EZ Live Betting and Prop Building for Players Allows Agents to Earn Extra Money

by WagerHome Blog on August 16, 2021

The reason we all got into sports betting in the first place is because it’s fun. We love sports, and watching sports when there is a little extra on the line adds to the excitement, especially in live betting. And likewise, the reason you became an independent bookmaker is because it’s fun to make money. You get all the fun of sports betting, with the added bonus of money in your pocket.

But finding extra sources of revenue can be challenging. And keeping up with the trends of the day as your own bookmaker can feel like a chore. That’s where a pay per head software provider like WagerHome.com comes in.

More Ways to Profit

You by yourself can take point spread and moneyline bets. But live betting is impossible for you to manage on your own. And allowing your clients to create their own parlays and have those parlays pay out competitive and realistic odds is a huge challenge.

If you are partnered with WagerHome.com, you get automatic access to their EZ Live betting. With automatically updated odds, just like with any large mainstream online bookmaker, your clients can place wagers on sports all around the world. And more action and enjoyment for them means more money in your pocket.

Not only is there more money being wagered live, but the more you can offer to your clients, the greater their incentive to continue doing business with you. If they have to go elsewhere to place parlays, they will. But if they can build their own parlays with you and through your website that is powered by WagerHome, they have no reason to bet with anyone else.

Giving them the personal touch of knowing their bookmaker, but also the full array of betting options that the big bookmakers offer, puts you in a prime position to make more money.

Mobile Sports Betting – How Big Is It Going To Grow

We love sports, and watching sports when there is a little extra on the line adds to the excitement, especially in live betting.

Less Work for You

If you were to try and build your own website that allowed your clients to place live wagers, imagine the time and cost. Paying into big and fast servers that allow those kinds of real-time updates and for the wagers to match would quickly put you into debt.

But with WagerHome.com, you get your own website that uses their technology. All you have to do is add your personal touch to the website, and they handle the rest. From updated odds to tech support, to keep all transactions safe and secure, WagerHome handles the nuts and bolts of your business while you can focus on the clients.

How Pay Per Head Software Works

As the name suggests, you just pay a small fee for each of your clients. The premium partnership is just $12 per person per month and gives your clients 24/7 access to the sportsbook, racebook, and online casino. They also can place live in-game bets on thousands of events from across the world.

There’s No Time Like NFL Time to Switch to Better Software and Service

by WagerHome Blog on August 3, 2021

Not only is the best time for sports right around the corner, where football season meets baseball season meets the beginning of basketball and hockey seasons. It’s also the very best time to be an independent bookmaker that takes a steady diet of NFL bets.

More than $100 billion was wagered last year on NFL games, and that is expected to rise even further in 2021. Independent bookmakers are still getting their cut of that, but as almost all sports gambling heads online, traditional bookies are losing their clients.

The easiest and most effective way to tackle those losses is by becoming partners with a top pay per head software provider like WagerHome.com.

What is Pay Per Head?

Pay per head software is essentially a way for you to outsource the administrative side of your bookmaking business, so you can focus on the clients you have and the new clients you want.

The business remains yours. You are the boss. But with a PPH software provider handling the betting odds, the bookkeeping, and most time-consuming, the actual recording of wagers.

NFL doubles fees for TV rights; Amazon gets exclusive games - Los Angeles Times

Football season meets baseball season meets the beginning of basketball and hockey seasons is the very best time to be an independent bookmaker for NFL bets.

The Advantages to You

Almost all wagers in 2021 are done online, but maintaining your own website is both expensive and time-consuming. Without an expensive webmaster and hosting service, independent bookmaking is nearly impossible to do.

WagerHome.com gives you your very own sports betting website that is completely customizable. And unlike some other PPH sites, WagerHome.com gives you the site. It’s not loaned out to you, with WagerHome owning the rights. It’s yours, and yours alone. And at no additional cost to the small per-head fee, you’re already paying.

To build a website that can handle live NFL betting, changing point spreads, and constant action on an NFL Sunday afternoon, the cost is simply too much for one person to handle. But with WagerHome.com, it’s all taken care of.

Customer support, covered. Technical support, covered. Handling the money that comes in and goes out, covered.

The Advantages to Your Clients

The same main advantages to you – ease of access, 24-hour customer support, safe and secure transactions, encryption software to protect personal information – are also why your clients will love the upgrade to pay per head.

