Michigan Football: 8 headlines surrounding the Wolverines

9.5 win total? Give me a break.

More like give me the over.

Draftkings sportsbook put out betting lines for college football teams and set the win amount for Michigan at 9.5.

This Michigan football team who have won ten games in three of the last four years.

This Michigan football team who has a senior quarterback and some of the best receivers in all of college football.

This Michigan football team who lost a lot on defense and yet the fearless leader defensive coordinator Don Brown says it the most depth he’s ever had.

“I’ve never been this deep,” Brown said. “I’ve never had this many guys that I can (insert in). Now, it’s going to be competition breeds success, and let’s see where the fall takes us. You can only play one at a time, so you better find a way to get in that rotation — or win the job outright. That’s the exciting part and that’ll carry over to the fall, and I’m excited about it for sure.”

Rashan Gary left but as Brown puts it, “Kwity Paye might be, technically, the best football player in the country,” Brown said. “I’m just sayin’. That guy? He’s hard to fool. I have no concerns about him.”

Outside of those drafted, there’s also the question of the schedule. The schedule this year includes out-of-conference games at home against Middle Tennesse, Army, and Notre Dame.

They must completely count the Wolverines out against Notre Dame.

On top of that, Michigan State and Ohio State are also home games. Which begs the questions, where does DraftKings think Michigan football will lose?

Playing at home against an unproven Ohio State quarterback in Justin Fields who had a horrible performance at their spring game. Oh and should he get injured, they have Chris Chugnov and Danny Vanatsky (Who?) as backups because everyone is transferring out of OSU as fast as they can.

Give me a break and give me the over.
