Fiesta Bowl Betting Odds - TCU vs. Michigan

2022 Fiesta Bowl NCAA Football Betting

In 2014 the TCU Horned Frogs were bypassed for the College Football Playoff. Millions of fans and gamblers screamed that it was an injustice. And perhaps it was. The Ohio State Buckeyes got the spot that TCU believed they deserved. And Ohio State went on to win the national championship. This year, not even a loss in the Big 12 championship game to the Kansas State Wildcats could keep the Horned Frogs out. They were simply too good. But on December 31, 2022, TCU will face its toughest opponent yet. The Michigan Wolverines dominated the Big Ten conference to win their second consecutive league title.

Fiesta Bowl Prediction

Michigan is a slightly less dominant version of the Georgia Bulldogs. The Wolverines are tough and nasty, with one of the nation’s top defenses. TCU is outclassed defensively and on roster depth.

Fiesta Bowl Format

Originally founded in 1971 as a home bowl game for the Arizona State Sun Devils, the Fiesta Bowl has grown into a college football playoff rotation and top-tier postseason game.

Thus, the Fiesta Bowl tie-in is based on the college football playoff. The game has been held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, home of the NFL Arizona Cardinals, since 2007. Previously it was held that Arizona State University Sun Devil Stadium from 1971-2006. The payout is $17 million.

The 2021 Fiesta Bowl played host to Oregon and Iowa State. The Cyclones were a 4.5-point favorite, and they proved they deserved to be favored as they routed the Ducks, winning 34-17. Iowa State broke the game open in the second quarter, outscoring the Ducks 21-10. The game was decided at the half, as the Ducks led 28-17. Oregon did nothing in the second half and didn’t score at all. Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy was named the offensive MVP of the game, while O’Rien Vance was named the defensive MVP.

It’s quite appropriate that the Penn State Nittany Lions have the most all-time wins at the Fiesta Bowl at 7. The Nittany Lions pulled off one of the greatest upsets in college football history at the January 2, 1987, Fiesta Bowl. The undefeated Miami Hurricanes hit the town in battle fatigues, with plenty to say. They departed in silence with a 14-10 loss that cost them the national championship.
