The betting value for Michigan is tied to the program’s sustained culture of physicality and elite talent, highlighted by freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood and transfer running back Justice Haynes, who anchor a dominant rushing attack that ranks highly nationally. While they trail Ohio State, Oregon, and Indiana in the odds, their path to the Big Ten Championship Game is straightforward: win every game and beat Ohio State, with the simplified, division-less Big Ten structure ensuring the two teams with the best conference record meet in the final.

Multiple factors play a role in a team’s chances of winning the conference title, including returning production, transfers, recruits, and strength of schedule. Focusing on returning production, chemistry is as important as ever as the college football landscape has drastically changed over the past few years. When continuity is on a team’s side, there is less variance in their contests. Especially early on when teams are still trying to figure out their identity.
As for strength of schedule, an easier schedule drastically increases a team’s chances of playing for the conference title as the only requirement is to possess one of the top two conference records. Look for teams who play their rivals and toughest opponents at home, have byes before those key games take place, and possess an easy non-conference schedule to help work out their early-season kinks.
Before betting on the Big Ten Conference winner market, it’s vital to know how the listed odds work. If you place a $100 wager on Michigan at their early season odds of +900, then you would profit $900 if the Wolverines win the conference title.
If you wait to see if the Wolverines get off to a hot start and are listed with a minus sign in front of their odds (-135 for example), then you would need to wager $135 to profit $100. Be sure to line shop before placing a wager as the odds for the same market can drastically vary between each sportsbook.

With Oregon winning the Big Ten conference title in 2024, the Michigan Wolverines and Ohio State Buckeyes' run has come to an end after the two rivals won the past seven titles in a row. A potential sign of things to come as there is more parity than ever before with Oregon, Washington, UCLA, and USC all joining the conference after the Pac-12 dissolved.
