    Michigan vs. Indiana

    Here is an interesting match up between two unbeaten teams in the Big Ten Opener. Even though it is rare to see Indiana at 3-0 it really isn't surprising because they have been huge favorites in each of those games. Indiana has played Towson, Western Kentucky, and Akron. None of these institutions are in BCS conferences and as a result they don't have team speed like the Wolverines do. The most important factor in winning in college football is having more team speed than your opponent and the Wolverines with Denard Robinson and Vince Smith from Florida in the backfield, each with 4.3 speed, it will be tough for Indiana to stop them. Also Indiana's run defense gave up 160 rushing yards to Akron last week, and if they couldn't halt the Zips attack they will not be able to stop the Wolverines number one ranked rushing offense, which is averaging over 330 yards per game. Indiana is also 1-4 against the spread in their last 5 home games against the Wolverines and they have lost 35 of the last 36 times these teams have played each other. With this surprisingly fast shrinking line I like Michigan to light up the scoreboard again and win this one.
    Michigan -9.5

            Michigan is playing pretty good football and with that heisman candidate qb they should win by two touchdowns

              Take the other team.

              That line has free fallen from 14 to 10 with only 26% of the action on Indiana.

                  How do you guys feel about the total. It's down do 65.5 and I'm thinking these teams score into the 80's.

                        Indiana isn't bowling green...michigan's D is suspect....the fact that the total is around 65 tells us it should be a high scoring game which means both teams will put up some points.. we could see a 35-28 score and it would give the cover to indiana...add the fact that there was big RLM in this spread... indiana is the right side, although it is best probably to tease it now because indiana might have lost its value if you didn't catch it around 13 or at least 10.5

                            I don't know if Michigan has seen a full-on pistol offense before. Just ask Texas if that makes a difference. This will be a test for Michigan's defense, especially the outside linebackers and defensive ends. Indiana could put some points on the board. Myself, I sorta like Indiana +10.

                                I see this happen all the time with teams. You have to look at who Indiana has played and under what circumstances they are playing these games. Indiana has played no one this year. Unfortunately they are playing against one of the most explosive offensive players in the country this year. Yes I know everyone that I am talking to is saying doesnt the Mich vs Mass game scare you a little. i would agree that game was a bit of a surprise but again look at the circumstances, right after a huge win, they were due for a let down.You see what that scare did to them. they came back the next week and destroyed a bowling green that i put at the same level as Indiana. Yes Indiana has a good offense. but you have to caliber there results to there competition. This is the season opener for conference play, every game is being scrutinized by boosters and fans, rodriguez job, in some corners, is on the line, the Mass game was a wake up call. Michigan will take care of business in Indiana.
                                Michigan 42 Indiana 27.

                                  I believed in Indiana last year when they went to UVA and then in turn got BLOWN OUT......

                                  Fool me once shame on me...

                                  Michigan in a ROMP.

                                    As a Michigan alum I have watched every game this year and follow this squad pretty close. In my opinion this is gonna be a shootout and it is gonna be pretty close. Michigan's secondary is absolutely atrocious and Indiana's passing attack is actually pretty competent. The initial line that came out -14 I would have jumped all over Indiana in a heartbeat and that was completely flawed. I personally ain't touching this game at -10 and still would take Indiana with a gun to my head. I think Michigan wins this game but in an extremely close shootout. Yes folks Michigan's secondary is seriously that bad.

                                    Michigan 45
                                    Indiana 41

                                        I see a shootout like most people in this thread. Michigan by 1 score in the end.

                                        One thing of note should be that Michigan has no field goal kicker yet. I believe they have been trying out two the whole season with neither having any success. They even have gone as far as looking at the whole student body through walk-on tryouts. This could be a factor with the spread being around a touchdown and field goal.

                                                the guy named Michigan is betting michigan as a 10 pt road fav, what a shocker. Michigan was outgained by Notre Dame and Umass, they could easily be 2-2. Indiana will pass all day and Michigan will run all day, take the points in this one.

                                                              Michigan can put in any of their 3 qbs and they will be a powerhouse on offense. Tate started every game last year and the rookie Gardner has showed flashes as a true freshman.

                                                              Here is what Indiana has given up in rushing yards to their cupcakes.
                                                              Towson 227 WKU 155 Akron 168
                                                              Akron managed 55 yards against Syracuse, Towson 87 against Columbia.

                                                              Here are those cupcakes performances ytd
                                                              Towson is a 1-3 I-AA team with a single 5OT win over Coastal Carolina. They just lost to an Ivy League team by two touchdowns.
                                                              Western Kentucky is 0-16 in its second year in I-A and lost 63-28 to Kentucky.
                                                              Akron is 0-4 after losing to 2-2 I-AA school Gardner-Webb and 47-10 to Kentucky.

                                                              Michigan's suspect defense (especially secondary) is the only problem that could keep Indiana in the game.

                                                                      One thing of note should be that Michigan has no field goal kicker yet. I believe they have been trying out two the whole season with neither having any success. They even have gone as far as looking at the whole student body through walk-on tryouts. This could be a factor with the spread being around a touchdown and field goal.
