Well, here we are, the last game of the College football season, and its always kind of bittersweet. Doc’s leans and wagers went 27-14 ATS this Bowl Season. On New Years Day I was happy to go 4-0 ATS on wagers and 0-1 on Leans. So, wagering is now 14-4 ATS +10.2-units this post-season.

Doc Notes:
Doc Ratings: Washington 137.9 to Michigan’s 72.0, edge Wolverines
Doc's Favorite Subset: Yes, but EVERY TEAM except TCU last year has met these criteria for this playoff title game.
Doc's Nine-Point Index: Michigan 5-2-2 edge
Sharp Action: Has been on Michigan the whole way
Quick Read Synopsis: I expect Michigan will be able to run the ball efficiently, controlling, and limiting snaps to the special QB Michael Penix, and The Huskies offense. How effective will Johnson be for Washington at RB, because they’ll need to have a presence of a running attack. Coaching wise Kalen DeBoer knows how to win the big games and is a winning Head coach wherever he goes (104-11 overall), (17-2 in playoffs), 2-0 in Bowls, and now 1-0 in the D-1 playoffs. Look technically I believe Michigan is the right side with their defense and rushing attack. However, I believe Penix is DeShawn Watson of Clemson, Joe Borrow of LSU type of CFB talent, or throw in Cam Newton of Auburn type of attitude player, and guys like this just win. Washington is now 7-0 this year in one score games, and if their defense plays above their means this will be another close one IMO.
Bet: 1* Washington +5.5
