I Love MICHIGAN today

Fishhead · 10-16-10, 07:07 AM

I can't recall seeing an underdog of more than 3 pts having so much of the public thinking they will win the game outright easily.

JOHN Q. PUBLIC is all over Iowa in this game, you're 100% correct.

jjgold · 10-16-10, 07:14 AM

Iowa is well coached

They could out smart Michigan

dmtrader · 10-16-10, 07:33 AM

I still think you have to go with Iowa.

Their defense will contain Robinson, probably come up with a INT late in the 4th qtr when it counts

I was just taking a crap thinking about this thread and it hit me "WTF AM I THINKING"..........IOWA is the favorite.

jjgold · 10-16-10, 08:13 AM

I took Mich

Home team, dangerous QB who played bad last week

Unchained · 10-16-10, 08:25 AM

Interesting thoughts on this game. Good luck on your wagers...............................

Michigan has NO DEFENSE guys. C'mon, this one is easy. Big house or no big house. Iowa will gash them. Michigan will score, but not enough.

Totally agree here. And stay away from WI. Ohio State is in a league of their own, IMO.

Fish... chances are high he throws a pick if they are down double digits.

It will be interesting to see if Michigans key players SPEED hurts the Iowa D.

Thats why they play em between the hash marks. Iowa has that Pittsburgh Steeler demeanor about them.

Tough as nails

Iowa is better on both sides of the ball..............however, that doesn't always translate into a W.

wabe the over is the better play here

Iowa had 2 weeks to prep for Denard and company and has a successful blueprint on how to stop him courtesy of Mich St last week. Assuming Iowa can read blueprints, they should win this game.

Tough spot for Michigan coming off their in-state Rivalry loss to Mich St. Not sure where their heads will be at against an extremely tough defense. Also, the Michigan defense is bad.

Not to mention being better up front than the MSU D.

Iowa -3 is the play. To me, this line reflects Michigan's record rather than the talent/skill disparity. Iowa's still below the radar (in most places other than here in SBR thanks to Fish) because of the Zona loss. Where's this line if Iowa doesn't shit down it's leg in the 1Q at Zona? Where's this line if Mich lost to ND or Umass? 7? 8?

Michigan's one year away from being WV west (got to tighten up that defense a bit, or at least not be a sieve). In the meantime, I'm on Iowa today.

Fishhead · 10-16-10, 09:32 AM

BINNS...KLUG...DANIELS...BALLARD...CLAYB ORN

This is one helluva DL for the Hawkeyes.....with one and possibly two or three first rounders in the bunch.

manicart · 10-16-10, 09:40 AM

Why do you LOVE Michigan today? on what basis?
MSU shut down their one player last week
why cant IOWA?

Sorry im against you here.
I got IOWA -2.5

GL though

Seattle Slew · 10-16-10, 09:56 AM

Like Michigan outright in this spot. Iowa is not that good. If Penn State didn't screw up two weeks ago, that would have been a 3-point game. And Penn State sucks.

DESMOND just made a very good point.......

MSU is much more of a scheming defense than Iowa..........and their linebackers and DBACKS are much more active.

IOWA traditionally has problems with QB's that scramble out of the pocket.

This game is not as easy as it looks on paper for IOWA

This is why gambling is great. I can't imagine how anyone could see the Penn St. game as anything other than a defensive dominating performance by the Iowa D. Out of curiosity, what part of that game did you see as the Penn St. screw up?

Iowa has the top defense in the country...they're not that good?

Giving up 10.2 points per game and has held 4 of their 5 opponents to 7 points or less. If Iowa defense sells out to stop "Shoelace" can he beat them through the air? That's the question....and I don't think he can.
