Washington at Michigan odds: Opening point spread revealed

A battle between two young, Big Ten quarterbacks awaits in Week 8. Washington will make the trip to Michigan, and the opening point spread has been revealed.

The Wolverines opened as 6.5-point favorites against the Huskies, according to BetMGM. The over-under also opened at 50.5.

Both Demond Williams and Bryce Underwood have been impressive so far in 2025, and they’ll square off for the first time at The Big House. It will also get the Big Noon Saturday treatment on FOX.

In a conference that features multiple young quarterbacks, Williams and Underwood are two that stand out. Both first-year starters, they’ve been impressive in 2025.

Underwood turned in a strong game in Week 6 against Wisconsin, throwing for 270 yards and a touchdown to help lead Michigan to the victory. The former top recruit has also shown off his rushing ability, notably with two impressive touchdowns against Central Michigan.

Williams, meanwhile, put together another monster game in a Friday night primetime game in Week 7. He not only threw for 402 yards on two touchdowns – on 21-of-27 passing – but added a team-high 136 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a victory over Rutgers.

That sets the table for the matchup in Ann Arbor as part of an exciting Week 8 slate. Of course, it’s also a rematch of the 2023 national championship, but both teams have new looks since that night in Houston.
