The current betting odds have Michigan listed as an 8 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Michigan has looked really good in their games this season with their 16-5 record overall and their 8-2 conference record which has them right near the top of the Big Ten. They have also looked great on their home court with their 10-0 home record. Meanwhile, Oregon has looked good in their games this season with their 16-6 record overall, but their 5-6 conference record has them right in the middle of the Big Ten. They looked great coming into conference play with some impressive wins this season, but they haven't looked as good lately as they have been struggling in the Big Ten. They have been a good road team so far with their 4-2 road record, but they haven't looked good lately with their 1-4 record in their last 5 games. They have also had to travel back and forth from East to West and that will take a toll on them as the season goes on. Michigan is coming off a win over Rutgers in their last one and they have looked better lately with their 3-2 record in their last 5 games. Dusty May has done a lot this season to turn this Michigan program around and even though Oregon is no longer ranked, this is a great opportunity for Michigan to add another good win to their resume. The best way to place a bet here is on Michigan to cover the spread in this game.
