"It's the College Football Playoff so we're seeing a lot action, but two hefty underdogs is certainly not an ideal scenario for the books," BetDSI oddsmaker Brent Corobotuic said. "The general public usually shies away from big spreads so we're seeing a lot of teasers and parlays opposed to straight bets for Saturday's semis."
