Michigan Wolverines Betting Guide: U-M Football Futures

Michigan Wolverines Football Betting Guide: U-M Football Futures

Quick Facts:

🏆 The Michigan Wolverines football team went 15-0, defeating Washington in the 2024 National Championship.

🏈 College football realigned this offseason, making a U-M championship repeat unlikely according to oddsmakers.

📈 With the new 12-team playoff format, the Wolverines have a 46.51% chance to make the College Football Playoff.

The latest Michigan Wolverines odds from DraftKings give the defending champs a 3.8% chance to win the National Championship, based on implied probability at +2500 odds.

College football will look much different this season, including four new teams in the Big Ten & SEC. Meanwhile, the Michigan football head coach won't be the same for the first time since 2015.

Longtime assistant coach Sherrone Moore takes over the helm from long-time coach Jim Harbaugh but outside of the coaching staff, there won't be many changes. U-M hired longtime NFL defensive coordinator Wink Martindale to captain a defense that returns most of its production from a historic season, including three projected first-round draft picks in Will Johnson, Mason Graham, and Kenneth Grant.

Offensively, the Wolverines have plenty of questions to answer but Moore's experience as offensive coordinator throughout the program's historic three-year run suggests stability. In fact, he led the team as head coach in four games last year, including wins over rivals Ohio State & Penn State.

As the program embarks on a new journey, it sits between third and fourth in the conference according to most preseason predictions. Still, in such a wide-open field, oddsmakers list them as one of the few teams expected to make the first 12-team playoff.

Throughout the season, I will track the latest Michigan football odds from legal Michigan sports betting sites.

Michigan Wolverines Football Odds FAQs

The Michigan Wolverines are listed at +2500 odds to win the college football National Championship in 2024-25, according to DraftKings. U-M has the 11th-shortest odds among the 134 FBS teams in college football this year. Last season, the Wolverines defeated Washington to win its first national title since 1997.

After winning three consecutive Big Ten titles from 2021-2023, the Michigan Wolverines carry +600 odds to do it a fourth time. With four new teams joining the conference in 2024, U-M has the fourth-shortest odds among the 18 total teams, trailing Penn State, Oregon, and Ohio State.

After making three straight trips to the College Football Playoff, the Michigan Wolverines are listed at odds ranging from -110 to +115 to do it again in 2024-25. With the new 12-team format, oddsmakers anticipate the Wolverines will do enough under new head coach Sherrone Moore to make another run at the postseason.

According to the latest odds at DraftKings, the Michigan football win total is 9. The Wolverines haven't finished with less than 11 wins in a regular season since 2020. However, with a new coach and a brand-new Big Ten Conference, oddsmakers project a fringe playoff season for U-M in 2024.
