Jim Harbaugh will be leading his Michigan Wolverines in the College Football Playoff championship game on Monday night as his team takes on the Washington Huskies with a national title on the line. But based on some recent betting odds, it looks like there’s a chance this could be the final game Harbaugh coaches for the Wolverines.
In a pretty shocking turn of events, the latest odds at sportsbetting.ag suggest that Jim Harbaugh is most likely to be coaching in the NFL next season instead of returning for another year with the Michigan Wolverines. The latest odds list Harbaugh going to the NFL at -180 and Harbaugh returning to Michigan at +140.
These odds imply that there is about a 64 percent chance that Harbaugh decides to leave Michigan and vault to the NFL.
There are expected to be several NFL job openings this offseason and Harbaugh is expected to be a top candidate for most of them. It remains to be seen whether or not he’d choose those jobs over remaining at Michigan, but these odds seem to suggest that he would.
While everyone seems to be locked in on Harbaugh’s decision about his future, the first step is Monday night’s College Football Playoff title game. We’ll have to see how Harbaugh and the Wolverines perform in that game before anything else happens.
