Under 47.5 points in Indiana vs. Miami (-109)

The Hoosiers and Hurricanes both fielded incredible defenses this season, with Indiana ranking second in scoring defense (11.1 ppg) and Miami ranking fifth (14.0 ppg). Even with both teams winning high-scoring games in the semifinals, Indiana played to under this total in three of its previous four games while Miami did the same in six of seven. SportsLine's model predicts that the Under hits in 51% of simulations. Bet on the Under at bet365, where new users can get $200 in bonus bets after placing a first wager of $5 or more.

Miami +8.5 vs. Indiana (-106)

The hook is of enormous value here with Miami playing in its home stadium. The Hurricanes lost twice this season, but both defeats were by six points or fewer and all three of their wins in the CFP have come in close, hard-fought games. Indiana, on the other hand, has blown out Alabama and Oregon, but the last time it faced a defense of this caliber, it had to grind out a 13-10 win over Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game. The model predicts that Miami covers 55% of the time. Bet on Miami at FanDuel Sportsbook, where new users can bet $5, get $300 in bonus bets if your bet wins. 

Responsible gaming

It's important for bettors to understand responsible gaming and not fall into dangerous habits such as chasing losses. Sportsbooks offer tools such as time and wager limits to help out their users in this regard. Bettors can also use national resources like The National Council on Problem Gaming, Gamblers Anonymous, and 1-800-GAMBLER.
