There has been an even split between blowouts and close games in the six years of the College Football Playoff National Championship.
The past two title games were won by the Clemson Tigers and LSU Tigers in dominant fashion. The last close final was three years ago, when the Alabama Crimson Tide rode Tua Tagovailoa to a come-from-behind win over the Georgia Bulldogs.
Even though the spread grew from 7.5 points to nine in the week preceding the game, Monday's clash between Alabama and the Ohio State Buckeyes is expected to be a tight affair. Ohio State is one of the few teams that can match Alabama's offensive production when it is at its best, and that is reflected in the over/under of 75 points.
