Michigan is heading to a major college playoff game, and the Wolverines are ready. Michigan will take on Georgia in the Orange Bowl on Friday (Dec. 31). I think it sounds like a fun way to ring in the New Year!
So, are they favored to win? According to Bleacher Report, Georgia is favored to win by 7.5 points.
“In the nightcap, Georgia is a considerable favorite over Michigan,” Bleacher Report says. “The underdogs, however, won’t be lacking confidence after destroying Iowa and cruising to a Big Ten championship.”
Their picks are made against the spread (ATS) and based on the latest odds from DraftKings.
