Entering the College Football Semifinals the current National Championsip odds at Ceasars as of today is.....

Georgia -135
Michigan +290
Ohio State +350
TCU +1600

Only 2 of those 4 teams will win the National Championship and it's the winner of the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. With that being said I'll narrow the field down to 2 with current odds, eliminating Michigan and TCU.....

Georgia -135
Ohio State +350

So let's take a look at both of those teams with Ceasars look ahead lines of potential matchups for the championship game

Georgia -8 vs Michigan
Georgia -15 vs TCU
Ohio State -3 vs Michigan
Ohio State -10 vs TCU

Obviously, if TCU upsets Michigan the money line for both Ohio State and Georgia will be very high, too high for me to place the wager. If Michigan defeats TCU, as they should, and they play Georgia that championship money line will also be to high for me to play Georgia. In the last scenario, Ohio State and Michigan, we'd be looking at a Ohio State about -150 or so to win the championship.

With all that in mind the decision becomes when is the best time to place the wager on either Georgia or Ohio State and on which team.

I know I'm not going out on a limb here but i believe Michigan defeats TCU which would be my best scenario. So, betting Georgia at -135 to win the National Championship will be my bet. If by chance Ohio State defeats Georgia and Michigan does defeat TCU I'll be able to double my money lost on Georgia and make a profit with Ohio State as the National Champion at lower odds on the money line.

So, in a nutshell this is what I'm playing before the start of the playoff.....

National Championship
Georgia -135 (risk $675 - to win $500)
Ohio State +350 (risk $100 - to win $350)
National Championship if Ohio State vs Michigan
Ohio State (risk $ - to win $1,000)

If Ohio State plays TCU for the National Championship I'll prob just play Ohio State minus the 10 or so points and hope to win the spread wager but that outcome is highly unlikely. If Ohio State can beat Georgia I'll lay more on Ohio State money line vs Michigan with already having a Ohio State +350 in my back pocket.

Michigan and TCU have no shot at the championship so let's see how this plays out. Good luck with whatever you decide. This will be my betting strategy for the playoff. Good luck.

National Championship bets prior to Semi-Finals

Georgia -135 ($675 - $500)
Ohio State +350 ($100 - $350)

If Georgia defeats Ohio a State I'm guaranteed a $400 profit. If Ohio State Defeats Georgia I'll lay the lumber on Ohio State money line vs Michigan. If TCU defeats Michigan I'll need Georgia to defeat Ohio State.

Sounds confusing but it really isn't. Good luck to all.
