The 2018 College Football Playoff semifinals are finally here, and with it one of the most interesting matchups in the tournament's five-year history.
Oklahoma brings a historically good offense to Miami, but so does Alabama. The biggest mismatch comes on defense, where the Sooners have been routinely torched.
There hasn't been much movement on this betting line leading up to the game, as the odds have floated around Alabama -14 since opening there in early December.
Using our betting data at Sports Insights, we'll be tracking the line moves all day and relying on Pinnacle as our main source.
