Alabama remains the heavy favorite and Louisville is third choice. I see a lot of value betting against Alabama, if you are into that type of thing. I believe Alabam is the best team but their kryptonite is a dual-threat quarterback. Ohio State, Louisville and Clemson (who I believe should all be in the playoffs) all have quarterbacks who posses the dual-threat ability. D. Watson accounted for 478 yards and 4 touchdowns last year in the national championship game vs Alabama. I know Clemson didn’t end up winning but they were close. This year, if the top 4 betting choices make the playoffs, Bama would have to face its kryptonite in the semifinal and final game in order to win the championship. From a betting value standpoint I say no thank you. I’ll put my money with my heart and lay it all on my Cards!
