Bets in Las Vegas Favor U-M to Win Championship

The consensus is that the Alabama Crimson Tide will win this year's national championship in football, writes David Purdum of ESPN.

But he notes that six weeks before the college football season kicks off in full,  more bets have been placed on the Michigan Wolverines to win the national title than any other team at multiple Las Vegas sportsbooks.

The Wolverines' championship odds have moved from 15-1 to 7-1, making them the second favorites behind Alabama at the Westgate SuperBook, Purdum writes.
