Paul Finebaum couldn’t resist trolling Michigan
Published:
We already know that Paul Finebaum isn’t a Jim Harbaugh believer.
He claimed earlier in the offseason that the Michigan coach was becoming “the most annoying person in college football” after he called out Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze for opposing satellite camps to spend time with his family.” Even on a holiday weekend, the SEC Network analyst/homer couldn’t resist some more trolling of the maize and blue.
It was reported that as of right now, Michigan is getting the most bets of any team to win the national title, per Bovada:
More money has been bet on the Michigan Wolverines to win the national championship than any other team @LVSuperBook.

That’s not too big of a surprising given Michigan’s likely preseason spot in the top five, and the fact that the Wolverines doubled their win total in the first year of the Harbaugh era.
As expected, Finebaum shared his anti-Michigan opinions of the pro-Michigan betting:

Finebaum has taken a shot at seemingly every top B1G team in the last year. He claimed that Michigan State only made it to the College Football Playoff because “Ohio State didn’t want to be there.” He also guaranteed an Iowa loss in the B1G Championship.
It seems that the only safe bet these days is that Finebaum will be betting against the B1G. And for the SEC.
