How to bet on the NCAAF Playoff National Championship

The College Football Playoff National Championship is the biggest game in the collegiate football season, and determines the NCAAF Division I champion for that year.

It started in its current form in 2014, having succeeded the BCS National Championship, which ran from 1999 to 2014.

The National Championship is contested between two finalists that emerge from the College Football Playoffs, with the game itself held on a predetermined neutral site. The winners are crowned national NCAAF Division I champions and receive the College Football Playoff National Championship Trophy.

The game and the championship itself is the biggest honor in collegiate football, and is often watched by millions across Canada, the US, and beyond.

The Georgia Bulldogs won the 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship, pulling off an upset by defeating No. 1 seed the Alabama Crimson Tide by 33 points to 18.

Betting on the College Football Playoff National Championship is no different to betting on regular season NCAAF action. Futures bets on the overall champion can be made throughout the campaign, while bets can also be made on props and correct matchup predictions.

The best value for futures betting is generally early in the NCAAF season, even before a game has been played, though fluctuations throughout the campaign can see futures odds change as the year progresses, depending on the performance of certain teams.

For instance, if your pick for the College Football Playoff National Championship is a notoriously slow starter, it may be prudent to wait until a couple of games into the season, after their odds may have lengthened. On the flip side, if you are expecting your team to run the table and go undefeated, it’s probably best to lock in your odds as early as possible before they plummet.

As for the game itself, all the usual football betting markets will be available. Moneyline markets offer the easiest way to bet on the final, while the point spread will level the playing field between the two teams involved. A host of props will also likely be available to give you the opportunity to bet on aspects of the game that are not directly related to the final result.
