College Hockey National Championship odds have the Michigan State Spartans and Michigan Wolverines as co-favorites at +450. Both are top teams in a stacked Big Ten Conference with only three regulation losses apiece.
The Wolverines get my nod of confidence over their state rivals due to better offense and defense. Michigan has scored an insane 116 goals - no other team in the league has more than 105 - and has only allowed 50 goals (2.08 per game). They've been dominant on both sides of the ice, and that should easily translate into a championship later this year.

*The numbers in parentheses represent the total number of championships.
As you can tell, the NCAA national championship has been dominated by the NCHC and Hockey East conferences. The NCHC has won seven of the last ten championships.
But, how about Denver?! Ten championships are incredible, and three of the last 10 are as dominant as it gets.

Denver jumped to the top of the championship lists with titles in 2022 and then in 2022, overtaking Michigan that's been sitting with nine titles since 1998!
Their consistent winning is more impressive considering Denver has only had two Hobey Baker winners in programs history.
