When is the 2022 Fiesta Bowl? Date, Start Time
The 2022 Fiesta Bowl is happening today, Saturday, Dec. 31 at 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT.
Michigan vs. TCU Odds, Prediction
Thanks to a perfect 13-0 regular season record, No. 2-ranked Michigan enters the Fiesta Bowl as the favorite with a -7.5-point spread. The Wolverines have one of, if not the best defensive lines in college football, as well as a killer running game, and will likely make it to the championship next Monday.
But Michigan’s top-tier defense will still be put to the test today against TCU’s Heisman Trophy finalist quarterback, Max Duggan, who has helped the team rack up an average of 40.3 points per game. The Horned Frogs are also likely feeling spirited after a close 31-28 overtime loss to Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship Game.