The NFL lines provided by WagerHome are dynamic and always reflect the latest changes in odds across the board. Plus, beyond NFL betting, WagerHome.com offers a huge menu of sports and betting options, including EZ live betting for NFL games and a host of other sports.

No matter the time of day, if it’s Australian Rules Football, cricket in India, or Formula 1 in Europe, your clients can access their accounts and place secure bets with the most up-to-date odds in the world.

There are a wide variety of banking options, and all of them are secure. And everything happens with the same speed and reliability as the top online sportsbooks, but with your personal touch.

Comprehensive 2021 NBA Finals Betting Preview and Prediction

by WagerHome Blog on July 4, 2021

On Saturday night, and missing their former MVP, the Bucks won Game 6 over the Hawks and advanced to their first NBA Finals since 1974 and the days of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson.

2021 NBA Finals promise a great show for everyone involved and millions of fans across the globe, so let’s take a closer look and see which of these two teams will clinch te big W!

2021 NBA Finals Betting Preview

The Suns punched their ticket to the Finals with a win over the Clippers three days earlier, and it’s the first time they will be a series away from winning the NBA title since 1993 when they were led by Charles Barkley, Kevin Johnson, and Dan Majerle.

Without the injury concerns of Milwaukee, it is the Suns who have opened as pre-Finals favorites to win their first-ever NBA championship.

Milwaukee Bucks: +160

The absence of two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo looms large for the Bucks. However, let’s not forget that they just won Game 5 and Game 6 against the Hawks without Giannis in the lineup. It wasn’t easy, and it won’t be easy against the Suns, but it is doable.

Khris Middleton stepped up when needed, scoring 23 of his 32 points in an incredible third quarter on Saturday. He also scored 26 points in Game 5 and went off for 38 in Game 3. He’s not a total fill-in for Giannis, but he’s playing at a high level and this team will stay competitive.

And Giannis hasn’t been ruled out for the series just yet. The official word is that he is “day-to-day.” There had been some reports that he would be ready to play in a Game 7 against Atlanta if necessary. If those reports are true, then a Tuesday return for Game 1 of the NBA Finals, while not likely, is a possibility.

Phoenix Suns: -180

With the Bucks banged up the Phoenix Suns are the obvious favorite. And even if Giannis was healthy heading into the Finals, a strong case can be made that the Suns should be the favored team.

Chris Paul is a leader and just scored 41 to close out the Clippers. Devin Booker is a true scorer, and it’s easy to forget he is still just 24 years old. He’s averaging 27 points a game this, his first-ever trip to the playoffs. And this is the team that knocked off LeBron and the Lakers, this year’s MVP Nikola Jokic, and put together a nine-game playoff winning streak. They also played the Bucks twice this season and won each game by a point.

Prediction: Phoenix Suns

The Suns don’t beat themselves. They’ve been playing good and steady basketball all season long and have really turned it up in the playoffs. Each game might be close, but overall the series won’t be. Phoenix in five games. Six games if Giannis can play at 80-90%.

At WagerHome.com you get your own customizable website, access to their huge menu of sports and betting options, plus EZ live betting.

Early Betting Odds for the 2021 Open Championship

by WagerHome Blog on June 23, 2021

With the early betting odds for the 2021 Open Championship out, the golf world is still marveling at the two amazing putts that Jon Rahm dropped on the final two holes to win a thrilling US Open, the first major championship of his career. But even as the dust on Torrey Pines still settles, it’s never too early to look ahead to The Open Championship, slated to take place in England next month.

The Open was the one major that didn’t take place last year, which makes 2019 Open winner Shane Lowry the defending champion. But not surprisingly, it’s Rahm on top of the odds board three weeks before the tournament tees off.

Favorites to Win The Open

Jon Rahm (+900)
Rory McIlroy (+1100)
Dustin Johnson (+1200)
Brooks Koepka (+1400)
Bryson DeChambeau (+1600)
Jordan Spieth (+1800)
Justin Thomas (+2000)
Xander Schauffele (+2000)
Tommy Fleetwood (+2800)
Louis Oosthuizen (+2800)
Tyrrell Hatton (+2800)

It’s hard to find a reason to pick against Rahm. He’s the new US Open champion and was the favorite heading into last weekend’s third major of the season. Why can’t he do it again as the pre-tournament favorite at Royal St. George’s? The only possible negative is that Rahm’s best ever Open finish is 11th place in 2019. He was in eighth place after three rounds but dropped out of the top-10 in the final round.

