Miami vs. Indiana betting splits via BetMGM as of Jan. 19. See the latest college football odds and our college football picks for the CFP National Championship.

Team Spread Moneyline O/U total
Indiana -7.5 (76% of bets) -300 (67% of bets) Over 46.5 (82% of bets)
Miami +7.5 (24% of bets) +240 (33% of bets) Under 46.5 (18% of bets)

As is to be expected with any championship matchup, the public is all over the betting favorite tonight to cover the spread while also taking a shot on the underdogs to win outright. But even that is too reductive to describe what we've seen so far with the Miami vs. Indiana odds movement ahead of the CFP National Championship.

It's been virtually all one-way action throughout the week in favor of the Hoosiers, who opened at -7.5 and briefly flirted with -9.5 at some shops before strong buyback on the Hurricanes over the weekend. Even so, 76% of spread tickets favor Indiana - and incredibly, a whopping 67% of moneyline bets also side with the Hoosiers even with such a bet featuring -300 odds with a bettor needing $30 to return a $10 profit.

That speaks to just how infatuated with Indiana that most bettors are ... and there's good reason for that. Our college football expert Rob Paul, who predicted Fernando Mendoza as the No. 1 pick back in April (when he wasn't even listed as a betting option to go first overall), is all over the Hoosiers in his Miami vs. Indiana prediction.
