What to Know
The Clev. State Vikings will hit the road to start this year's campaign against the Michigan Wolverines. Tip off is scheduled at 8:00 p.m. ET on Monday at Crisler Center.
Looking back to last season, Michigan finished with a dismal 8-23 record. On the other hand, Clev. State assembled a winning record last year, finishing the season 18-13.
Looking forward, Michigan is probably looking forward to this one considering their 20.5 advantage in the spread. They finished last season with a mediocre 8-23 record against the spread, so bettors beware.
While Michigan might be expected to win, their sub-par 5-8 record as the favorite last season means this is still anyone's game. While their fans probably aren't happy about it, betting on the team to lose was the smart play last year, as bettors who put $100 on that outcome every game finished the season up $1,978.64. Sadly, Clev. State will open their season as the underdog, and the team was 4-9 as such last year.
