What happened in the Rose Bowl?

Michigan defeated Alabama 27-20 in overtime in the Rose Bowl earlier this year to advance to the College Football Playoff National Championship game. Former Wolverines quarterback J.J. McCarthy finished the Rose Bowl by completing 17 of 27 passes for 221 yards and three touchdowns. He also had help from running back Blake Corrum, who had 19 carries for 83 yards and one touchdown.

Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Milroe struggled in the Rose Bowl and couldn't score a touchdown. He had completed 16 of 23 passes for 116 yards. Next Tuesday presents an opportunity for Milroe to get revenge for the team's loss and make up for his performance in the Rose Bowl.

Betting odds favor Alabama to beat Michigan

Both teams will try to end their season on a high note with a victory. That said, DraftKings has the Crimson Tide as a -485 favorite to win the ReliaQuest Bowl.

Michigan quarterback Davis Warren hasn't played as well as McCarthy did in his senior year. Warren comes into the game with 125 completed passes for 1,126 yards and six touchdowns. He also made mistakes when throwing the football this season, with nine interceptions.

Alabama's defense could be an issue for Warren to deal with. The loss to Michigan in the Rose Bowl could also motivate "The Tide" to win dominantly in the ReliaQuest Bowl.
