According to the odds checker website, the Buckeyes are “a runaway favorite on the betting market,” and “have seen 66.7 percent of the bets” to join 2017 Alabama and 2015 Ohio State as national champs.

Makes me wonder just how many are betting for Ohio State just because of their greater historical relevance compared to Georgia. Those who just casually follow football may be swayed by the Ohio State "brand".
I'm not betting THE beats the Dawgs straight up. Is anybody?
In spite of the headline THE fans are just taking the points. Isn't that correct? If so, why not explicitly say so? It's a confusing article.
I think taking the points is foolish, too, but, hey, it's their money to lose.
Bless their hearts!
A fool and his money soon goes separate ways.
Pack the Benz and be obnoxiously loud for our Dawg warriors, Dawg fans! You can make a difference! Do your part! Let’s go!
Heavy betting on OSU??? Hmmm....watch for the refs, both, on the field and in the booth, to try to cheat UGA out of that game. Or, at the very least, try to shave points, by controlling the flow of the game with "phantom penalties", "no-call penalties", bad spots, etc..
I've suspected for decades, that Bookies in Chicago and NJ are putting their fingers on the scale of select games, such as UGA vs BAMA (2012, 2017, 2018). That's just UGA.
There was Tennessee's Bowl game, last year...when UT scored a TD at the end of the game. It was a clear and obvious TD, that would have won the game; however, the refs on the field...and the replay review...blew the call and EVERYBODY knew it. There are some that still count that as a Tennessee win.
Somebody's cheating. Not "every game", or even "every week". Depends on which games, the crooked refs (there's only a few) are calling.. Will they try to cheat UGA out of a second Natty? I don't know...but, somebody in authority needs to be paying close attention.
Lol...when it comes to a game that generates billions of dollars in revenue, why wouldn't a bookie try to occasionally buy a win and make a mint? They been doing it since the 1919 World Series...at a minimum.
UGA Football will become first back to back National Champions in the Playoff Era!
