Could this finally be the year Michigan gets over the hump and Jim Harbaugh claims his first B1G title? Vegas certainly likes those odds.

BetOnline recently released opening lines for select teams and games in the 2019 season. Michigan is an early favorite in all five big games next fall, including the season-ending rivalry matchup against Ohio State.

As if Michigan wasn’t excited enough about the upcoming football season, right?

With Michigan pegged as a favorite in all five of the biggest games, it likely means that Vegas is picking the Wolverines in all 12 regular season contests next season. Here’s a look at the early spreads for those five games in 2019 from BetOnline.ag:

  • Michigan (-6) vs. Wisconsin
  • Michigan (-8.5) vs. Notre Dame
  • Michigan (-6.5) vs. Penn State
  • Michigan (-13) vs. Michigan State
  • Michigan (-6.5) vs. Ohio State

The Wolverines finished the 2019 season with a 10-3 record with losses only to Notre Dame, Ohio State and Florida in the Peach Bowl. Shea Patterson returns at quarterback, along with a slew of talented wide receivers.

It’s extremely early, with the season still six months away. Still, Vegas is really high on Michigan entering the 2019 season.
