Utah/Mich game pick is too easy

**LT Profits** · 08-30-08, 07:31 AM

UTAH is a definite play for me

**max58** · 08-30-08, 07:33 AM

wow - how so

**gummo** · 08-30-08, 07:33 AM

I am on Utah also.

**I LUV (.) (.)** · 08-30-08, 07:36 AM

hasnt mich lost alot of players last year

**max58** · 08-30-08, 07:42 AM

gummo you would no about the bra - sorry not me

mich reloads with good players

**VegasDave** · 08-30-08, 07:51 AM

Utah returns the bulk of an extremely talented, physical, and underrated bunch in '07 that has a knack for playing extremely well in situations where they are considered underdogs. This team has a world of pride and has the talent to compete with any 2nd or 3rd tier team.

Michigan has a new coach, new players where leaders on and off the field used to be, asking them to gel and be perfect together overnight isn't fair.

This is a textbook example of the spread being off due to name recognition. So much prestige surrounds the Wolverines that they are overrated, and the "Who???" Utes are actually arguably the better team with more experience.

Wouldn't make the mistake of underestimating the Utes if I were you.

**max58** · 08-30-08, 07:55 AM

you make a good piont 31 - but it will be in vain against Mich

**VegasDave** · 08-30-08, 07:59 AM

You may be right highway... but I'd call this game a coinflip at best. Michigan isn't a terrible bet, but certainly nowhere close to TOO EASY. On the contrary, if this game were a best of 7 series, I say it'd go to game 6 or 7. Since it could go either way, I love the +145. GL to you (already made my big score Friday night only have a few bucks on Utah)... but if this hits, I wouldn't brag, just be happy the flip went your way this time

**max58** · 08-30-08, 08:02 AM

cool 31 - i just cant lay money on utah- mich at home

**LT Profits** · 08-30-08, 08:03 AM

Utah has much more experience, they are underrated to begin with, and this this is a huge game for the Utes program from a respect standpoint.

Yes Michigan reloads well, but it may take a game or two for all the new faces to get in synch.

**VegasDave** · 08-30-08, 08:05 AM

LT, I was actually considering putting a few more bucks on them, but 5 Dimes so no dice this morning

**chipper13101** · 08-30-08, 08:25 AM

propbet.com is back up guys.

MI has won 16 of the last 18 home openers, including a win in '02 over today's foe. The Utes are 2-6 in their last eight road openers. Experience on offense favors Utah but MI has the defensive experience. MI should get the win today but look towards the total for your action.

**Jroc85** · 08-30-08, 09:17 AM

MI!!!!!

**CaneDawg** · 08-30-08, 09:20 AM

Look for michigan's defense to force a few turnovers including one for a score.

It WILL be close but Michigan will cover.

Do Utah get the caliber recruits Michigan gets? How many players thats on Utah roster been offered by Michigan? Some of you guys don't understand football! This game is a no play for me! But if I would bet I would slam Michigan!!!!

**LT Profits** · 08-30-08, 09:32 AM

Recruiting is neutralized here by the fact that Utah returns so many starters. I think you are underestimating Utah and overestimating the Big Ten here ZBOIZ.

**ZBOIZ** · 08-30-08, 09:41 AM

Well I do know that the BIG 10 is overrated but this is one of those games that people need to watch real close!

**FadeThePublic** · 08-30-08, 09:45 AM

Most of the touts are on Utah so michigan is an easy play. Too many people caught up in the app state opener last year as well as a young offense under a new coach. Michigan wins by at least 4 points at the big house.

**gummo** · 08-30-08, 09:52 AM

Utah is going to have a big year.

**CaneDawg** · 08-30-08, 03:57 PM

I think I missed this one.

Utah is clearly the better team.

Need some luck.

**crackerjack** · 08-30-08, 04:28 PM

Fvck Michigan. I will never bet on Michigan again...

**Dashwood Clipper** · 08-30-08, 04:35 PM

I took Michigan. Second half I have Utah ML(EVEN).

**ipickwinners** · 08-30-08, 04:35 PM

lol stupid

**Clueless_Norway** · 08-30-08, 04:57 PM

All Utah in this one

**BestPlay2day** · 08-30-08, 05:00 PM

That 53 yard FG by Utah would of been good from 60+ yards. Unbelievable kick! 25-10 Utah 7:23 left in the 3rd.

**LT Profits** · 08-30-08, 05:40 PM

FadeThePublic,

Utah is a LOT better than App State was last year, this pick has nothing to do with App State and everything to do wirh a veteran team looking for respect vs. a transitioning team.

**Illusion** · 08-30-08, 05:53 PM

It's hard to believe Michigan is even in this game. They are now driving for the lead...amazing.

**VegasDave** · 08-30-08, 06:15 PM

Congrats Utah backers we earned it

**MartinBlank** · 08-30-08, 06:22 PM

I don't see how anyone could have played Michigan.

The lost Henne, Hart, Arrington and Manningham. Boren transferred to Ohio State. Jake Long went to the NFL.

And Rodriguez is bringing in a new system.

On the other side, Utah is a good team, who returned nearly everyone.

This was a no-brainer.

I had it on my blog posted on last Monday, and loved the money line.

**MJFtheGenius** · 08-31-08, 12:55 AM

lol guy

**treece** · 08-31-08, 01:57 AM

I hope rodriguez loses every game this year.
