The Clemson Tigers are attracting a lot of interest from the gambling community.
According to data released by SportsBetting on Monday, the Tigers have received the largest number of bets to capture the 2020 CFP Championship.
SportsBetting provided data for the three teams with the largest amount of bets and largest amount of money wagered on their College Football Playoff odds.
Clemson is the only program to show up on both lists, but the Tigers haven’t received the most coin to take home the title next season.
Teams with most bets taken:
1. Clemson Tigers
2. Alabama Crimson Tide
3. Texas Longhorns
Teams with most money wagered:
1. Georgia Bulldogs
2. Oklahoma Sooners
3. Clemson Tigers
“It feels like parity has come to a halt in college football, and bettors are reacting to early odds with that notion in mind,” Robert Cooper, SportsBetting.ag’s head linesman, said. “We’ve incurred a ton of action on the usual suspects, Alabama and Clemson, to win the national title, to qualify for the CFP, to go over their win totals, etc. The betting public again sees this season as a two-horse race to the finish, and it’s hard to argue.
“LSU and Texas are the trendy, “underdog” picks. Some of that action is from sharp value players, but those teams always have a lot of backing from their loyal fan bases.”
Oddsmakers from SportsBetting said they anticipate both Clemson and Alabama to be at minimum 10-point favorites in every game they play this year. They also recently moved Clemson’s regular season victory total from 11 to 11.5 due to betting action.