The 149th Open at Royal St George's | The Open

With the early betting odds for the 2021 Open Championship out, it’s never too early to look ahead to The Open Championship, taking place in England next month.

Still, this is a guy playing the best golf in the world, and it feels like a foregone conclusion that he will be in the mix on the final back-nine of the tournament.

Rory McIlroy was a winner in 2014 at the Royal Liverpool, and he was the last golfer to go wire-to-wire to win The Open. McIlroy was also a runner-up in 2018 at Carnoustie. But his last time out in The Open, he was playing in his home country at Royal Portrush, and he failed to make the cut.

The last of the top three favorites is Dustin Johnson, who is always in the mix. He faded at the end at Torrey Pines, and his 2021 season hasn’t quite been up to his standards. But when The Open was last at Royal St. George’s in 2011, Johnson was the runner-up. That was his best-ever finish at The Open, and it was 10 years ago. He does have two other top-10 finishes at The Open, but in 2019 he was tied for 51st.

Paying +2800 is Louis Oosthuizen, a good value play. He won The Open in 2010 and has finished as the runner-up in six other major championships, including last weekend at Torrey Pines and last year at the PGA Championship. He’s first in strokes gained this year, first in total putting, and he should be one of the first golfer’s you think about in three weeks.

Save Mart 350 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on June 2, 2021

After missing out on its annual trip to wine country and Sonoma County last year because of COVID, the NASCAR Cup Series is back with the Save Mart 350. It’s largely considered to be the most technically demanding of the road courses in which NASCAR races, and it always makes for one of the best events of the season.

Odds to Win Save Mart 350

Chase Elliott (+150)
Martin Truex, Jr. (+300)
Kyle Busch (+750)
Kyle Larson (+800)
Denny Hamlin (+1000)
William Byron (+1200)
Joey Logano (+1600)
Ryan Blaney (+1800)
Kevin Harvick (+2200)
Alex Bowman (+2500)

The road course master, Chase Elliott, is a huge favorite to win this race. A payday of +150 may not feel worth the risk until you realize that his win two weeks ago at the Texas Grand Prix was his ninth career road course win.

Elliott has yet to win at Sonoma in four career races here, but he did finish fourth in 2018. In the last Sonoma race in 2019, he had engine trouble.

Martin Truex, Jr. is another obvious favorite. He is the two-time defending champion of this race and is looking to join Jeff Gordon as the only drivers to win here three races in a row. Truex also won this race in 2013 and finished in fifth place in 2016. In other words, he really likes this course.

The two Kyles, Busch, and Larson are the other two drivers paying less than +1000 for a win this weekend. Busch is a two-time winner at Sonoma (2008 and 2015), and in the four races here since his last win, he has finished 7th, 5th, 5th, and 2nd. Larson doesn’t have the same history at Sonoma, but along with Truex, he is the only multiple winner in 2021, including last week’s Coca-Cola 600.

NASCAR Notes: Odds to win 2017 Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma

After missing out on its annual trip to wine country and Sonoma County last year because of COVID, the NASCAR Cup Series is back with the Save Mart 350.

Other Drivers to Watch

Tyler Reddick was a rookie last year, and thus he’s making his first-ever start at Sonoma. He’s a local from just up the 5 Freeway in Corning, about 150 miles north. He finished ninth at the Texas Grand Prix and is paying +6000.

Kurt Busch, at +5000, is also worth a long look. He’s having a bad 2021 season, but he always runs well at Sonoma. He has seven career top 5 finishes here, was the winner in 2011, and hasn’t finished outside of the top 15 in nine straight races.

If that’s a little too risky, think about Kevin Harvick at +2200. He’s also from the area, having grown up in Bakersfield. He won in Sonoma in 2017, has five other top 5 finishes here (2nd place in 2018), and has another career road course win coming at Watkins Glen.

Pay Per Head Software

NASCAR is at Sonoma, golf is at the Memorial this weekend, and the NBA and NHL Playoffs are going full bore. Now is the perfect time to join forces with a pay per head software provider and maximize your bookmaking profits.

At WagerHome.com, you get a fully customizable website, access to its huge menu of sports and betting options, EZ live betting, and your first four weeks are free.

