Rose Bowl betting

Last year, Michigan (-2.5) beat Alabama, 27-20, in overtime in a game that determined a seat in the National Championship game. Overtime helped push the point total over its closing 45.5 line (47 combined points). Michigan made a fourth-down stand at the goal line and would eventually win the National Championship.

In 2022, Penn State (-1.5) defeated Utah 35-21 in the final true standalone Rose Bowl game. This year, the Rose Bowl is folded into the CFP and, moving to the 12-team playoff format, will continue to be so. The Nittany Lions pulled off a rare cover as a favorite, but the game fell just shy of its 54.5-point total.

Underdogs covered four the last six Rose Bowl games, the last favorite being Penn State (-1.5, 2022). Overs are 5-2 in the last seven games, with the only under being the aforementioned 2021 semifinal matchup.
