Night Football Game at Michigan Attracts Sports Betting Attention. Sports betting on college football will feature the first night game in the history of Michigan Stadium on September 10th as the Wolverines host Notre Dame. The game will get a lot of attention in Internet sports betting and will be televised by either ESPN or ESPN 2.
Sports betting college football action is always popular on Notre Dame so this game against Michigan should be exciting. The game will start at 8 pm Eastern and that will make it the first night game ever at Michigan. “This will be an unprecedented game day atmosphere that our fans have not experienced at Michigan Stadium,” Michigan athletic direction David Brandon said, “It’s a great opportunity to showcase our program, university and Ann Arbor to a primetime viewing audience. This also adds a new chapter to the storied rivalry between our two great programs.”
The previous administration at Michigan didn’t want night games but Brandon is the new athletic direction and head coach Rich Rodriguez is all for a night game. “Our players have always enjoyed playing night games and I think it’s something that our fans will truly enjoy and embrace,” Rodriguez said, “I expect the atmosphere will be electric for this match-up at the Big House.”
This will not be the first time that Michigan and Notre Dame have played at night but it will be the first time they have done so at Michigan. The teams met three teams previously at Notre Dame at night, the last time in 1990. Michigan has done pretty well in prime time games in the past as they have a record of 22-11. The Wolverines are expected to be improved this season and they could be a popular sports betting choice in this game even against a marquee team like Notre Dame. The game should be an exciting one and a great matchup early in the season.
The game between Michigan and Notre Dame will be an important one for both teams since the Wolverines will be expected to be improved this season while Notre Dame starts a new era of football with Brian Kelly as head coach. A lot will be expected out of Notre Dame this season in Internet sports betting so they will want to get off to a good start. Winning at Michigan in a night game would be a great way to begin.
