Outback Bowl predictions: Michigan a clear favorite over South Carolina

We're less than two weeks out from the Outback Bowl, Jan. 1 in Tampa, Florida, and we've heard from the bettors.

Most Las Vegas casinos list Michigan as an 8-point favorite against South Carolina (noon, ESPN2). Bovada has the Wolverines -7 1/2.

Major, national media outlets are also picking Michigan.

Writers from ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Sporting News and CBS Sports are all going with the Wolverines, who ride into the post-season bowl game with back-to-back regular season losses for the first time under head coach Jim Harbuagh.
