Washington Huskies vs Michigan Wolverines
ATS Odds: Michigan -4.5
SU Odds: Michigan -200 / Washington +170
O/U Odds: 56.5

Big Ten Champion Michigan Wolverines

The Michigan Wolverines are 14-0 on the season after winning the Big Ten regular season, and then beating Iowa in the Big Ten title game. The Wolverines needed overtime, but they got the job done last week at the Rose Bowl against Alabama. The Wolverines are the best defensive team in all of College Football, as they are allowing just 9.5 points per game.

In fact, Michigan has played 14 games, and just six of those games they allowed double digit scoring. Michigan allowed 20+ points in just three of those games, and no team all season scored just more than 24 points in a game against the Michigan defense.

Offensively, Blake Corum is the go to guy. Along with quarterback J.J. McCarthy, Corum gets the ball early and often. The running back has carried it more than 230 times and has 1,111 yards and 25 touchdowns on the season. Roman Wilson is another guy with the ball often for Michigan. Wilson has 12 touchdowns on the season.

Pac-12 Champion Washington Huskies

For Washington, you will hear Michael Penix Jr early and often. The signal caller has been absolutely fantastic this season for the Huskies. In the win over Texas, Penix threw for more than 400 yards. He needs just 352 yards in this game to reach 5,000 on the season. Penix Jr has thrown 35 touchdowns as well.

Washington has won all 14 games this season, and 10 straight have by 10 points or less. The Huskies beat USC 52-42, which was the biggest blowout win since their 59-32 win over California at the beginning of October. Washington went through a stretch of wins, where they beat Oregon, USC, Utah and Oregon State, before another win over Oregon during that time.

National Championship Final Prediction | Huskies Top Wolverines

We expect this to be a really good College Football game. It is for the national title, so it would make sense. A season ago, when Georgia smoked TCU, it was not competitive. We expect this game to be competitive. When push comes to shove, we are still going to take Washington to cover the spread, and also win the game. 

We like the offensive attack of the Huskies over the defensive play of the Wolverines. Bet Washington +4.5 over Michigan. Also, the total for this game has moved a bit. While it started between 54 and 55, it is currently at 56.5. We like the UNDER, but barely with Washington winning the game 28-27 over Michigan.
