We are down to the final two teams and the last game of the 2015-16 Football Season. Alabama shut out Michigan State 38-0 while Clemson beat Oklahoma outright by a comfortable 20 points margin to set up a #1 vs #2 matchup in the National Championship Game on Monday, January 11th from Glendale, Arizona.
Clemson was a four-point underdog against the Sooners, and despite having the #1 overall ranking and an unbeaten record, the Tigers are once again an underdog against the Crimson Tide.
This sportsbook pay per head lists Alabama as a big 7-point favorite – up quite a bit from the opening number. The Over/Under has dropped a few points and currently sits at 50.5 points.

There are only two matchups this weekend featuring two teams ranked in the Top 25 – one in the Big Ten and the other out West in the Pac 12. Last weekend saw a number of key big upsets with four Top Ten teams all losing outright. Those results have shook up the rankings, as well as the public perception of many high profile teams.
The first such matchup by the online sportsbook has unbeaten Northwestern taking on 4-1 Michigan at the Big House. The Wildcats have climbed to #13 in the rankings, and Big Ten powers Ohio State and Michigan State not on their schedule this year, this sets up as one of the biggest games of the season for Northwestern.
Wildcats crushed Minnesota 27-0 last week as a small 3-point home favorite. Most preferred sportsbooks still don’t give NW credit, however, as Michigan is a huge 8-point home favorite. That line would suggest Michigan would be favored even if this game took place at Northwestern. The Wolverines also had a great game last week, beating Maryland 28-0 for their second straight shutout.
