Rose Bowl 2024 Winner Odds: Michigan v. Alabama- Who’s Favourite to Win the National Championship?

New Year will witness a never-seen form of Michigan Wolverines. Jim Harbaugh has been waiting for the longstanding perfect postseason revenge. Rose Bowl 2024 might be ‘the’ postseason Bowl game. Since Harbaugh joined hands with the team in 2015, only once have they won a Bowl game in the postseason.

The joining year Harbaugh was the only one with shreds of hope, as after that, the team compiled six straight win-less playoff appearances. To make matters worse, this season Harbaugh faced two three-game suspensions due to the sign-stealing debacle. Yet, they emerged as the miracle team of football this season. Now, their winning chances are even more roller-coaster-ish than their whole season.

Jim Harbaugh and Co.’s win favored more by numbers

Alabama and Michigan are on the cusp of having a showdown of a lifetime. However, this season the pigskin ball is in the No. 1 Michigan’s court. Per ESPN FPI numbers, the Wolverines have a 55.6% chance to defeat the coming-in-too-hot SEC Champions. Speaking of wins, the team has high hopes for the National Championship this season as they have a 36% chance of winning the National Championship, as the last National championship they brought home was in 1997.

Per the same ratings, the Wolverines’ probable opponents for the National Championship appear to be the Texas Longhorns, as they have a whopping 69.2% chance to beat Washington. Yet, they fall short in the National Championship with just 29.2% odds. The credible entities for making Michigan the formidable team for the National Championship since 1997? Harbaugh’s persistence throughout the years and his team have some of the best talents in the nation.

A glance at Alabama’s and Michigan’s roster

Michigan boasts about their almost flawless roster with one hell of a stringent defense and an offense in which the front five have been awarded the Joe Moore Award. Their players speak with their production. McCarthy, Sainristil, and Zinter have become the living nightmare for teams across the nation. To add to their fury, the players had their abilities questioned following the sign-stealing farce, making this their ultimate battle for redemption.

The Crimson Tide, on the other hand, faced criticism when they were selected for the playoffs. Hence, the game becomes their redemption battle as well. Per ESPN, “Alabama is a flawed but ascending team.” QB Jalen Milroe is the nation’s most improved player, set to attack Sainristil. Reichard and McClellan are also set on their targets. Looking at Saban’s stellar seven national championship record, along with Harbaugh’s SB appearance, the New Year game will be a competition to behold.