Updated Betting Favorites, Darkhorses, and Underdogs in the NHL Playoffs

by WagerHome Blog on May 26, 2021

The first round of the NHL Playoffs is winding down, and as we head into Wednesday’s action, three teams have already moved on to the next round, and three teams have seen their postseasons end.

No matter how far we get into the playoffs, a Stanley Cup winning bet can always be placed. And if you’re looking to make such a wager today, here is where the 13 remaining teams sit.

Here are the updated betting favorites, dark horses, and ynderdogs in the NHL Playoffs

Odds to Win the Stanley Cup

Colorado Avalanche (+260)
Boston Bruins (+500)
Toronto Maple Leafs (+525)
Vegas Golden Knights (+600)
Tampa Bay Lightning (+750)
Carolina Hurricanes (+850)
New York Islanders (+1500)
Winnipeg Jets (+1600)
Pittsburgh Penguins (+3000)
Florida Panthers (+4000)
Minnesota Wild (+6000)
Nashville Predators (+7500)
Montreal Canadiens (+12500)

Before the playoffs began, the Colorado Avalanche were paying +400. Following their sweep of the St. Louis Blues, the favorites to win the Stanley Cup have dropped to +260. With so many teams left, and so many possibilities, it’s unusual to see such a heavy favorite. But that is a reflection of just how good the Avs have looked all season long.

The Boston Bruins have also already won their first-round series, 4-1 over the Washington Capitals. On May 15th, a bet on Boston to win the Cup was paying +1150. But thanks to four straight wins to close out the Caps, the Bruins are now seen as the second betting favorite at +500. Awaiting Boston is either the New York Islanders or the Pittsburgh Penguins, and New York could clinch it on Wednesday.

In the North Division, aka the Canadian division of the playoffs, the Toronto Maple Leafs are the betting favorite. They were paying +700 before the playoffs started, and now that they’re up 3-1 on the Montreal Canadiens, a bet on the Leafs pays +525. Game 5 is Thursday night in Toronto.

Underdogs on the Move

Of the teams considered to be a longshot to win the Stanley Cup, the biggest mover up the board are the Winnipeg Jets. They began the playoffs at +3500 and were supposed to lose to the Oilers in the first round. Instead, the Jets swept the Edmonton Oilers, 4-0, and are now paying +1600 to win the whole thing. They will play the winner of Toronto and Montreal in the second round.

The biggest drop down the board is the Minnesota Wild. The Wild got a win in Game 5 to stay alive in their first-round series with the Vegas Golden Knights, with Game 6 coming Wednesday night and Vegas leading 3-2. The Wild opened the playoffs at +1800 to win the Stanley Cup but are now paying +6000. Even if they do manage to win the next two and advance to the second round, Colorado awaits.

Pay Per Head Software

Independent bookmakers taking NHL Playoffs bets should be partnered with a pay per head software provider like WagerHome.com. Get a fully customizable website, automated odds, access to WagerHome.com’s huge menu of sports and betting options, plus EZ live betting.

Kentucky Derby 2021: Favorites, Darkhorses, and Underdogs

by WagerHome Blog on April 29, 2021

Nothing signals that summer is right around the corner like the May tradition of the Kentucky Derby. So get your mint juleps made, put on your fancy hat, and get ready for the best horse race of the year.

Kentucky Derby Positions and Odds

Known Agenda (6-1)
Like the King (50-1)
Brooklyn Strong (50-1)
Keepmeinmind (50-1)
Sainthood (50-1)
O Besos (20-1)
Mandaloun (15-1)
Medina Spirit (15-1)
Hot Rod Charlie (8-1)
Midnight Bourbon (20-1)
Dynamic One (20-1)
Helium (50-1)
Hidden Stash (50-1)
Essential Quality (2-1)
Rock Your World (5-1)
King Fury (20-1)
Highly Motivated (10-1)
Super Stock (30-1)
Soup and Sandwich (30-1)
Bourbonic (30-1)

Running in the middle from the 14th position is the odds on favorite, Essential Quality. According to the oddsmakers, this is his race to lose. He’s had success at Churchill Downs, with a win at the Blue Grass Stakes and Breeders’ Futurity, and it’s worth noting that the betting favorite has finished either first or second in eight of the last ten Triple Crown races.

Running next to Essential Quality is a turf horse turned dirt, Rock Your World. Suppose you are looking for a favorite that isn’t THE favorite, then you can’t do much better. He ran at the Santa Anita Derby on April 3 and absolutely dominated the field, running from the front the majority of the race and cruising to a pull-away win.

