Notre Dame/Michigan thoughts?

I meant last game at the big house.
There are points to be made on both sides.
however, Michigan has not lost at home in 2 years under Brady hoke....

Okay, I'm all for someone giving me a side in a big game.

So, break it down for me, where does Michigan have an advantage that gives you so much confidence?

DL- Advantage ND (Tuitt and Nix are NFL 1st rounders).
LB- Advantage Michigan
DB- Tie

WR-Advantage ND
OL- Advantage Michigan
RB- Advantage ND
QB-Tie.

I don't see anywhere where Michigan has that large of an advantage.

Come on, sell me. If I am missing something, I want that side.

Well, to be fair, I talk a big game, but it's not as if I've actually bet UM at this point.... Hoping price improves closer to gametime.

QB is the spot where i would disagree with you. I have a much higher opinion of Gardner than Rees, and a much higher opinion of UM's offense than ND's. I am definitely concerned about ND's defensive line, which I figure to be their biggest advantage, but I think that Gardner's mobility will help minimize that. I also think a lot of Hoke as a coach (though Kelly isn't a bad coach by any stretch). I expect UM to win 3rd downs in a big way on both sides of the ball, and I expect ND to struggle with Gardner's mobility. UM also can feel a lot more confidence in their kicking game than ND. I just don't see ND scoring much, and I see UM being able to get what they need. Something like 27-13/24-14/27-10. UM hasn't lost at home under Hoke and I just don't see this ND team changing that. BOL whatever you decide.
