Sharp betting money squarely on Clemson for national title

Three days before Alabama-Clemson meet to determine this season's college football national champion, professional bettors have picked a clear side against the spread.

Alabama opened at -6.5 or -7 at most sportsbooks during the Orange Bowl, as it became apparent that Oklahoma had little shot of advancing after falling behind 28-0.

Despite immediate public money backing the Tide, the against the spread figure has sunk to a consensus of Alabama -5 as of Friday morning.

According to data provided by The Action Network, 56 percent of tickets wagered and 76 percent of the money backed Alabama as of early Sunday morning.
