Watch Ric Flair give his prediction on CFP national championship: ‘I can’t stand Ohio State’

Ric Flair has, well, a flair for the dramatic.

During Monday night’s pregame show ahead of No. 1 Alabama-No. 3 Ohio State for the CFP national championship, the wrestling icon gave his prediction during the ESPN broadcast.

“I can’t stand Ohio State,” he said. ” A lot of love for Justin Fields, but tonight, we roll, Tide.”

The Nature Boy predicts the Tide in a 35-27 win over the Buckeyes.

Flair is no stranger to calling shots.

With stepchildren at Georgia, Auburn and Florida, Flair has had his fill of SEC football as of late. He even used a social media poll in March to determine which of the three teams he would root for.

In December of 2019, the Nature Boy took a shot at Alabama, too. He has found his niche in college football. Back in 2016, he parlayed that into a guest picker roll on ESPN’s “GameDay.”

As of the time of this posting, Las Vegas Insider’s consensus line is Alabama -8.5, which means – according to Flair – the Tide won’t cover.
