College Football Playoff betting preview

Top-seeded Indiana takes on No. 9 Alabama in what will likely be one of the most highly anticipated games of the entire College Football Playoff in a 4 p.m. ET Rose Bowl matchup. Some have been skeptical about Indiana this season due to the program's lack of pedigree, but after a Big Ten championship victory over Ohio State, it's hard to deny this team's ability to win it all. Led by Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza, Indiana enters at 13-0. Meanwhile, Alabama is playing in the CFP for the ninth time in the 12 years of the College Football Playoff era. The Crimson Tide (11-3) have won three national championships during that span, the most in history, and are always a dangerous team come January. Indiana is favored by 7.5 points, with an over/under set at 46.5 points.

The Thursday quarterfinal slate concludes with No. 3 Georgia vs. No. 6 Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl at 8 p.m. ET. These two teams met in the regular season, with Georgia needing a fourth-quarter comeback at home to knock off the Rebels. The Bulldogs outscored Ole Miss, 17-0, in the fourth quarter of their 43-35 victory. The biggest difference in this rematch comes off the field, with Lane Kiffin not coaching Ole Miss after accepting the head coaching position at LSU. Ole Miss is the No. 10 scoring team in the nation at 36.6 points per game, going against Kirby Smart's No. 10 scoring defense at 16.8 ppg allowed this year. Georgia enters its fourth CFP over the last five years and is favored by six points at Fanatics. The over/under is set at 54.5 points. Click here to sign up for Fanatics Sportsbook to bet and get up to $2,000 in No Sweat Bets in FanCash at Fanatics:
