How many points is Minnesota giving?

I like them straight up. Offensive line is better without Faawhateverhisface is. Their backup/fill in C/G was one of the highest rated OL in the country last year and they dominated a STACKED Auburn line. Top 5 QB, top 5 WR, high end RB, some good supplimentals. They lost a ton of experience on D, but they are getting more athletic replacements on the edge. I think MN is a top 15ish team. Top 10 or better if they have a pass rush from their front 4. Tanner Morgan is a mfker.

Win 34-27. Ibrahim goes for 150. Don't forget, homey was like a 1200 yard guy as a freshman and clearly the best back in terms of talent. That's an NFL guy. 210, runs hard, jump cuts like he goes to sleep watching Adrian Peterson highlights and can push the edge of an SEC defense continuously.

What's your game?

Sure, although why don't you give yourself 10 points...I did say double digits.

If you want to do 10 points, that is fine, but if MI wins by 10 that would be a push.

Thats not a big deal to me, because Michigan is going to win by more than that anyway. :hope:

You mean the #21 ranked team in the country, coming off an 11-2 record and a win against #12 Auburn in a bowl game last year, and they are at home?

Yeah, Michigan should probably send out the second string against these scrubs.
Just listened to Phil Steele interview where he discussed Minnesota, thinks last year was a fluke. They barely beat some really easy teams in their OOC and lucked into several games where they were playing the other team's backup qb during the B1G season.

I'd like to smack PJ Fleck in the head with one of those oars he uses to row the boat.

That said, GO GOPHERS!!!

:heh:

Yeah, we'll see. Aside from my usual jinxing of Michigan football, I do think Michigan wins. Traditionally Michigan scores a lot of points on Minnesota (I think they have averaged beating them by nearly 3 TD's over the past 10+ games...although I can remember Michigan losing at least two of those games), so I'm leaning into tradition. The bad part is that this isn't your typical Minnesota team any more. So I'm likely grossly underestimating them. Fleck is a legit coach, and it's been a while since they've had someone as good as him calling the shots.

I think Vegas has Michigan as a 2 point favorite, so I imagine not many people think this won't be a tight game.

It's game day....I just want to let everyone know that I may look a little different starting next week. I made a little avatar bet with @PnkPanther

I shouldn't have any problems though, because every time I predict a Michigan win it happens sometimes.

@PnkPanther You need to lose today. I will support the Gophers this winter for wrestling season if it happens. You can win the rest of your games if you beat OSU in the B1G title game.

That B10 championship game isn't going to happen though. Michigan and Ohio State are on the same side of the conference, so that eliminates Ohio State from the championship game.

Does Minnesota's kicker have a cast on his kicking leg or something? What's with the squib kicks?
