00:00eight and a half point spread in favor of the Buckeyes total 45 and a hook and as Donnie said it is now time for your

00:08National Championship pick three otherwise known in college football as the triple option our favorite side

00:16total and prop for tonight's national championship game the RS, Ohio State

00:22outscoring opponents by on average by

00:2519.7 points per game throughout the three games so far in the CFP more than a touchdown

00:32Favorite to win a national championship

00:34Tonight will the Buckeyes cover will this game be closer than we expect?

00:39What is your favorite side for tonight's title game in Atlanta?

00:43There's only two sides to go with I'm gonna take the points with the Notre Dame

00:47Fighting Irish here and why am I picking Notre Dame because I do think that offense can be

00:52Opportunistic when it needs to and I know there's a lot of slander on how much better Ohio State is man for man

00:57Which is correct here

00:58But you look at the length of the season the teams that they played and the points that they scored for Notre Dame and the defense

01:05They play there's no reason to believe that Notre Dame won't be involved in this game with a legitimate chance to win even though

01:10I don't think they will but I'm certainly not gonna pass up eight and a half points on a neutral site with a football team

01:16That's built on good defense and a ground attack and a veteran

01:19quarterback that can make plays when he's need to and it's already come back from a deficit against Penn State in the final moments of

01:26The game to rise and shine. That's where I'm going in this one

01:28Don't love them to win the game with a legitimate chance to actually pop the upset

01:32But there's no reason to believe this game won't be a one-possession game in the fourth quarter and I'll take my chances

01:38with the eight and a half points I

01:40Have said it many a time. I'll say it one final time

01:43I have a national championship ticket on both teams that will square off to be crowned a national champion tonight

01:49I feel good about where I stand

01:51I do believe that ticket on Ohio State that I bet back in the first week of October

01:56Will be the one that actually wins this evening, but much like Donnie

02:00I think Notre Dame's defense is good enough to keep them within striking distance of this game

02:05And I think the fighting Irish offense that is predicated on establishing that run like we are doing here in the triple option

02:12We'll do enough to keep the Irish within that margin Notre Dame

02:16Plus eight and a half and Donnie

02:19I think we have a correlated thought on how that might go

02:23When they total of 45 and a hulk against the nation's best scoring defense in

02:28Ohio State if the Irish is the key pace they need to score and be successful

02:34Offensively, what is your favorite total tonight in the national championship?

02:38I'm gonna go with the team total and one of those team totals was Notre Dame here at 17 and a half

02:43The other one was Ohio State hovering around that can we score close to four touchdowns?

02:47I thought to myself

02:47I just go back game by game script by script and say Notre Dame to get to 20 points is essentially what you're asking for

02:53They should be able to do that here even in a blowout bed

02:56Even in a close game where they're still under wraps at this point

02:59They haven't shown any propensity to be a really bad

03:02Offensive team and also I get how good Ohio State is still quality

03:06Offensive players at running back quarterback and a good offensive line for Notre Dame

03:10They should be able to put points up

03:11You don't have to win the game or cover enough for them to think they can cross over to 18 plus points in this game

03:17So for me, I just want to take the simple route

03:19I'm gonna get an honest effort out of Notre Dame and you're always in this now

03:23Of course if they have three points in the fourth quarter, that's gonna be some tough doing but in what shape are you saying that?

03:28Notre Dame won't even be competitive enough to have double digits by the time they enter the fourth quarter

03:33I'm not buying that give me Notre Dame's team total over 17 and a half

03:37There have been times this year where Ohio State has allowed a yardage on the ground

03:42Of course, that would be heavily beneficial for this fighting Irish offensive scheme tonight

03:49Coordinated by Mike Denbrock Riley Leonard Jeremiah love to Darion price getting back in the fold after a quiet game

03:56Against Penn State and Aeneas Williams out of the backfield

04:00Ohio State only allowed 58 rushing yards to Texas just about two yards per carry

04:06But they did allow Jaden blue to have a receiving score in

04:11To receiving scores. I should say in Quintry beyond

04:14Why is there for Texas to be heavily involved in a past game as well?

04:18That's where I think you look to Aeneas Williams tonight for Notre Dame. Yeah, honey. I'm not thinking this game is a shootout

04:24I don't think we see 60 points. I don't think we see 70 points heck

04:28We might not even see 50, but I do believe we can go over 45 and a half

04:33Also because Ohio State offensively has been elite throughout the college football playoff

04:38But I do believe Notre Dame to keep this game even remotely competitive is going to have to score

04:45Over 45 and a half is how I look at it

04:49This is not a Notre Dame team that has gotten here because they win games 17 to 14 all year long

04:55This is a Notre Dame team that ranked third in

04:58Scoring offense this season in points per game the first time in more than two decades

05:04The Irish have been a top five scoring offense

05:08nationally in

05:09College football so DRS as we look now for our favorite prop to route out the triple option

05:15What gets your attention in the national title game?

05:18Let's have a fun one here at the fan blue sportsbook. How about fourth quarter points total over ten and a half?

05:24We usually know the fourth quarter

05:25Even if it's close still tends to get squirrely at times you have teams that might be blowing a team out giving up easy

05:31Yardage and easy points going one direction and also the ability for one team

05:35Technically running out the clock hitting home runs on the ground with very good running backs like Ohio State and the one thing I do

05:41Understand about this. I've said during the year multiple times sometimes not about style points like in the playoffs Ben survive in advance

05:47You see style points a lot in national championship games

05:50This is the last go-around for some of these players if they're up 14 points on the 18-yard line with four minutes to go

05:56Ryan days punch you get another touchdown and vice versa for Marcus Freeman. Let's go over ten and a half for the fourth quarter

06:0431 total points in the Orange Bowl in the college football playoffs semi-final in that fourth quarter between the Irish and Penn State

06:1214 points all scored by Ohio State in the fourth quarter of the Cottonball

06:17I'll talk more about my prop on the other side

06:19But it is a Mecca abuca over

06:2259 and a half one of the tough things about not living in the Great Garden State

06:26You can't bet college football player props in New York

06:30This number was 55 and a hook earlier this week when I gave it out on sports grid with our partners
