The Michigan Wolverines are coming off their first road trip of the 2023 season, a game that resulted in a 45-7 blowout over the Nebraska Cornhuskers. They quickly return to Ann Arbor for the week before heading to Minnesota next Saturday in primetime (7:30 p.m., NBC).
The oddsmakers over at DraftKings Sportsbook just released the opening odds for the game, and the Wolverines — to nobody’s surprise — are a big 18.5-point favorite over the Golden Gophers.
Minnesota came into the 2023 season with decently high expectations. The Gophers were picked to finish third in the Big Ten West preseason poll.
