Are you ready to sink your dollars into Sonny Dykes and his TCU team? Does Georgia feel like the (Kirby) Smart team to trust your betting bank balance with?
There have been some minor fluctuations in the Georgia vs. TCU odds since our early College Football National Championship Game prediction, so let’s examine them and see if they indicate a seismic shift in what could happen in SoFi Stadium.
Georgia opened as a 13-point favorite via DraftKings Sportsbook, and that’s come in by half a point. With an average margin of victory of 24.6 points and winning 11 of their 14 games this year by more than 13, that isn’t a significant shift other than a touchdown and two field goals advantage will now cover, whereas it wouldn’t have earlier in the week.

Don’t forget, however, that the Bulldogs only covered 50% of their games this season. Meanwhile, TCU has been one of the most competent teams covering the spread this year. They’re 10-3-1 ATS, covering in 76.9% of their games and by an average of nine points per game. The shrinking of the spread line in the latest Georgia vs. TCU odds makes backing the Horned Frogs ATS even more sense now.
A slight shift in the moneyline — Georgia is now -435 compared to -475 to start the week — and a minor increase in the over/under line (63 compared to 62.5) would suggest that there is money going down on TCU.
The Horned Frogs have hit the over in 57.1% of their games, and an increase in the over/under would suggest a shootout rather than a defensively dominant defense of their title by Georgia. What does our College Football National Championship Game prediction say?
