Michigan: Chalk to win the Big 10 and the rest of its games

Submitted by jamiemac on

So, I am working on a Big 10 post for the JCB to hopefully time with another raucous MGoPodcast, which I assume will be posted later today. I am looking over stats, boxscores, depth charts and, naturally, I eventually check the updated odds.

Two shocks. Michigan is not only favored to win their remaining 4 games, but they are also the current betting chalk to win the Big 10 Championship.

All lines are from Sportsbook.com

Game lines:

MICH -4.5 at Iowa

MICH -3 at Illinois

MICH -3 vs Nebraska

MICH -5.5 vs Ohio State

Big Ten Championship Odds:

MICH +200 (2/1)

Wisco +300 (3/1)

PSU +300 (3/1)

Brasker +350 (3.5/1)

MSU +450 (4.5/1)

OSU +600 (6/1)

Down the stretch we come and MICH is somehow the favorite.

osu has a tough defensive line. we wont be able to run like we did vs purdue and we will have to rely on denards ability to throw the ball in tight spaces. osu is a champion and all the players have confidence. our players...well...need to overcome all the likely seeds of doubt tht will creep in if things dont go right as they dont know what its like to win a big tough meaningful game against a rival. i hope r coaches confidence will spill over into the players. i want to beat ohio soooo bad...but its hard to believe we can let along "bet" on it

Agreed.

I am not even thinking about UM making it to the B1G CG because it is incredibly unlikely. If UM can win 2 of the next 4 games including a win over OSU for a 9-3 regular season, I will be extremely pleased. That will easily exceed my pre-season expectations for this team.
