The Cotton Bowl wasn't even over when a Vegas sports book decided to set a line on the College Football Playoff title game, which will feature Alabama and Clemson.
The @LVSuperBook opens Alabama as a 7-point favorite over Clemson. Over/Under opens at 53.5.

After the Crimson Tide demolished Michigan State in a 38-0 blowout, it is hard to bet against them at this point. However, Clemson also took care of business against Oklahoma, and putting the No. 1 team as a 7-point underdog does seem a little silly right now.
I'm sure Dabo Swinney will again enjoy being in the underdog spot, while I'm also sure that Nick Saban doesn't care. Game will take place in Glendale, Az. on January 11.
