Defensively, Washington is 50th, allowing 24.1 points per game.

The Wolverines are coming off a 27-20 overtime win over Alabama in the semifinals. JJ McCarthy had 221 yards and three TDs in the game and connected on 63% of passing attempts. Michigan has the best defense in the nation, allowing only 10.2 points per game. They are ranked second, allowing 244.5 yards per game. Offensively, the Wolverines are 14th with 36 points per game.

Betting Trends

Washington is 7-6-1 ATS for the season. They are 3-0-0 ATS as underdogs and 2-0-0 ATS on neutral field.

Player to watch

Michael Penix Jr. is the star QB for Washington. He has thrown for 4,648 yards this season, with 35 TDs and an 85.7 QB rating. He was the runner-up in the Heisman Trophy voting. Penix Jr. is coming off an impressive 430-yard performance in the semifinal win over Texas. He spent the first four seasons at Indiana, where he managed to beat Michigan. Penix Jr. has had surgeries on both knees, and this was the season when he could finally play injury-free.

Injury Reports

OL Gaard Memmelaar and RB Cameron Davis are out for Washington while RB Sam Adams II is questionable. For Michigan, OL Zak Zinter, QB Davis Warren, WR Logan Forbes, RB CJ Stokes, and WR Karmello English are all out.

Prediction and Conclusion

The two undefeated and the two top-ranked schools in the country will collide in the national championship games. This is the third straight playoff for the Wolverines and the first time they have advanced to the final. The last time Michigan won it was in 1997, while the Huskies lifted the trophy for the last time in 1991. Michigan is a 5.5-point favorite in this game, and they covered that one in every single game this season. However, Washington is a tough team, with Michael Penix Jr. playing the last game of his college career. He has gone over 350 yards six times this season, and he will find a way to keep the Huskies close in this game, covering the spread.
