According to FanDuel , Michigan has the second-best odds to win the national title next year with +800 odds, right behind Duke at +700. Other teams right behind them include Arizona (+1,200), Florida (+1,300), Houston (+1,400), Michigan State (+1,500), UConn (+1,600) and Kansas (+1,600). Considering Michigan was +1,400 to win it all prior to the start of the season , it’s truly a crapshoot when it comes to betting on the tournament champion this early.

I never advise anybody to actually put money on these way-too-early odds, but especially these types of bets. The offseason just began and the Wolverines are going to look a lot different in a few weeks after transfer portal season. What do you think of these odds?
