Calling all sports enthusiasts and betting connoisseurs! Get ready for a thrilling start to the new year as the College Football Playoff semifinals take center stage. This year, the games have shifted from New Year's Eve to New Year's Day, and it's causing quite the buzz. Brace yourself for massive crowds, electrifying energy, and record-breaking betting volumes at Westgate's Las Vegas location and beyond.
Why the sudden surge in anticipation, you ask? Well, let's take a quick peek at the matchups. In the Rose Bowl, we have a clash of the titans as Michigan, the top-ranked team by the CFP committee, goes head-to-head with the formidable Alabama, who snagged the number four spot. Meanwhile, in the Sugar Bowl, the second-ranked Washington faces off against the fiery third-ranked Texas. With teams of this caliber and massive fan bases backing them, it's no wonder we're expecting the handle (aka the total amount wagered) to potentially double or even triple last year's numbers.
