00:00 [MUSIC]
00:05 So tell us who wins and covers tonight in the national title game.
00:09 It's gonna be the Michigan Wolverines for me.
00:11 I just like the overall MO with this football team and I don't want to hear
00:14 for even from their point of view.
00:15 We've been through a lot.
00:16 Now you yourself inflicted wounds.
00:17 You've been through a lot.
00:18 Your coach got suspended because he did things wrong.
00:21 So it wasn't adversity placed on you from outside institutions.
00:24 You did it yourself here, but still you're able to persevere through that
00:27 even with your head coach down on the sideline winning games convincingly on
00:30 the road and in big environments here, which included the Rose Bowl game
00:33 against Alabama who we all know they weren't all that enthused to see once
00:37 that popped up on their screen there the day that we decided the day that
00:40 the committee decided of the top four in the college football playoff, but
00:44 it's Michigan for me in this game.
00:45 I just think you're going to be able to control the ground game.
00:48 Washington does have a good defense, but gives up 4.5 yards per carry.
00:51 That's Michigan's bread and butter.
00:53 Blake Corham is going to have a very good game tonight on the ground.
00:55 JJ McCarthy is going to have chances to take shots deep down the field.
00:59 I just think Michigan is the better overall team.
01:01 And also it's coming from a guy once again, who I can't stand Michigan and
01:05 don't think I'm going to be like, Hey, I'm so great to see horrible.
01:08 Hold up the national championship.
01:09 Trophy.
01:10 I want to throw up in my mouth actually talking about it, but if it's going
01:12 to make me money and do a better team here, I'm taking Michigan.
01:15 You're going to win this football game tonight, Ben and by margin.
01:17 And Donnie, it will be interesting to discuss margin as well.
01:22 Four and a half point spread in favor of the maize and blue.
01:26 The last five national championship games have all been decided by at
01:29 least 15 points, excluding excluding last year's route by the Bulldogs
01:35 of Georgia over TCU, which was 65 to seven in the four previous years.
01:41 The average margin of victory was still 22 points per game.
01:45 So Donnie is right in the thought that the spread probably does not come
01:49 into play tonight.
01:51 If Michigan is going to win, they can cover as a four and a half point
01:55 favorite Michigan this year booked as a favorite in every single game.
01:58 All 14.
01:59 They have won all 14 and they are eight five and one against the number
02:03 under Kaitlin DeBoer in the last two seasons since he became the headman
02:07 in Seattle at the start of 2022.
02:09 Washington has been an underdog five times.
02:11 They have won outright all five times, including in the sugar bowl in
02:15 the second CFP semifinal over Texas.
02:18 Now as that game was playing out and we sat there on in-game live all
02:23 access or CFP semifinal special.
02:26 I looked at Washington at two to one and jumped in at that price on the
02:30 Huskies was not my best number.
02:32 By the way, there were times that Washington entered college football
02:35 playoff New Year's Day Monday as a plus 650 price, the longest number
02:40 to win the national championship when they were an underdog entering
02:44 the Pac-12 title game.
02:45 It was 25 to one.
02:47 I just wanted to grab some on Washington.
02:49 So take my own personal account into this.
02:52 I'm looking at Michigan winning with an winning margin of one to 13
02:57 points at plus 175.
02:59 I think Michigan is going to win this game out, right?
03:01 I do not expect it to be a route of 15 or more or 14 or more as it
03:07 pertains to this bet as we have seen in the last five national
03:10 championship games.
03:11 Just agree with Donnie.
03:12 I think Michigan has the edge tonight based on the mask up advantages
03:16 where they can take advantage over a Washington team limiting Michael
03:20 Pettis Jr.
03:21 Just barely and if they hold him to 300 passing yards, that would be
03:25 limiting Michael Pettis Jr.
03:27 But taking advantage on the ground on the other side and I do think
03:31 JJ McCarthy has a good night.
03:33 The number has been on the rise for his passing yards prompt Donnie
03:36 one ninety two and a half at open one ninety nine in a hook at this
03:40 moment, but Washington is a bottom 15 secondary in college football
03:44 allowing 263 yards per game.
03:47 (upbeat music)
03:50 (bells chiming)
