Michigan Wolverines CFB Week 13 Betting Lines
The Michigan Wolverines were a powerful national champion last year with one of the most complete teams in college football. But led by head coach Jim Harbaugh and nearly all of the key players, the Michigan roster and staff are entirely different in 2024 and not nearly as good. Under rookie head coach Sherrone Moore, Michigan is half a team with no offense to support its defense. Michigan is coming off a bye week that followed losses to Oregon and Indiana. This week brings the Senior Day home finale against the Northwestern Wildcats.

Michigan Wolverines Weekly Recap

Michigan has a record of 5-5 straight up, 3-7 against the spread, and 6-4 over/under the total. Michigan ranks 129th for total offense, 129th for passing, 73rd for rushing and 118th for scoring.

Hoosiers quarterback Kurtis Rourke threw two first-half touchdown passes to help give Indiana a record-breaking victory over longtime nemesis Michigan. Rourke was 17 of 28 with 206 yards as the Hoosiers, college football's losingest program, beat college football's winningest program, Michigan, for just the second time since 1988 and earned the first 10-win season in Indiana history.
The Wolverines produced their lowest point total in this series since a 14-10 loss to Indiana in 1987. Davis Warren was 16 of 32 with 137 yards through the air, but Michigan rushed for just 69 yards.
Indiana took control when Rourke hooked up with Omar Cooper Jr. on a 7-yard TD pass late in the first quarter, then followed that score with a 36-yard TD pass to Elijah Sarratt early in the second quarter to make it 14-3.
The Hoosiers added a 40-yard field goal late in the first half, and Michigan added two second-half field goals — a 22-yarder after picking off Rourke at the Indiana 7-yard line and a 56-yarder that cut the deficit to 17-9 late in the third quarter. It was Dominic Zvada's fifth field goal of 50 or more yards this season.
Michigan had a chance to tie the score after Kalel Mullings converted a fourth-and-goal into a 1-yard scoring plunge with 9:35 remaining, but Warren's 2-point conversion trickled through a defender's hands and out the back of the end zone. Michigan got one more chance after an Indiana field goal, but the Wolverines turned the ball over on downs at their 42-yard line.

From the iconic winged helmets, the Big House, and “Hail to the Victors,” the Michigan Wolverines epitomize what college football tradition and ritual are all about. However, there are two sides to the Michigan Myth. Michigan has 11 national championships but only one (1997) since 1948.
Before the 2021 and 2022 seasons, Michigan found competing with Ohio State in the Big Ten impossible. In fact, Michigan went from 2003 through 2000 without a Big Ten championship. Despite the comparative lack of national success in the modern era, Michigan remains a marquee name and blue blood brand.
The late great Bo Schembechler took over a moribund program in 1969 and transformed it into a regular Big Ten and national championship contender. Schembechler’s program lived on after his retirement. One of Bo’s top assistants, Lloyd Carr, led the Wolverines to a national championship. But after Carr retired in 2007, Michigan lost its way. However, favorite son and alum Jim Harbaugh restored Michigan to glory with its greatest season ever in 2023.
