2003 Miami Hurricanes (-11)
- 2013 Alabama Crimson Tide (-10)
A double-digit spread has not been favorable for those betting the favorites with Alabama being the only winner of the three on college football betting sites.
How They’ve Faired Vs. The Spread
Yes, Georgia is heavily favored, but they have done a terrible job against the spread this season for a defending National Champion. Granted, they’ve had nine spreads set at 20+ points this year, however, they failed to cover against notable underdogs in Missouri, Kent State, Samford, and Georgia Tech leaving them with a 7-7 ATS record.
