national championship opening line ohio state vs notre dame 2025

The Ohio State Buckeyes punched their ticket last night to  meet up with Notre Dame in the college football championship game. The game will be played on January 20th, 2025 at 7:30pm EST. The game will be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

The opening line was published with Ohio State being 9.5 favorites. The total is 45.5 points. The moneyline has Ohio State -390 and Notre Dame +300. You can bookmark and check our free live odds page here to see how the line moves between now and the 20th.

This will be the 9nth meeting between these two programs. Ohio State leads the series 8 games to 2, with the most recent game being played last season. In that game Ohio State edged out Notre Dame 17-14.

Ohio State last appeared in the title game in 2021 where they lost to Alabama in a 52-24 beat down. They last won the title back in 2015.

Notre Dame’s drought has been a bit more significant. Although they played in the national championship game in 2013, where they too got smashed by Alabama, they haven’t won the title since way back in 1988.
