5 CFP National Championship prop bets to consider

No. 1 Alabama is listed as a seven-point favorite in the rematch versus No. 2 Clemson, but that's not the only bet you should consider sprinkling some dough on as the College Football Playoff National Championship approaches.

Here are a handful of prop bets worth considering if you're a betting person:

Longest completion - Jalen Hurts

Hurts has a completion of 43 yards or more in five of his last seven contests, and at no point this season has he hesitated to air the ball out. If there's a weakness in the Clemson defense, it's the secondary, so Hurts and his electrifying receivers promise to take shots downfield throughout the night.

Over 42.5 (-110)
Under 42.5 (-110)

Total Rushing Yards - Wayne Gallman

Alabama owns the top rushing defense in the nation, and last year held Gallman to 45 yards in a game where the Tigers scored a whopping 40 points. The Tide always focus on stopping the run first and foremost, and if they get an early lead, it could force Clemson to abandon the running game altogether.

Over 57.5 (-110)
Under 57.5 (-110)

First score of the game will be ...

The fact is there are more ways to score points without a touchdown than there are with a touchdown. Stout defense from both squads means someone probably settles for an early field goal, or gets stuffed in the wrong end zone for a safety.

Touchdown (-220)
Any other score (+190)

Total rushing yards - Bo Scarbrough

Scarbrough has eclipsed 80 yards in each of his last three games, while his lack of usage early in the season means his legs should be relatively fresh versus the Tigers. Even if he's contained early, Steve Sarkisian will call the sophomore's number enough times for Scarbrough to surpass the 80-yard mark.

Over 80.5 (-110)
Under 80.5 (-110)

Will there be a defensive or special-teams TD?

Alabama's defense scores more touchdowns than some FBS offenses, while Deshaun Watson has a habit of throwing the ball to the wrong team ... you can connect the dots. Now take into account the possibility of a Clemson defensive touchdown or a special-teams touchdown from either side and one of these is likely to come to fruition. Last year's game featured only one turnover, but still saw a touchdown scored on special teams.

Yes (+130)
No (-150)