Darkhorse Candidates

It is Kentucky, and the mint julep is made with bourbon, so keep an eye on Midnight Bourbon, running at 20-1. He’s looked great in workouts and is being ridden by Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith.

Another of the Kentucky whiskey-named horses is Bourbonic, running at 30-1. Posted on the outside, he will be free of traffic, and no doubt trainer Todd Pletcher, a two-time winner at the Derby, will have him ready to run. He also just won the Wood Memorial to begin the month of April at 72-1, so don’t expect Saturday’s odds to bother jockey Kendrick Carmouche.

Underdogs

You never go in expecting a win from the longest of shots, but there are a few that could sneak onto the board.

Paying 50-1, Helium was a victor at the Grade 2 Tampa Bay Derby back in March. He hasn’t been tested much, but he’s trained by Mark Casse, who always has his horses properly conditioned.

Another Todd Pletcher trained horse is Sainthood, on the board at 50-1. In his most recent race, he finished in second place at the Grade 3 Jeff Ruby Steaks but was closing at the finish and showed real promise for the future.

Pay Per Head Software

It’s Kentucky Derby weekend! Plus, the NBA and NHL Playoffs are just around the corner. If you are an independent bookmaker, now is the time to join forces with a pay-per-head software provider like WagerHome.com.

Dixie Vodka 400 NASCAR Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on February 24, 2021

If you’ve been betting the favorites at the start of the 2021 NASCAR season, you haven’t done well. Michael McDowell, a +10000 longshot, drove to victory at Daytona and won his first race in 358 career Cup Series starts. A week later, on the road course at Daytona, it was Christopher Bell, at +6000, winning the O’Reilly Auto Parts 253 for his first-ever Cup Series win. These longshot winners have revealed an exciting trend that we hope continues at the Dixie Vodka 400 as we survey the field of contenders.

So when will things go to form? Is this the week the favorites actually complete the task?

Dixie Vodka 400 Favorites

Here are the top-10 favorites to win the Dixie Vodka 400 with odds to both win the race and finish top-3.

Denny Hamlin (+500/+140)
Chase Elliott (+600/+175)
Kevin Harvick (+600/+175)
Martin Truex, Jr. (+700/+200)
Kyle Larson (+800/+225)
Kyle Busch (+1000/+275)
Joey Logano (+1000/+275)
Brad Keselowski (+1300/+375)
Ryan Blaney (+1600+450)
Tyler Reddick (+2200/+550)

Denny Hamlin is the defending champion here at the Dixie Vodka 400, and he finished 5th at the 500 and 3rd on the road course. He is a solid favorite to win this race and the safest of all the bets.

Joey Logano was a winner at Homestead in 2018, and he’s finished at least 6th or higher in five of his last six starts here. He’s also been an eyelash away from victory in the first two races this season. Logano was leading with just two laps to go on the road course before he was passed by Bell. He was leading on the final lap at the 500 before he and Brad Keselowski collided, allowing McDowell to sneak in for the win.

Ryan Blaney has struggled to begin the season. He finished 30th at the 500 and 15th on the road course. His last time out at Homestead, however, he finished 3rd. And at +1600, he presents a really nice potential payday.

Others to Watch

Just outside the top-10 at 14th on the odds list is Austin Dillon, paying +2500 to win and +1000 to finish top-3. In his last two races at Homestead, he finished in 7th place and 8th place. He’s been running great this month, with a win at the Bluegreen Vacations Duel 2 and a 3rd place finish at the Daytona 500.

And what are the odds that Christopher Bell wins a second straight Cup Series race? As a winner, he is paying +2800 and +700 to finish top-3. Not only did he just win, but he was also good at Homestead in his one career start there. In 2020 he started the race in 36th but finished the race in 8th place.

Pay Per Head Software

Each and every NASCAR race comes with a whole host of betting options, and if you partner with a top pay-per-head software provider, like WagerHome.com, you get access to their huge menu of sports and wager types.

Farmers Insurance Open: Betting Favorites at Torrey Pines

by WagerHome Blog on January 27, 2021

Not all of the sports news and betting focus is on the Super Bowl these next two weeks. The PGA Tour tees it up at Torrey Pines for one of the more important January tournaments in quite some time, the Farmers Insurance Open.

