Can Alex Orji be the quarterback that Michigan needs in 2024? Will Donovan Edwards finally have the type of season that most fans believe he is capable of? Will an entirely new offensive line be able to continue the long line of success that is expected in Ann Arbor? These are all questions that will be answered in the months ahead. But for now, the belief is that Michigan will have some growing pains in year one of the Sherrone Moore era.

Before we get to the odds, let’s take a look at Michigan’s 2024 schedule:
Out of the 12 regular season games listed above, there are five games that I would consider to be “losable” games (in bold). That doesn’t mean that Michigan will lose those contests, it just means that those specific opponents each present a unique challenge for the Wolverines as they look to defend their status as reigning Big Ten Champions.
Given how difficult the schedule is, coupled with all of the turnover and significant changes that took place this off-season, it should come as no surprise that Vegas also anticipates the Wolverines stumbling once or twice in 2024.
Let’s take a look at how Vegas views the Wolverines in 2024 (via Vegas Insider).
