Final Word

Total: When you look at these teams, it's hard to argue that the best units on both squads are their defenses. However, this total isn't giving nearly enough credit to the offenses. Michigan has scored 3.15 points per possession this season, which ranks seventh nationally. Alabama isn't far behind with 2.81 (20th). Both teams excel at finishing drives in the red zone and avoiding negative plays that cause the offense to fall behind schedule. Granted, neither has spent the entire season playing defenses as good as the ones they'll be facing here, but with a total at 44.5, it's not as if we need a high-scoring shootout. A 24-21 game gets us home. Plus, have you seen the history of the Rose Bowl? That's a fast track in Pasadena. Pick: Over 44.5

2023 Sugar Bowl: (2) Washington +4 vs. (3) Texas
Spread: These teams have a lot in common. Both are led by terrific offensive play callers who do a tremendous job of creating ways to put the ball in their best players' hands. Both have excellent quarterbacks surrounded by a deep cadre of talent at the skill positions and strong offensive lines to boot. If there's a difference between them, it's on the defensive side of the ball. Texas' defensive line, led by T'Vondre Sweat and Byron Murphy, could be the best in the country. It's certainly the best the Washington offense will have faced this season.

The problem for Texas? If there's a weak spot on the Longhorns defense, it's the secondary, and that's a terrible place to have problems when you're going against Michael Penix Jr., Rome Odunze, Ja'Lynn Polk and the Huskies. My suspicion is this game goes back and forth seeing plenty of points put on the board, but Texas strikes me as the more complete team, so that's the side I'm taking. But don't worry, Washington. I felt the same way about Oregon, and you know how that went. Pick: Texas -4



UT -4

That was an interesting 4th down call in the Ala - Mich game.

[spiderjohn]

Tell me..:..bet college football for first time in a couple of years yesterday and sweated it out for 8 hours
Played bama+112 money line big even thinking Milroe was no good—was correct on that

Came back with Wash +4 and +150 money line so got it all back plus a little gravy—refs gave Texas every extra chance possible adding time to the clock in the last 30 seconds—-wash definitely had the best qb in that game + nfl grade WRs

Can’t see wash holding off Michigan dl long enough to get WRs deep—probably mich -6 early line?

Bet my partner’s runner in FG 4th also—nice runner 2for 2 now
Crushed on win price when fave was declared non starter after running 2nd—starter held him at the break ruling—thought we watched past posting in the 4th and 5th—8-5 #7 breaks last and Bruno’s 2-1 immediately went to even money after not being favored at any time—and after inquiry goes to 3-5—-next race speedball Charging starts race at 5-2 and breaks on top by 2-3 and drops to 8-5

Just sayin……

————————-

And if anyone remembers, during a discussion with Spanky and bobtail early/mid season, I stated that I thought Michigan and Washington were maybe the best two teams in the country

[thebobtailnag]

You did.

To your credit bobtail, you agreed with me!
