CFB BOWL GAME OF THE YEAR (Pinnacle)

Handicapper:
Wayne Root
League: NCAAF
Competition: Alabama vs Michigan
Time: Monday, January 1, 05:00 pm ET
Bet Type: Point Spread
Pick: Michigan -2 (-110) (Consensus 3)
Rotation #: 280
Analysis:
Pinnacle on Michigan The drive to the CFP Finals begins with the Rose Bowl, where No. 4 Alabama faces No. 1 Michigan on Monday. The Crimson Tide (12-1 SU, 9-4 ATS) forced their way into this position with a heroic, 27-24, victory over No. 1 Georgia in the SEC Championship. The Wolverines (13-0 SU, 7-5-1 ATS) rolled to the Big Ten title by shutting out No. 16 Iowa, 26-0, in the championship game. This season, the Michigan Wolverines were 3-0 SU versus ranked opponents and Alabama was 4-1 SU. This will be the Tide’s second straight game against the top ranked team in the country. They managed 306 yards against Georgia’s defense, leaning on the rush more with 41 attempts, compared to 23 pass attempts. The Wolverines are holding teams to just 80.7 rushing yards per game and kept Iowa at just 35 rushing yards in the Big Ten title game. They know how to shut teams down and it is looking as if the bigger the moment gets, the more the Wolverines are up for it. Of course, we do know that one of these teams has a better handle on things when it comes to this time of year, but this time around will be different, at least for this one game. Michigan is 7-2 ATS over their last nine games. The coaching is also about as good as it gets at this level. So, which side wins out? In this situation, I think the offenses will be more than capable of doing enough to tilt another over. The Wolverines faced three of the top 5 defenses in the country and managed to average 26.7 points per game against them. They can and they will score. They’ve put up at least 30 points in 11 games this season.

Michigan -1.5 over Alabama
What’s interesting about both semi-final games is the betting public is wagering on both underdogs. When the public backs underdogs in big games, they statistically don’t do well. Michigan Head Coach Jim Harbaugh is known for having a bad record in bowl games, but this is his best team. The Wolverines have an outstanding offensive line, and their running game is elite. Michigan has terrific receivers and an experienced quarterback in JJ McCarthy. The Wolverines are the better offensive team. The Wolverines have one of the nation’s best front sevens on the defensive side that can stop the Alabama run and get after their quarterback. The Wolverines are better on both sides of the ball and should finally get the signature win they deserve. Take Michigan.

Rotation #281
Texas -3.5 over Washington
On paper, both teams match up about the same, but what’s alarming is Washington is the 80th-best team in the nation on third down defense, and Texas is ranked 2nd. The public money is 63% backing Washington. I can’t understand why they are getting that much love. The Longhorns play stricter competition in a superior conference. Texas QB Quinn Ewers has a solid offensive line in front of him that should give him time to find his receivers. The PAC 12 improved this season but was still overrated. Huskies QB Michael Penix is a great player that will find his receivers. Washington is ranked 90th in the nation on defense. That doesn’t win you championships. The Longhorns are well-balanced on both sides of the football and have a better coaching staff. Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian is used to this moment. The Longhorns will control the clock and advance to the College Football Championship Game. Take Texas.
