Rationale:
Michigan has been opened as the small favorite against Washington, indicating a slight edge in their favor. Historically, favorites have a mixed record in the championship game, but recently they have fared better.
Michigan boasts a strong record (14-0 SU and 8-5-1 ATS) and has demonstrated capability when favored by single digits, with a record of 3-0 SU and ATS in such scenarios.
Washington also holds an impressive 14-0 record and has shown resilience when positioned as the underdog, maintaining a 3-0 record in such games. Their potent offense, leading the nation in passing offense, could pose a significant challenge to Michigan's defense.
Michigan's defense is ranked number one in total defense and has been particularly effective against the pass, which is a crucial factor considering Washington's strong passing game.
However, Washington's defense has comparatively weaker statistics, especially in passing defense, which could be a decisive factor in Michigan's favor.
Confidence Assessment:
The prediction is given with high confidence due to the consistency of the analysis across various expert opinions and statistical data. Michigan's slight edge as the favorite, combined with their strong defensive record against Washington's top-ranked passing offense, presents a scenario where the outcome is a toss-up, but slightly leans towards Michigan. The high confidence is based on the robustness of the data and the clear, albeit narrow, advantages held by Michigan.
