Michigan Wolverines Favorites in Betting Markets for College Football Showdown with Penn State Nittany Lions

Despite Penn State's desperate need for a win to stay relevant in the national title race, college football analysts widely predict a Michigan victory

In a highly anticipated college football showdown, the Michigan Wolverines are favored in betting markets against the Penn State Nittany Lions, despite the latter's desperate need for victory to stay in the national championship race.
Sportsbooks have seen significant early-line movements this week, with the Wolverines listed as 6-point favorites against Ohio State, and confirmed consensus favorites to win the national championship.
Other notable betting picks for this week predict victories for both the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Bengals, and a surprising win for the underdog UNLV Rebels against Wyoming, primarily due to reforms of the 'next-player-up culture' under head coach Barry Odom.
A combination of tough future schedules and better betting options keep analysts skeptical about the Bengals' prospects, despite showing improvements in recent games.
Notable prop bets for this week include Alvin Kamara's receiving yards exceeding 34.5, DeAndre Hopkins' receiving yards exceeding 61.5, and Tony Pollard scoring a touchdown at any time during the match.
