Penn State, Michigan Share the Same Odds of Winning the Big Ten
Penn State has climbed back into the Big Ten race, according to oddsmaker Betonline. But the Lions (and everyone else) trail defending champ Ohio State by a wide margin.
Penn State and Michigan are tied as 17/2 bets to win the 2021 Big Ten championship, according to Betonline's early conference look. Ohio State is the overwhelming favorite (at 2/3) followed by Wisconsin (at 8/1).
Penn State and Wisconsin will test those odds right away, as the Lions open the 2021 season Sept. 4 at Camp Randall Stadium.
