College Football Semifinals Bracket Odds 2024: Betting Tips for Orange, Cotton Bowls

The two College Football Playoff semifinals are expected to be two different types of games based on the odds set at DraftKings Sportsbook.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are a slight favorite in their Orange Bowl matchup with the Penn State Nittany Lions.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are a six-point favorite for the Cotton Bowl showdown with the Texas Longhorns.

Friday's clash between OSU and Texas is expected to be the higher-scoring matchup since the over/under is eight points higher than Thursday's Orange Bowl.

The odds makers are likely right given how all four teams have played so far in the postseason, and if that's the case, the offensive fireworks will once again come from a game involving the Buckeyes.
