And then there were two.

The College Football Playoff national championship matchup is set.

It’ll be Jim Harbaugh’s Michigan Wolverines (14-0) against Kalen DeBoer’s Washington Huskies (14-0).

The Wolverines have opened as 3.5-point favorites at multiple sportsbooks. DraftKings Sportsbook did open their number slightly higher, at Michigan -4.5.

As of Tuesday morning, the Wolverines were 4.5-point favorites at multiple sportsbooks.

One sportsbook was happy with Monday night’s results.

“With Alabama losing, both Michigan and Washington are winners for BetMGM on the futures market,” Tristan Davis, Senior Manager of Trading at BetMGM, said. “The sportsbook will likely need Washington to cover and the under in the championship game.”

The CFP title game will be played at 7: 30 p.m. ET on Jan. 8 at Houston’s NRG Stadium.

No. 1 Michigan advanced with a 27-20 overtime win over No. 4 Alabama at the Rose Bowl on Monday.
