We’re still a day away from Oklahoma State-Michigan in Round 1 from Indianapolis, and the picks keep rolling in. One interesting trend we have notices is how heavily the public is piling on Michigan to win.
First-round game with most-lopsided action @LVSuperBook: Oklahoma St-Michigan. 81 percent of bets, 94 percent of money on the Wolverines.

That’s insane in an 8-9, 7-10 or even 6-11 game. Ninety-four percent of money? Interestingly the New York Times (purveyors of fake news, I know) did a study showing that the Cowboys were one of the teams least favored by the public and most favored by experts (like Jay Bilas).
