Georgia Bulldogs vs Michigan Wolverines Point Spread Picks

ORANGE BOWL - Georgia had its unbeaten season go up in smoke the last game, getting waxed by Alabama, 41-24, as a TD favorite. They're a touchdown favorite again versus a talented and well-coached Michigan squad that is 11-2 ATS against rush defenses that allow just 2.75 yards per carry. Michigan has a balanced offense (37.7 points per game) with a veteran offensive line blocking for RBs Hassan Haskins (1,288 yards, 4.9 per carry) and Blake Corum (939 yards, 6.7 per carry) who combined for 31 TDs. The Wolverines' defense is fourth in the nation in points given up (16.08 per game) and is led by the best defensive player in the nation in DE Aidan Hutchinson (14 sacks), the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy. Michigan comes off a pair of showdown wins and barely broke a sweat crushing Ohio State (42-27) and Iowa (42-3). Also, veteran teams like Michigan with nine or more offensive starters returning are 160-97 ATS as dogs of 3.5 to 10 points after a game allowing 5.5 or fewer passing yards per attempt. Play Michigan.
