Why is Michigan favored?

[Albert Pujols]

Is it their shut down defense? Maybe Brock can chime in. He is a Big 10 expert or something.

[Brock Landers]

certainly know more than you about the big ten.

Michigan is favored on reputation on the perception of their QB being great. Thats all.

[Deuce]

Shit team. Take illini ML NOW!

Why do you think he is broke??

[Ch3fDan]

Homefield advantage goes a long way in college football. Both teams are 5-3, and Michigan has a Heisman caliber QB. I'm not saying we are the better team but it makes sense to me that they are favored.

I'd like them more as a dog though.

[WvGambler]

Michigan wins by 10

[The Bet Master]

It'll be interesting to see if the Illini can shut down Robinsons run game. I'm just not sure they have the athletes to do so.

As with most UM games this year, I think the over is the play here.

very sharp

RichRod is 3-17 ATS as the head coach of Michigan after the month of September. Something to consider.

They don't call him Broke Lenders for nothing.

Illinois +3 is the right side in this game. Have no idea if it's a winner though. That will depend on how it plays out on that particular day.

Illinois is a better bet. They are only giving up 16 ppg and you gotta figure a large part of their gameplan will be to control the time of possession.

He needs to go.

[Deuce]

He needs to go.

No

He needs to be demoted to offensive coordinator. Team is top 5 in offense in the country. With a solid D coordinator and a decent head coach, all is possible. They would be much like Oregon.

I understand the way you think but do you honestly think DickRod is going to want to be an O Coordinator? It's just not going to happen.

[kmarinouofm]

small stab at michigan money line.. i think 3 is exactly right.. over also a possibility..

Michigan is the right side to be favored in this game..

Coach Dick Rod is probably going to finally stop his loosing streak ..

Robinson matches up very well against the Ill D..

this isn't a serious play.. at least not yet.. This is a homer bet.. Much better games to score on saturday..

you don't know Brock like the rest of us old timers...I respect his inputs and opinions...just ask JJ and Pavy or LT...they'll say the same I'm sure...I made a large chunk of cash of his Georgia Tech. Play years ago...best call ever...

[Deuce]

Of course not. His offense is potent though and very hard to stop. Denard is the best spread QB in the country. If you dismantle now, we're doomed for another 5+ years.

That is a hilarious post.

LOLOLOLOL....though we have destroyed michigan the last 2 games??? and last time up in ann arbor, who is a whore, we dropped like 40+ and juice set school records and most yardage record in the big house at the time....

michigan is simply gettin the arbitrary 3 that all home teams get, so even better they have this game as a pick em.

our O is clicking w petrino finally letting my boy scheelhaase start to air it out a bit more, as he's shown in the past few weeks and we have seen him show great maturity in his decision making and when to tuck and run and when to simply avoid problems and throw it away....as was also the case the last few weeks, leshoure will be the focus of richrod to stop and thus scheelhaase will be forced to win this game by using the arm and the legs, which i think with a little pistol setup and some triple option that we take WIDE to the edges, we can control the ground....i have no worries with the D being able to handle denard robinson, simply put martez on a spy all game and tell him to DESTROY the non-shoe lace tying QB EVERYTIME he tucks it and tries to run.....

this is a MONSTER game for the illini if we wana finish up strong with atleast 8 wins and make the top 5 of the big ten...

i LOOOVE ILLINI +3, but given the royal kiss of death brock landers is LOVING EM and has posted in several locations its the PLAY OF THE WEEK i question it...in addition, every **** and their mommy thinks this is too easy this week and will tag along, THUS scaring me some more.....

with that said, i will play ILLINI +3 all day but for not as much as i had originally anticipated when i first saw the line and before the play was partially mushed, BUT will still predict the following though i have a feeling this is gonna be a WILD WEST SHOOTOUT and come down to the last few drives....

ILLINI 38-27

[kmarinouofm]

guys forgive my HOmie Frozen Man.. he loves using Colored Fonts.. It makes him feel better about his bets..


lol.. just kidding bro

[goblue12]

64% on the Illini and the line moves from Michigan (who I initially believed was ridiculously too high) -3 to -3.5 at Pinnacle.

Well ... at least my Penn State ticket cashed.

Gambling was more fun when I was a square.

[No coincidences]

I wouldn't sleep on Illinois' D. Don't assume the over is a great play.

[dmtrader]

I like - but I don't love - Illinois and the points

that's how we roll dude on GAMEDAY

[Brock Landers]

Illinois wins outright, this is a Dog ML play

[fballfan]

They way I see it is Michigan will most likely lose 3 of their last 4 games. Then Rich Rod will get fired and Harbaugh will get hired. Michigan playing Harbaugh's brand of football will be very, very good. Harbaugh took a Stanford team that was terrible and turned them into a winner. Michigan + Harbaugh = Top Five Program.

Illinois played with Ohio St and if you saw that game they had a chance to win it. Illinois also crushed Penn St a few weeks ago. For the life of me I cannot figure out how Michigan is favored. Maybe this is a set up and I will look like a fool but Illinois and the money line is the play IMO.

[KingJIM]

Same records for both teams but Michigan loses three straight and Illinois is playing their best football of the year. Is this a Trap???

[FrozenMAN]

it's a major trap now that every tard and their mammie are talking about us....NOT A FAN!

[flyingillini]

Illini all the way! What a finale we put on tonight in hoops! Luther Head's little brother is going to be dunking on everyone this year!

[The Bet Master]

Michigan will be starting a Freshman corner now, with J.T. Floyd out for the year. A weak defense just got weaker. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/footbal...michigan-floyd
