Oh, the cost of being virtuous.
Sports bettors in Michigan, prepare to stay put and savor the upcoming weekend as the state’s formidable college football teams showcase their dominance.
Appreciate the moment, as it could be challenging to come across a favorable bet.
Bettors are left contemplating other games as the upcoming matches between Michigan and Hawaii, as well as Michigan State and Akron, are predicted to be decisive victories according to the sportsbook numbers.
As of Thursday morning, the total points given by the two nationally-ranked teams amount to 86. Michigan, ranked fourth, has a significant advantage of 51.5 points against Hawaii, while Michigan State, ranked fourteenth, is favored by 34.5 points against Akron.
This week, bettors have limited options to explore, except for the Michigan game with a total of 67 at -115 and the over-under of 56 for the Michigan State game available at DraftKings Sportsbook MI.
In early September, blowouts are a common occurrence in college football. So, when No. 1 ranked Alabama is favored by -19 points against Texas, it may seem like a close match in comparison. However, the truly exciting and highly anticipated games will take place later in the season.

Michigan football spread a tough pill for bettors
People who are placing bets on Michigan football might be exploring alternative options or using this game as a reference point for the future. It’s surprising that despite giving more than seven touchdowns, the general opinion still favors Michigan. Hawaii has had a tough time in their previous two games, being outscored 112-27, and also allowed 63 points to Vanderbilt in their first game.
What is Michigan’s desired winning margin? Coach Jim Harbaugh has designated this week as a quarterback audition, pitting Cade McNamara against J.J. McCarthy.
Last week, McNamara made his debut in Michigan’s dominant victory over Colorado State, with a final score of 51-7.
This week, it is McCarthy’s turn.
Bettors lack knowledge about his preferred targets, tendencies, and inclination towards running or passing. Additionally, they are unaware of the duration for which he, along with other starters, will be on the field.
“The task of setting up a prop for a game like this is quite challenging,” stated Johnny Avello, the director of race and sportsbook operations for DraftKings, in his interview with Playinmichigan. “While it is assumed that Michigan will emerge victorious, and likely with a significant lead, the uncertainty lies in not knowing when they will ease off their efforts.”
If some props are placed on the board towards the end of the week, they might have potential. For instance, Hawaii had a disappointing 49-17 loss to Western Kentucky, with a total of eight turnovers, including a Pick 6. In this case, props related to a defensive score by Michigan, interceptions, or the length of a scoring play could be quite tempting.
Avello commented that one should observe Michigan’s performance in the first half to determine if the spread of -32.5 is suitable. However, he predicts that as the season progresses, Michigan will face tougher opponents and bring in substantial profits for us.
