ATTN: WOODY the guys at VI like your Wolverines.
Big 10 Conference Winner Best Bet:
Michigan to win Big 10 (+250)
There are definitely multiple ways to go in terms of Big 10 futures, and after almost settling on/including Michigan State at +1000 odds for this play, it's their hated rivals the Wolverines that should be able to claim their first Big 10 title in 14 years.
HC Jim Harbaugh is continually ripped for his khakis, his coaching methods, and his under-performing teams, but 2019 could be the year he's able to get one over on all his detractors as his team's got a great shot at going the distance in this conference. For one, he keeps his starting QB Shea Patterson for another go-around, and the continuity he's got there is something he's really wished to have for the past few years.
Secondly, thre isn't one of those dastardly rivalry games on the road for Michigan to trip up on this season, as yes, they go to Wisconsin (you already know those thoughts), but they host Iowa, Michigan State, and Ohio State. They've got road dates against Illinois, Maryland, and Indiana, which all could be potential 'flat' spots in terms of ATS wagers – especially that Indiana game sandwiched between Michigan State and Ohio State – but those should still end up in outright victories regardless.
With Harbaugh's club currently laying double digits in those home games against Iowa and Michigan State, and laying -3.5 in their season finale with the Buckeyes, the bounces from the schedule side of things have already gone the Wolverines way. Should they be able to get a little luck on the field for once, and not fall victim to their own hype in a no-show game or two, this football team ends up going to the Big 10 Championship game and blowing the doors off whomever ends up coming out of the West. -

Harbaugh has given up the reigns to our offense to a young, up and coming offensive coordinator. We'll actually have tempo and throw the ball. We'll also be starting 3 NFL WRs and our best OL in forever. If everything can come together on offense we should look much better there.
Of course we have holes to fill on the defense in the meantime. Interior DL is a concern. We're light on depth at other spots.

Sure thing Mr. "Every #1 draft pick is always going to be an OSU player....". Or your documented thoughts on universities...
I don't think anyone here could have a more biased opinion on something Michigan or OSU related than you.

No it's shitty because we go from a terrible away schedule one year to a great home schedule the next.
It would be much better if it was evened out

It remains to be seen how the BUCKEYES do in the post Tressel/Urban recruitment, administration and coaching era.
It is a huge job to keep these perennial top 5 juggernauts going year after year.....it will be interesting.

Actually the secret there is to win a few tough road games then a program can start on a roll year after year.

It also screws with how good season tickets are year to year and things like that

We'll see.
I see OSU dropped the texts and emails from the Zach Smith scandal on a Friday afternoon. Smart. 90% of them are redacted though. Doesn't tell us much..

Kind of true a balanced schedule would be nice -but- with two divisions and having to play within them it can restrict things. Face it one side is loaded compared to the other one.
