The College Football Playoff National Championship Game is set for Jan. 8 at NRG Stadium in Houston. We know 1 team that will be in it: Michigan, who defeated Alabama 27-20 in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day.

Ahead of the title game, FanDuel Sportsbook released its opening line for a hypothetical matchup against Washington, and the Wolverines were a 4-point favorite with the over/under set for 54.5. The Huskies held a 4th-quarter lead over Texas at the Sugar Bowl at the time the odds were released.

Regardless of the Wolverines’ opponent, they’ll be paired against a team that they haven’t faced that often.

Michigan’s last game against Washington was a non-conference win in 2021, just the 13th time the 2 programs have met on the gridiron and a series that Michigan leads 8-5. Its 1st and only time playing Texas was the 2005 Rose Bowl, a 38-37 Longhorns victory.

Kickoff for the CFP National Championship Game is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on Jan. 8 on ESPN, with its family of networks showing the game via its Megacast coverage.
