Sad to see the end of the college football season today. It has been a good and fun year. I hope I helped you cash some tickets this year and hope you built your bankroll.

The market has been a doubter all year on Washington. There has been some Michigan money show up today and overnight to move this line up to 5.5 at some shops. It is certainly slightly worrisome as a Washington backer, but I’ve seen this movie before when they played Oregon. The market has been wrong plenty this bowl season, so take it for what it’s worth. People have asked if Michigan has been battled tested this year. I can say for certain Washington is. Splits would say this is a pretty evenly bet game.
Washington’s RB Dillon Johnson is expected to play tonight. He was injured last week.
We have also seen this total uptick a bit since the opener. Michigan is 7-6-1 to the over and Washington is 7-7. I personally foresee a low 50s type of scoring in this one and would lean under. I don’t really get the love for the over here.
I like Washington plus the points and think they have the best chance to win the game. It would be all too fitting for the PAC-12 to have a champion in there final year of existence. This should be a good one. Best of luck on your bets and thank you for reading this season.
