Watching The Rose Bowl Game presented by Northwestern Mutual is part of the holiday tradition of millions of Americans, and the 2019 Rose Bowl Game should be a special one with a pair of top-10 teams and conference champions going head-to-head. The "Granddaddy of Them All" is out of the College Football Playoff rotation this year, so it's back to the Big Ten Champion vs. Pac-12 Champion with No. 5 Ohio State taking on No. 9 Washington at 5 p.m. ET on New Year's Day. Star quarterbacks Dwayne Haskins and Jake Browning will be front and center with the Buckeyes as 5.5-point favorites and the total at 55.5 points in the latest Ohio State vs. Washington odds. But making your own 2019 Rose Bowl picks, be sure to check out the Ohio State vs. Washington picks and predictions from the proven computer model at SportsLine first.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times, and those who have followed it have seen massive returns. Over the past three years, this proprietary computer model has generated a jaw-dropping $4,210 profit for $100 bettors on its top-rated point-spread picks.

The model made some huge calls during Championship Week, including Ohio State (-16.5) against Northwestern and Oklahoma (-9.5) against Texas. And when it comes to all top-rated picks, the model has been red-hot, entering the 2018 college football bowl season on a blistering 45-25 run. This same model has also nailed almost 70 percent of bowl picks straight-up over the past three years. Anybody who has followed it is way up.

Now, the model has evaluated the latest 2019 Rose Bowl odds and simulated every possible play for Ohio State vs. Washington. We can tell you it is leaning toward the under for the Rose Bowl presented by Northwestern Mutual, but it also says one side of the spread cashes well over 50 percent of the time. You can only see that one at SportsLine.

As both teams set their sights on the Rose Bowl 2019, one huge advantage from a betting perspective for Ohio State has to be Urban Meyer. The three-time national championship coach will retire at the end of this season and that will be a storyline that is milked for everything it's worth in the run up to and during the game. However, it's the extra time to prepare that makes Meyer an asset even more than the motivation of sending him off with a victory.

Going back to his time at Utah, Meyer has been extremely successful in bowl games, with an 11-3 record all-time and a 4-2 record at Ohio State and they covered the spread in all four of those wins at Ohio State. Meyer knows how to make the most out of a month to prepare and with so much offensive firepower, there's a good chance that translates to a cover for Buckeyes backers.

But just because Meyer has historically done well in this setting doesn't mean the Buckeyes can cover the Rose Bowl spread against the Huskies.

Even though the Pac-12 wasn't quite as prolific offensively in 2018 as it has been in past years, Washington's blueprint for Ohio State probably looks similar to what it employed on the road against arch-rival Washington State. In that 28-15 victory to end the regular season and earn their way into the Pac-12 Championship Game, the Huskies held the Cougars to just 152 yards passing, while forcing multiple turnovers.

The Huskies went on to record three interceptions in a win over Utah en route to the Pac-12 title and have now forced 10 turnovers in their last four games. Stealing a couple of possessions from Ohio State's offense would certainly go a long way towards the cover.

So who wins Ohio State vs. Washington? And which side of the spread hits in well over 50 percent of simulations? Visit SportsLine now to see which side of the 2019 Rose Bowl spread you need to jump on, all from the model that has returned more than $4,000 in profit for $100 bettors, and find out.
