The betting line for the College Football Playoff championship moved toward the Miami Hurricanes over the weekend. Respected 'sharp money' came in on the underdog, dropping Indiana's spread from 8.5 to 7.5 points. The Hoosiers remain the public favorite, but professional bettors are showing confidence in Miami's chances.

This shift reflects Miami's strong season and home-field advantage at Hard Rock Stadium. The Hurricanes were 100-1 preseason long shots, while Indiana opened at 200-1. Books expect Indiana money to surge before kickoff, but a Miami win would create a historic payout for Florida's Hard Rock Bet sportsbook.

Both teams have defied massive odds to reach the title game. Indiana's blowout of Oregon justified its favoritism, but Miami's path has been equally improbable. The line movement suggests a tighter contest than the initial numbers indicated, setting up a dramatic championship showdown.
