Michigan projected to win national championship over Washington

The final game of the 2023-2024 college football season is here as #1 Michigan (14-0) faces off with #2 Washington (14-0) in the national championship game.

Savvygameline originally published a two-point projected victory for Michigan but that has been revised today (1/8/2024,  11:24 am) to 32-27.

Although Washington has defied the odds several times this season (Oregon, Oregon, Alabama), the Michigan Wolverines are stronger in team defense and performance metrics on Savvygameline than the Huskies.

The Savvy system predicted 858 games in the regular season and finished about 1% more accurate than betting lines established by bookmakers. In addition, Savvy was 11 games better in determining over/under point spreads and 53 games better in total game points.

In the postseason, Savvy was slightly worse in predicting game winners, even with bookmakers in determining spreads, and 12% better in determing total game points.
