UPDATE 11 A.M. ET SATURDAY: An hour before kickoff, Michigan is down to -18.5 in BetMGM's college football odds Week 12 market. That's after the Wolverines opened -20.5 and spent pretty much all week at -19.5 before the dip to -18.5 this morning.

Still, tickets and money are running 2/1-plus on Michigan.

"We'll need Maryland +19.5 big," BetMGM trader Seamus Magee said.

The total initially ticked up from 50.5 to 51, but then made its way down to 49.5. It's now at 50.5 again, with 58% of tickets on the Over/55% of money on the Under.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET THURSDAY: The Wolverines hit PointsBet's college football odds Week 12 market as 19.5-point favorites. Michigan moved to -19 Monday morning and hasn't moved off that since, save for a brief Tuesday juice adjustment to -19 (-115).

Early spread tickets are running 4/1 and early spread money beyond 9/1 on the big favorite.

The total opened at 51.5 (Under -115) and dropped to 49.5 by Wednesday evening, with multiple stops along the way Monday/Tuesday.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Michigan (10-0 SU/5-4-1 ATS) didn't have coach Jim Harbaugh on the sidelines against Penn State. It might have mattered a little, but the Wolverines used a ground-and-pound game and defense to claim a 24-15 victory as 4.5-point road faves.

Maryland (6-4 SU/4-6 ATS) snapped an 0-4 SU and ATS slide in Week 11. The Terrapins edged Nebraska 13-10 and narrowly cashed laying 2 points on the road.

TwinSpires has already dipped a point on Michigan, moving to -20, then-19.5. The Wolverines are seeing 65% of early spread tickets, while 54% of early spread cash is on the Terrapins.

"Sharp play on Maryland +20.5," Lucas said.

The total ticked from 51 to 50.5, with 56% of tickets/64% of dollars on the Under.
