Bill Enright: Our college football gambling guide continues as we take a look at the Michigan Wolverines who won nine games in 2019. How many are they going to win in 2020? Let's bring on gambling analyst Frank Taddeo for the latest. Frank, what are the oddsmakers saying and should bettors take the over or under on Michigan this year?

Frank Taddeo: Yeah, right now, Bill, the oddsmakers have their season win total projection number set at nine wins with flat standard juice of -110 on both sides. It really is no real continuous sharp steam or sharp action right now involving the Michigan Wolverines. But as we know, Bill, they can have a new starting quarterback. They have four new offensive linemen. And that's led these sportsbooks and the oddsmakers to lead the four games, setting the lines at three points or less. And as we know, they also have one game on the horizon, on the slate this year, with Ohio State as double digit road underdogs. Which leads me to land upon finding extreme value right now with so much unpredictability on the offensive side of the ball to backing the under nine wins because I just don't think that they can get to ten wins this season, Bill, especially with this many question marks.
