Michigan Wolverines Odds to Win 2019 College Football Championship Week 11

The Michigan Wolverines were heading into Week 11 with odds of winning the 2019 College Football Championship now set at 8-1.

From ESPN.com: "No team gained more ground in the playoff race yesterday than Michigan, who moved from a 38% chance to reach the playoff entering the week to 50% now. Notre Dame (73%) and Alabama (86%) picked up 8 and 4 percentage points each, respectively."

....."That rush package has helped the Wolverines stop their last three opponents -- Wisconsin, Michigan State and Penn State -- on 30 of 34 third-down attempts. Two of those successful conversions came with less than a yard to gain, and the other two came in garbage time of blowout victories."

....."The Wolverines' offense appears to be building up a healthy lather as well as this team plows forward toward the home stretch of the regular season. Senior Karan Higdon topped 100 rushing yards for his seventh straight game, and quarterback Shea Patterson's success in the running game should keep the remaining teams on Michigan's schedule honest against option plays. Sophomore Donovan Peoples-Jones scored a touchdown for the second straight week and continues to blossom into a bona fide deep-ball threat."

....."The bigger question now for Michigan is whether the Big Ten's new bully can hang on a bigger playground. Penn State averaged more than 40 points per game coming into Ann Arbor, but without a fully mobile quarterback its offense was a shell of its once rocket-powered self. Can the Wolverines' defense remain as dominant if down the road it runs into a juggernaut like Alabama or Clemson?"
