After a long and grueling season, the College Football National Championship is finally here. I’ve gone 9-1 in these bowl season columns so far — bringing me to 35-20 (about 64%) since Week 2. I’ve said all season that some regression was to be expected after we cashed at a red-hot 63% rate a year ago, but we’ve been absolutely rolling in bowl season, so let’s keep that momentum going!
With bowl season behind us, the final days of the college football season are here and we’ve got a great matchup in store. With Monday’s game rapidly approaching, it’s time to get into my best bet for the action. And remember, you can check out all of our NCAAF predictions for picks and analysis on the game from multiple angles.
Washington Huskies +4.5 vs Michigan Wolverines (-110)
It certainly feels like most of the data and talking points surrounding this game are dismissive of Washington's relative chances to pull the upset. And while that's completely understandable – Michigan's offensive line, ground game and defense have been dominant after all – I do think the potential path to victory for the Huskies is easier to visualize than most people think.
