Western Michigan Broncos Odds

Western Michigan Broncos Football 2024

The Western Michigan Broncos have posted back-to-back losing seasons in 2022 and 2023 after not tallying a losing season since 2013. Western Michigan returns its starting quarterback and running back from 2023, but will it be enough to lead the Broncos to a winning season in 2024?

Here's how you can bet on Western Michigan this season, and some key things to know.

Betting on the Western Michigan Broncos

Western Michigan Point Spreads

Point spreads are a popular bet one can make on either team in a college football game and are based on the margin of victory for the winning team.

A Western Michigan spread might look like this:

• Western Michigan +3.5 (-110)
• Bowling Green -3.5 (-110)

A 31-28 loss for Western Michigan is still a win for spread bettors since the three-point margin of defeat is less than the 3.5-point spread. Spread tickets on the Broncos would cash with any loss of three or fewer points, or an outright win.

Western Michigan Over/Unders

Over/unders, or totals, are bets on the number of points scored in the game. Western Michigan was 7-5 to the Over in the regular season in 2023.

Western Michigan Moneylines

While spread bets depend on the amount of the victory, moneyline bets are a bit simpler, as all that matters is which team wins. Let's look at an example:

• Western Michigan -160
• Toledo +180

The minus (-) and plus (+) signs distinguish the favorite from the underdog, making Western Michigan the favorite in this scenario. Odds can be understood more clearly if you think in terms of $100 increments. A wager on the Broncos odds would mean every $160 bet nets $100. And it's the opposite for underdogs: Here, the Toledo moneyline was set at +180, meaning a $100 wager would profit $180.

Moneylines are also commonly used when making parlays, which are multiple bets tied into one. Let’s say you bet on Western Michigan's moneyline and the Over, both bets would need to win for that parlay to be successful. The risk may be greater, but so is the reward with increased odds.

Western Michigan Props

Player props are bets on how much of a specific statistic a player will accumulate.

For example, you could bet on how many touchdown passes QB Hayden Wolff will throw in a game or bet over or under on RB Jalen Buckley's rushing yards. Many skill position players (and some defenders) will have a variety of props available to bet each game.

Western Michigan Futures

Futures are somewhat similar to prop bets in the way both are monitored over the course of a season. However, most future bets are focused on end of season success. Examples of futures are:

• Western Michigan Broncos odds to win the MAC
• Western Michigan Broncos odds to reach the College Football Playoff

If you think the Broncos can win the MAC championship this season, this is the bet to make. These types of bets are called futures, and they're just wagers on things that settle at the end of the year. For a full list of college football futures, click or tap here.
