Michigan opens as favorite vs. South Carolina in Outback Bowl
Published:
Vegas has already set the line for Outback Bowl matchup between Michigan and South Carolina.
Sunday evening, OddShark.com had the Wolverines listed as an eight-point favorite over the Gamecocks for the New Year’s Day clash in Tampa, Florida. Both teams enter the Outback Bowl with 8-4 records.
Michigan enters the game having lost its final two games of the season, falling to Wisconsin and Ohio State. South Carolina also lost its final game of the year to Clemson, but it did win five of its last six prior to that rivalry bout.
The eight-point line seems to vary depending on the site.
In 2013, Michigan and South Carolina met in the Outback Bowl, with the Gamecocks posting a 33-28 win over the Wolverines. Michigan made an appearance in last year’s Orange Bowl while South Carolina played in the Birmingham Bowl.
The Outback Bowl is scheduled for 12 p.m. ET on New Year’s Day.
