Michigan Football betting had the Wolverines at +450 odds to win the 2013 Big 10 and 50/1 odds to win the 2014 BCS Championship. Ohio State is expected to own the Big 10 in 2013.
For futures bettors, probably the best wager would be on Michigan to win OVER 8.5 regular season games. Most experts have the Wolverines winning 10. There may be a wildcard in Nebraska, but that is still 9 regular season wins. The price tag on the OVER is -140.
Steven Lassan from AthlonSports.com offered up this prediction:
With Nebraska, Michigan State, Northwestern and Michigan all capable of winning the division crown, the Legends Division will be one of the toughest leagues in the nation this year. I’m picking the Wolverines to win the division and play in a BCS bowl with a 10-2 record. However, there’s no question this will be a difficult road for Brady Hoke’s team. Even though the offensive line is a concern, promising redshirt freshman Ben Braden and Kyle Kalis could turn the interior into a strength with some seasoning early in the year. And true freshman running back Derrick Green could end up as one of the team’s top playmakers by midseason. With Hoke and Greg Mattison calling the shots, Michigan should finish in the top four of total and scoring defense in the Big Ten – even with six new starters stepping into the lineup. If the Wolverines can get by Notre Dame on Sept. 7, the Wolverines should be 7-0 going into November. However, the real test for Michigan comes in the final month, as road tests at Michigan State and Northwestern won’t be easy, along with home affairs against Nebraska and Ohio State. Assuming the Wolverines win the Legends Division, it could set up an interesting Big Ten Championship with the rival Buckeyes.
