Notre Dame hasn't lost since Week 2. The Irish have gone 13-0 SU, 12-1 ATS. It's rare to find such a public team as Notre Dame being so mispriced and undervalued week after week. I find that once again to be the case in this title game matchup with Ohio State favored by too many points.

Ohio State has looked fantastic in the playoffs since getting upset by Michigan. The Buckeyes have rolled over Tennessee, Oregon and Texas. They've built quite a betting bandwagon by accomplishing that. But I don't see them doing that to Notre Dame.

The two teams had three common opponents - Indiana, Penn State and Purdue. Both went 3-0 SU and ATS against those foes. Ohio State's winning margin was 25 points against those three schools. Notre Dame's winning percentage versus them was 24 points.

I consider the quarterback close to even along with the offensive and defensive lines. Ohio State has the better skill position talent, but Notre Dame has the edge in special teams and coaching.

The turnover margin is heavily in Notre Dame's favor. The Irish are plus 17 in takeaways/giveaways while the Buckeyes are plus 5.
