After defying all odds and winning The Game without Jim Harbaugh on Saturday, the Michigan Wolverines booked their third consecutive Big Ten Championship Game appearance in Indianapolis.
Their opponent — the Iowa Hawkeyes. Kirk Ferentz and company played Michigan in the 2021 edition of the conference championship, losing to the Wolverines, 42-3.
The oddsmakers don’t expect it to be that much of a blowout, but they do believe the Wolverines have a huge advantage. The opening betting line was just released by DraftKings Sportsbook, and Michigan is a 22.5-point favorite to begin the week.
