vs. New Mexico, Aug. 30

Betting line: Michigan -34.5
Over/under: 51.5

Michigan will open the season as massive favorites over a New Mexico team that has a new head coach in Jason Eck and a roster that ranks 135th nationally in ESPN.com’s returning production metric.

at Oklahoma, Sept. 6

Betting line: Oklahoma -2.5
Over/under: 50.5

Vegas oddsmakers can’t decide who will be better between Michigan and Oklahoma, with this matchup essentially being a pick ’em game if it were on a neutral field. Oklahoma’s home field advantage gives the Sooners the position as a slight favorite.

The Sooners went to Washington State to grab a new offensive coordinator, Ben Arbuckle, and quarterback, John Mateer, to help revive an offense that scored only 24 points per game a season ago. There’s a lot of pressure on head coach Brent Venables heading into his fourth season, and he’ll call defensive plays this fall.

at Nebraska, Sept. 20

Betting line: Michigan -3.5
Over/under: 45.5

Nebraska made a bowl game last season for the first time since 2016, beating Boston College in the Pinstripe, 20-15. The Cornhuskers have an emerging talent at quarterback in Dylan Raiola, who was the full-time starter as a true freshman. Head coach Matt Rhule and Co. went hard after offensive line and wide receiver talent in the transfer portal, and we’ll see if it pays off.

vs. Washington, Oct. 18

Betting line: Michigan -10.5
Over/under: 47.5

Washington got its revenge for the national championship game with a 24-17 win in Seattle in 2024, and now the Wolverines will look to avenge that one at home. The Huskies are a sleeper team in the Big Ten, with tremendous talent at the skill positions on offense and a solid coaching staff all around.

Believe it or not, Michigan’s second-to-last home game before Ohio State will come October 18 against the Huskies.

at Michigan State, Oct. 25

Betting line: Michigan -8.5
Over/under: 46.5

Michigan State could be dangerous, with quarterback Aidan Chiles possessing potential and wide receiver Nick Marsh adding a dynamic element to the passing game. The overall talent on the roster is clearly a cut or two below Michigan’s, though.

Michigan has won three-straight meetings against Michigan State, including 49-0 the last time the two teams squared off in East Lansing (2023). The Wolverines won the national championship and the Spartans finished 3-9 that year, though. Last year’s game at The Big House was decided by only seven points, and this one is projected to be competitive, too.

vs. Ohio State, Nov. 29

Betting line: Ohio State -5.5
Over/under: 47.5

Michigan is gunning for its first five-game win streak against the Buckeyes since the 1920s, and the Wolverines get the arch rival at home.

Ohio State won the national championship last season — despite finishing fourth in the Big Ten and losing to U-M on its home field — and underwent a lot of change in the offseason. The Buckeyes have 11 weeks to break in a new quarterback, offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator and other fresh pieces before playing Michigan, though.
