National Championship 2022 betting splits
| Teams | Spread | % Handle | % Bets | Total Points | % Handle | % Bets | Moneyline | % Handle | % Bets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Teams | Spread | % Handle | % Bets | Total Points | % Handle | % Bets | Moneyline | % Handle | % Bets |
| Georgia | -2.5 | 33% | 31% | Over 52.0 | 74% | 70% | -140 | 18% | 27% |
| Alabama | +2.5 | 67% | 68% | Under 52.0 | 26% | 30% | +120 | 82% | 73% |
Point Spread
Georgia -2.5 -115: 33% of handle, 31% of bets
Is the public right?
History might be on the side of the Bulldogs here. In most regular season rematches where the national championship is involved, the team that lost earlier in the season tends to come out victorious. This line had moved up to -3, but has come back down to Georgia -2.5, which is interesting considering the amount of cash coming in on Bama.
Over/Under
52.5 points: 74% of handle, 70% of bets
Is the public right?
The score was 41-24 earlier this season, and defense tends to be less dominating in rematches. We’re honestly not sure why it’s this low. We’re with the cash and the public on this total going over.
Moneyline
Georgia -140 (18% of handle, 27% of bets), Alabama +120 (82% of handle, 73% of bets)
Is the public right?
History says probably not, but the game film from the matchup in the SEC Championship Game might indicate otherwise. If you think Kirby Smart and his coaching staff can make the needed corrections, it’s very possible the Dawgs can win this game. They’re actually a fraction ahead of Bama on recruiting talent.
But the Crimson Tide are playing in their sixth national championship in eight years. It’s tough to ignore that experience. We’re staying away from the moneyline here.
