Michigan opens as 12 pt favorite over Northwestern

[rmilia1]

This will be a good game. I have NW ranked number 1 in my poll because their results merit it but this game will be close. Michigan is,playing well but them being favored is crazy and 12 pts?? Lol.

Well, it is at home for Michigan which adds like 3-6 points in Michigan's favor to the spread.

The thing that helps us out the most though is that Northwestern hasn't scored more than 27 points this year against a Div 1 opponent and Michigan's defense is by far the best they've seen so far this year. It hopefully won't take much scoring for Michigan to win. If Michigan scores a TD and two field goals, that might be enough to hit the 12 point spread.

For sure. This game will be low scoring and close. Probably in the teens.

Michigan probably wins but Northwestern should cover.

The way northwestern's defense has been playing, give me NW and the points all day long.

nw/mich game is on the shitty big ten network while Nebraska/Wisconsin is on abc and minny/purdue is on espn . I hate games on the big ten network with a passion.

That opening Vegas line was ridiculous... it's now down to Michigan favored by 8, which is much more reasonable.

Feck Disney/ABC/ESPN.

I kinda hope Comcast/NBC wins the upcoming B1G Tier 1 TV contract. If they do win the contract.... I wonder if Comcast/NBC approaches Notre Dame with a very sweet $$$ deal with a proposition of re-working the current NBC-ND deal with the idea of having ND join the B1G (with an offer too good to refuse for all parties involved, including ACC exit penalties being paid by Comcast/NBC). Money talks!

NBC has plenty of Channels: NBC Sports, USA, MSNBC, Bravo, Syfy, etc. Besides the flagship Network (NBC), I could see NBC also broadcasting B1G games on a few of those Channels... especially NBC Sports, USA, and MSNBC.

Hmmm.

Still too high but getting closer

Georgia Tech opened as 12 point favorites last week. We saw how that turned out. This game is too risky to bet on

I hate BTN games only when they include Matt Millen. Please, tell me more about football failed Lions GM who spent 10 years picking every wrong player in the draft......

Well he did pick Calvin...... Only because Jamarcus Russell was off the board. Thank you Al Davis.

Hopefully it'll be better than last year's shitshow.

(The slowed down "Blue Moon" is just perfect.)

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

they aint scoring 12

You were right, we didn't score 12....we scored 38.

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

One touchdown by NW and no way Michigan covers.

No way, huh?

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

Northwestern will blow them out.


Go Wildcats !!!!

I don't think that went the way you wanted it to go

I love coming back on these threads and seeing how right or wrong people were in their predictions. In all honestly, I am one of the wrong ones. I thought it would be low scoring and close, but it was still a fun read.

Captain Obvious, you are now promoted to Major Obvious.
