Except that PSU losing to Michigan will never be considered an 'embarassing' loss. I mean, we beat them by 39 last year and the narrative was about how many defensive players they had lost prior to the game, rather then how Michigan abused FG Franklin.

I don't know. We are due for a round of competency on offense, and I feel good about our defense against PSU's one dimentional attack. I think it will be close.
October 15th, 2017 at 5:48 PM ^
Gambler's fallacy. Just because we haven't had a good showing on offense does not mean we will have a good showing. We threw for 58 yards against Indiana. What makes you think we can move the ball at night against Penn State?

Former Michigan QB?

Denny Franklin!! One of my first memories of Michigan football was QB'd by Denny!!!

a la 1974 in this game.

we have ZERO chance

Those people were both right and wrong at the same time.
October 15th, 2017 at 7:20 PM ^
THis fanbase is doing everything it can to prove "the backup QB is the most popular guy on the team" is indeed an axiom. Granted, we have a really....uhhh...interesting situation, but let's not break other people on the roster just because the guy ahead ofhim isn't quite doing what anyone - probably the staff included - would rather he did.

I feel our D is just plain better than their O.
Been watching PSU this season. I just don't see them as a stellar team. Good .. but I just feel our D will keep us in this and it will be close. If we can get 17 points .. we win. I don't care if it's sloppy ... I just want the W. Would be a big win now that they are #2.

If you don't get open because you never actually had to run a route in high school, you won't get to catch many passes... But he's been getting more involved the last couple of weeks. He'll be fine. At some point, JOK (or whoever) is going to drop one of those bombs onto his numbers for 6, and the defense will suddenly loosen up the box.

those line setters know what they are doing.

October 15th, 2017 at 6:02 PM ^
I'm saying it's scary because I can completely envision a game where we kick a field goal on the opening drive, kick another one after a turnover, and lose 17-6. On the other hand, maybe the scripted 1st drive results in a touchdown, and we never force that turnover but lose 17-7.
October 15th, 2017 at 7:12 PM ^
that is not how the lines are set. Vegas rarely gets even action, especially on regional college football games. Lines are set based on advanced statistics, they move based on money wagered.
October 16th, 2017 at 9:23 AM ^
Notwithstanding this comment. Even if, "they don’t make the line based on what they think the final score will be. The oddsmakers create a line that they believe will draw even action on both sides." was true. That essentially means the oddsmakers create a line that they believe the consensus of bettors will see as fair. Not sure there is a big difference between:
- oddsmakers setting the line based on what they think the final score will be
And
- oddsmakers setting the line based on what they think "the wisdom of the crowd" thinks the final score will be
and
- oddsmakers set the line using advanced stats

Unless we are playing MSU, then they get it wrong every single year somehow... Why does anybody bother betting on other games? I'm actually curious about that. I think betting Sparty to cover might be my new retirement plan.
As for this spread, I think it is close to correct? I dunno though, I have a feeling about this one for some reason. We win a close one. That my call and I'm sticking to it.

You're lucky you got -5. The line was -7.5 just before game time. Glad I stayed away from that dong punch.

Usually (not always) it is a scenario like this:
line: Michigan -7.5 (-110)
Michigan -7 (-120)
Michigan -6.5 (-130)
Michigan -6 (-140)
The number in parentheses represents the amount of money you have to wager to win $100.
October 15th, 2017 at 7:28 PM ^
I actually found it at -4.5 and bought the points to -3. I then bought Indiana at halftime and ended up covering both bets, which was a nice day. I also took O'Korn under 235 passing and Isaac under 75 rushing. Those were gimmie's based on this blog.
