College Football Playoff 2024-25: Playoff Odds, Schedule and Bracket Predictions

The College Football Playoff kicks off on Friday night from Notre Dame Stadium.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will be the first team to host a playoff game as part of the new 12-team format.

Marcus Freeman's team is currently the smallest favorite on the first-round odds board at seven points.

The other point spreads vary between 7.5 and 12 points, a sign that home-field advantage could be a massive advantage in the first round.

The gap in quality of play could be stark across the weekend as well if the games go as the odds suggest.
