The BCS National Championship game kicks off Monday night between the Auburn Tigers and the Oregon Ducks. The latest college football odds for this game as posted by skybook.ag has the Tigers listed as two point favorites with the total set at 74.
This game features two teams loaded with talent that have managed to remain undefeated in two elite football conferences.
The Auburn Tigers have quarterback Cam Newton who is the best player in college football and recently won the Heisman Trophy. Newton dodged the controversy and led his team to improbable come backs against some of the monster opponents in the SEC. The Tigers featured one of the fiercest rushing games in college football and improved on defense as the season progressed. The defense will get a true test against the Oregon Ducks who feature a wide open offense that ranked high in every category in football.
Heisman runner up LaMichael James is the featured running back in the spread attack and works well with quarterback Darron Thomas. The Ducks are No.1 in several offensive categories, but what may be more surprising is a defense that ranked 54th in the nation.
Both teams have had great seasons and the sports betting trends are positive for each team headed into the national championship game.
The Tigers are 7-1-1 against the spread (ATS) in their last nine games as a favorite of 0.5-3.0, 35-15-1 ATS in their last 51 games after accumulating more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game, and 6-1 ATS in the last seven games overall.
The Ducks are 5-1 ATS in their last six bowl games as an underdog, 28-11 ATS in their last 39 games after accumulating less than 170 yards passing in their previous game, and 14-5 ATS in their last 19 games as an underdog of 0.5-3.0.
This game sets up to be one of the most watched and most entertaining BCS Championship games ever to be played.
