The Saturday matchup in East Lansing demonstrated the immense excitement generated by a classic in-state rivalry battle.
However, when examining the betting handle of Michigan and Michigan State, it becomes evident once more that professional football reigns supreme.
The most bet-on college football game of the season for one of the leading Michigan online sports betting operators was the Spartans’ 37-33 victory over the Wolverines.
However, it still falls short compared to the National Football League.
BetMGM: Michigan vs. Michigan State had most college football action this season
Not only Kenneth Walker III, a Heisman Trophy candidate, was racking up impressive numbers on Saturday.
The most bet-on college football game of the season nationwide was the top-10 showdown, as reported by BetMGM Sportsbook.
Of course, it comes as no surprise that the game was also the most heavily bet on by Michigan bettors this season, and there is a significant connection between the two.
BetMGM’s substantial investment in Michigan has proven to be highly successful, propelling the company into the upper echelon of national sportsbooks. As a result, the influence of Michigan’s betting activity has significantly impacted several of BetMGM’s markets across the country.
In addition, it was noted by BetMGM that Michigan State received the largest number of bets among all college football teams on Saturday. Conversely, Michigan emerged as the team with the highest monetary value wagered on them nationwide.
According to BetMGM, 60% of the spread bets made for the game favored Michigan State, while 59% of the total amount wagered was in favor of Michigan.
The outcome was equally unfavorable for bettors, as a staggering 82% of the wagers were placed on the under. However, Walker and his teammates effortlessly surpassed the predicted game-time total of 50.5 points.
College football betting still dwarfed by NFL
Another perspective was shared by John Ewing, a data analyst at BetMGM, during an interview with Playinmichigan. While the operator can be satisfied with the turnout of bettors from Michigan and MSU, Sundays consistently perform even better.
According to Ewing, despite the Wolverines and Spartans being at the top of the college betting rankings throughout the season, there have already been twelve NFL games this year that have generated higher betting activity than the UM vs. MSU match.
Despite the fact that the Detroit Lions, a team known for their lack of success, are considered the primary team in one of the most influential states for the operator, this news still comes as a surprise.
Indeed, the NFL continues to reign supreme.
PointsBet: Michigan-Michigan State at night could’ve topped 2021 list
The PointsBet Sportsbook saw significant engagement during the Paul Bunyan Trophy showdown.
In the scenario, the amount of handle was twice as high as the second-most wagered-on game of the day, which was the Ohio State vs Penn State match in prime time.
Nevertheless, the level of action at PointsBet for the Spartans and Wolverines fell short compared to a previous season showdown between Alabama and Texas A&M on Oct. 9.
Mike Korn, a sports analyst at PointsBet, stated that had the Michigan/Michigan State game been scheduled for a primetime night slot, it would have undoubtedly surpassed the handle of the Bama/A&M game.
However, when considering only Michigan bettors, the college football game between in-state teams on Saturday garnered the highest amount of wagers at PointsBet this season.
