The Michigan Wolverines can exact their revenge for a Final Four loss a season ago if they can take down the TCU Horned Frogs in the Fiesta Bowl. If Michigan is victorious, they will face the winner of the Georgia Bulldogs and Ohio State Buckeyes, both teams they are familiar with. The Wolverines were categorized by Aidan Hutchinson's dominant defensive front a season ago, but this year, they appear to be a deeper, more versatile team. The Wolverines dominate on defense, but have some playmakers in the passing and running game to give the TCU defense fits. Max Duggan leads a TCU Horned Frog team prepared to slay the dragon this postseason. Nothing the Wolverines will show TCU will have them shaking in their boots. Head Coach Sonny Dykes will have TCU prepared for this one. Who will be victorious--the powerful Wolverines or the underdog Horned Frogs?

TCU Horned Frogs vs. Michigan Wolverines Best Pick
TCU's run defense has been leaky in their highest-profile games this season. TCU has not seen the type of physicality and explosiveness in the run game that the Wolverines will throw at them. Donovan Edwards showed game-clinching ability in the 2nd half of the Ohio State game, and TCU likely won't put up much of a fight up front. On the other side of the ball, expect QB Max Duggan to be harassed all afternoon by the tenacious Wolverines' front seven. Duggan has done it all for the Horned Frogs down the stretch. Max Duggan intends to leave it all out on the field. Expect him to scramble plenty in this one and hammer the over on the rushing yards prop for QB Max Duggan.
Max Duggan, QB, TCU Horned Frogs, 23.5 Rushing Yards: Over
