That seems about right. Bad weather, a game before The Game, and I recall earlier this year there was a thing about Nebraska disease in which Nebraska's opponent the following week not only played poorly but outright lost. I don't see us outright losing but not covering seems about right in this situation.

Nebraska thing is a hoax. It was the starting QBs curse, and it goes back to when he played for Texas. He was injured and didn’t play against us, thus…no worries about a curse. If Michigan loses, it’s because of other reasons.

M 37-0. Last game had shutout written all over it. So does this one. Hot take: We finally get a KO or PR TD. Corum has a "ho-hum" 20/140/2 line with one 40+ run.
November 18th, 2022 at 1:55 PM ^
Hunter Dickinson thinks we win by 20

31-6.
What uniform is UM wearing? My guess is traditional blue jersey/maize pants
November 18th, 2022 at 2:04 PM ^
It will be cold. Take that.

24-10: Some respect for the IL defense plus wind gusts to 30 mph during the game and temps 25-30. Harbaugh will keep it mostly on the ground and not show Ohio State much.
Corum will get 100-130 yds and Edwards not far behind. JJ throws for no more than 150 yds. One FG from Moody.
Hopefully the game will end by 3:30 even with all of the media timeouts.
November 18th, 2022 at 2:16 PM ^
I doubt we will see Edwards, Kegan, or Morris (maybe limited snaps) tomorrow. Let them rest and get healthy for Ohio State.
November 18th, 2022 at 2:18 PM ^
31 - 13 Michigan. I predict another snooze fest. Harbaugh take the offense into the proverbial submarine before emerging at The Game
November 18th, 2022 at 2:21 PM ^
24-6.
Pass TDs to Loveland and Wilson.
200 total yards for McCarthy
Rush TD by Corum.
Moody hits from 42.

31-13
Going with the mirror theme in the main-page preview. Palindromes all the way.
November 18th, 2022 at 2:28 PM ^
Feeling a 31-10 M win.
November 18th, 2022 at 2:28 PM ^
I think Illinois defense is great in the same way Penn State had the #5 run defense. They might be pretty good, but they will not be good enough
Michigan 37-12
November 18th, 2022 at 2:29 PM ^
25 - 9 for Meeechigan
November 18th, 2022 at 2:34 PM ^
Expect an ugly rock fight. Death by 1,000 (paper)cuts wins out.
Michigan - 24
Illinois - 13

November 18th, 2022 at 2:42 PM ^
I'm guessing 30-6. Corum breaks one for 50+.

Two free tickets in Section 18 row 19 to the Illinois game if you're willing to bear the cold and make some noise!

Same formula, different week.
Start a little slower, particularly against a good defense that knows its back is against the wall if it wants to make it to Indy, but the proverbial floodgates come open a bit in the second half when Illinois's defense just can't get off the field.
I'm going to say 17-7 Michigan at the half, and then 34-13 to end the day. Michigan will give up its one drive a game that allots for some big plays by Illinois, but otherwise they hold the opposition largely in check. I think Harbaugh is going to save everything he possibly can for next week, so if its an extremely vanilla gameplan where JJ only throws 15-20 times for 150-200 yards, we shouldn't be shocked. With not so great weather in tow, I can't imagine Harbaugh is going to want to take too many chances with airing it out. Stick to what got you here, play it safe with the best RB in the country at your disposal, and don't give OSU a lick of anything to work with.
Corum, 22 carries for 165 and two scores. Edwards will play, but my guess is he'll be on a snap count to make sure he's ready to go next weekend, so his stats will be limited, methinks. Which means that I do think we'll see a lot more of Stokes in the second half tomorrow. He will start showing that he can be a great understudy with Edwards next Fall.

33-17 good guys in a relatively underwhelming performance and a lot of backups in
November 18th, 2022 at 2:58 PM ^
JJ throws for 250+ & 3 TD's.
We win the game
November 18th, 2022 at 3:13 PM ^

Corum > 150 Yards, Brown < 75 Yards.

27-10. Old school bore fest given the weather. I’ll be fine with those results.
November 19th, 2022 at 10:16 AM ^
20-13 UM. It’s cold and windy. I have a hard time believing JH will have many 20+yd throws dialed up. Also, think there will be some missed field goals, maybe two for us and 1 for them. All coming from 35+ away. Will make the game look close.