What makes this year’s Farmers Insurance Open so important is that the picturesque San Diego golf course is also the site of the U.S. Open in June. So if players are looking for a pre-Open trial run, and if sports bettors are looking to spot the early Open favorites, this is the tournament to watch. The event tees off on January 28 and runs through January 31.

Farmers Insurance Open: Current Odds to Win

Jon Rahm (+650)
Rory McIlroy (+800)
Xander Schauffele (+1200)
Tony Finau (+2000)
Harris English (+2200)
Patrick Reed (+2500)
Hideki Matsuyama (+2500)
Viktor Hovland (+3000)
Matthew Wolff (+3300)
Scottie Scheffler (+3300)
Marc Leishman (+3300)
Sungjae Im (+3300)

Because of the location, this weekend’s field has 10 of the top 20 in the World Golf Rankings. Everyone wants to take a crack at Torrey Pines, which will have both the North Course and South Course in play this weekend. When the U.S. Open is here in June, it will only be played on the 7,700-yard South Course.

Jon Rahm is the natural favorite with three Top 5 finishes at the Farmers. He finished tied for seventh at the Sentry Tournament of Champions three weeks ago.

Rory McIlroy is back in the States for the first time since the Masters in November, and he’s near the top of the favorites board. He just finished third at the HSBC Golf Championship in Abu Dhabi. Last year at the Farmers, he finished tied for third, following up a fifth-place finish in 2019.

Xander Schauffele is a California native, but he’s missed the cut in four of the five Farmers Insurance Opens he’s played.

Farmers Insurance Open: Others to Watch

Brooks Koepka is just outside of the top group of favorites, paying +3500 at the Farmers this weekend. It’s not a tournament he has played often, with a missed cut in 2017 and 41st place finish in 2015.

Keep an eye on John Huh. He hasn’t won on the PGA Tour since 2012, but he does have a pair of top 25 finishes at the Farmers. He’s a long shot at +12500, but he has proven that he can handle the course at Torrey Pines.

All four current reigning major championship holders – Bryson DeChambeau (U.S. Open), Collin Morikawa (PGA), Shane Lowry (2019 Open Championship), and Dustin Johnson (Masters) – are sitting out this tournament.

Betting College Football Playoff with Pay Per Head Bookies

by WagerHome Blog on December 29, 2020

There is so much sports on the calendar this week that it’s almost easy to forget that the three biggest games of the college football season are yet to be played. That changes on New Year’s Day when the semifinals of the College Football Playoff kick off, and the eventual national champion takes one step closer to the title.

It also leads us right into the final week of the NFL regular season and the sports betting bonanza that is the month of January.

Rose Bowl – Notre Dame vs. Alabama (-19.5)

Only the year 2020 could give us a Rose Bowl game played in Arlington, Texas, and Notre Dame making the game as a representative from the ACC. But since 2021 will be upon us by the time this game begins, let’s talk about the football.

Notre Dame is very good. The Fighting Irish beat Clemson earlier in the season, only to lose to the Tigers in the ACC Championship Game. That is the only blemish on an otherwise stellar record that comes from Notre Dame playing great defense and featuring an offensive line that is one of the best in the country.

That offensive line will be key because it absolutely has to keep the Notre Dame offense humming against Alabama. Even with a great Irish defense, we know Alabama is going to score.

Both quarterback Mac Jones and wide receiver DeVonta Smith are Heisman Trophy finalists, and running back Najee Harris just missed the cut as the fifth-highest vote-getter.

Can Notre Dame keep pace with Alabama? The bookmakers clearly don’t think so.

Sugar Bowl – Ohio State vs. Clemson (-7.5)

As soon as Clemson closed out its victory over Ohio State in the semifinals last year, this was the rematch we all hoped to see. It was a heavyweight fight between two teams with two great quarterbacks, who amazingly are even better this season.

This is Clemson’s sixth trip to the College Football Playoff semifinals, and it’s worth noting that the Tigers are 4-1 against the spread in the previous five. Ohio State finds itself in the unusual position of being the underdog in this one. Since 2012, the Buckeyes are 7-1 against the spread when playing as the underdog, with that lone loss coming to Clemson and Trevor Lawrence at the Fiesta Bowl a year ago.

Both teams are ready for a battle, and it’s hard to believe that Clemson will win this by more than a touchdown. The Tigers are more battle-tested than Ohio State, having played 11 games to OSU’s six, but that may also mean the Buckeyes are healthier.
