DraftKings has released its win total odds for teams across the college football landscape, including those in the Big Ten conference. Excluding Rutgers, all the Big Ten teams have an over/under set for their win total.

The two leaders of the pack are, unsurprisingly, Michigan and Ohio State. The winners of the last six Big Ten Championship Games and two of the four teams in last year’s College Football Playoff, the Wolverines and Buckeyes opened with a win total at 10.5.

Both teams have high expectations heading into the 2023 season.

Penn State, seemingly always the bridesmaid and never the bride of the Big Ten, is right behind them with their over/under set at 9.5.

The Nittany Lions are hoping to finally make a breakthrough in 2023 with former five-star recruits Drew Allar and Nick Singleton.

Wisconsin, with new head coach Luke Fickell, rounds out the top four teams in the Big Ten with their win total set at 9.

Michigan, Ohio State among top contenders for College Football Playoff National Championship

DraftKings also has future odds released for who will win the College Football Playoff National Championship come January at NRG Stadium in Houston.

Two-time defending champion Georgia is the favorite at +230 followed by Alabama at +550. The two bellcows of the Big Ten come next as Ohio State has +650 and Michigan has +900.

Future Big Ten member USC, competing in the Pac-12 for the final time, has the fifth-best odds at +1400.

Penn State’s is at +2500 and Wisconsin is +6000.

The Big Ten teams with the longest odds at the national title are Indiana and Northwestern at +100000.

Allar and Buckeyes quarterback Kyle McCord have the best odds among Big Ten players to win the Heisman Trophy at +2200 odds. However, neither player makes the early top 10 list, which is topped by the current winner and Trojans quarterback Caleb Williams.

Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy has +2500 odds, Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is at +2800 odds, Wolverines running back Blake Corum has +3000 odds and Buckeyes running back TreVeyon Henderson has +3000 odds to win the Heisman.

Harrison has the best odds of any-non quarterback. Corum and Henderson are tied for the best odds among running backs.
