College Football Betting Line – Michigan QB Shuffle

College football odds at the sportsbook favor the Wolverines but Michigan has some issues including at quarterback.

College football betting line numbers have Michigan an 11 point home favorite against Western Michigan.  For the Wolverines to cover the college football odds they are going to need to find an effective quarterback.  It could be freshman Denard Robinson or it might be freshman Tate Forcier or junior Nick Sheridan.  Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez has said that whoever starts the opener may not win the job. "Maybe we'll have three starting quarterbacks," Rodriguez said. "That would be neat."

The Wolverines are going to have to make a decision if they want to win games versus the college football betting line.  Using three quarterbacks is simply unwise but Rodriguez has not done much right since taking over at Michigan so anything is possible.  Robinson has the most talent and could impact the college football betting line.  Sheridan is simply not very good as college football betting line facts tell us and it is really unknown how good Forcier will be.  Robinson is the fastest of the three and is fun to watch. "I get away with a lot," Robinson said, "I'll probably make a mistake and get back on it with my speed."

Last season in college football betting line action, the Wolverines were simply not very good.  That could be the case again this college football betting line season although optimism is high.  Michigan is still very young and that could be a problem when it comes to college football odds at the sportsbook. "Our concerns that we have are probably still there -- a lack of depth in some positions," Rodriguez said. "Our young guys probably aren't quite ready to play at the highest level. They may have to play in some spots, and that makes us nervous."

Last season the Wolverines were a pathetic 2-10 against the college football odds.  They may be better this season versus the online sports betting odds but only if Rodriguez starts to make better decisions with his team and if his young recruits start to play better.  One of those is Robinson and he could be the quarterback that turns Michigan into a winning football team versus the college football betting line.
