Georgia favored by 7.5 in opening line

Personally I like going into the game as underdogs.
December 5th, 2021 at 4:20 PM ^
About the same as the OSU game.
Sounds good.
December 5th, 2021 at 4:21 PM ^
Well it’s doesn’t matter UGA was favored over Bama.
Ohio was favorite over Uof〽️ too.
Win the game. 〽️Go Blue〽️
December 5th, 2021 at 4:22 PM ^
Sounds good.... better prep like hell for the next 3.5 weeks
December 5th, 2021 at 4:25 PM ^
Good. Just the way we want it.
December 5th, 2021 at 4:25 PM ^
I like going into the game as underdogs as well. I like our chances here though, I'm expecting a great game and a win for Michigan.
December 5th, 2021 at 4:25 PM ^
We’ll be ready.
December 5th, 2021 at 4:26 PM ^
I hope it either stays that way or grows. It just further fuels the fire for Michigan.
December 5th, 2021 at 4:27 PM ^
Michigan has beaten the point spread nearly all season no matter if they are favored to win or lose. Why should this game be any different? Our guys can play with a nothing to lose attitude but they will bring it to the Dawgs in Miami-Go Blue!

This is true. I have happily lost a ton of money on Michigan this year. Started with Wisconsin, then Nebraska, Penn State, Ohio State, and by the time we got to Iowa I couldn't not employ my good luck charm of betting against my team. All $410 I had slowly made over the years betting against Michigan is now gone. I'm down to zero with nothing to bet on UGA unfortunately but I happily made this sacrifice for us. You're welcome. Hutchinson, Haskins, McNamara and I were willing to do it for the team.

- Michigan is 11-2 against the spread, best in FBS (failed to cover against Rutgers, MSU)
- Georgia 8-5 ATS, 31st FBS
- Michigan is also 2-0 outright as an underdog (+2 Wisconsin, +6.5 ohio State)
December 5th, 2021 at 4:29 PM ^
Give our team a month to prepare and anything is possible. I'm not as confident in Kirby Smart's game planning, but their team has talent.
December 5th, 2021 at 4:30 PM ^
I've never once gambled on sports, but say I were to put $100 on us to win the game, how much would that pay? Is that sort of bet affected by the line?
December 5th, 2021 at 4:32 PM ^
Yes, that would be called a money line bet. You would win a lot more than $100 if you pick us to win outright.
December 5th, 2021 at 4:33 PM ^
That's a moneyline bet. Moneyline is apparently +225 for Michigan. That means bet 100 collect 325 if Michigan wins, or 225 in winnings. (Don't bet sports much, so if I've got that wrong somebody correct me).
December 5th, 2021 at 4:45 PM ^
Damn, that's tempting.
But no. I absolutely do not trust myself to start going down that road.
December 5th, 2021 at 5:04 PM ^
Come on. Just once?
December 5th, 2021 at 5:13 PM ^
Correct. Michigan ML is +250 at Bovada right now. That means a $100 bet wins you $250 (collect $350).
December 5th, 2021 at 4:31 PM ^
No problem with being underdogs. Feeds into the theme and mindset of this year - "Nobody believes in us!"
December 5th, 2021 at 4:35 PM ^
Michigan - 37 Georgia - 31
December 5th, 2021 at 5:25 PM ^
That's pretty high scoring. I can see this one finishing like 24-16 Michigan or something like that.
December 5th, 2021 at 4:45 PM ^
Get on that UM action in Vegas NOW. RIGHT NOW. That line is gonna drop fast. Georgia's QB is mediocre at best, and UM is the most-rounded team in the country. UM demolished the Vegas-line vs #2 Ohio State and vs #13 Iowa. 28 days from now the line will be GA -3 or GA -4.

Might be as high as 5 or even 6, but I agree with the idea of this post.
December 5th, 2021 at 4:45 PM ^
Michi-can
-Beat the Bull Dogs
-Beat Bama
Go Blue!
December 5th, 2021 at 4:47 PM ^
Thanks for posting - did this already come down? I swear I saw the initial line at -9 earlier.
December 5th, 2021 at 4:50 PM ^
Yes, late last night some of the betting sites had GA -9 before it was announced today that UM would play GA.
That's one of the reasons this GA spread will only get closer and closer.
Bet on UM and the points now. Dont wait.

December 5th, 2021 at 5:51 PM ^
Yeah, I mean, I'm a homer, whatever, but this line seems to vastly underrate M.
December 5th, 2021 at 4:49 PM ^
We have to do what Bama did: Run tempo and get that oversized D lineman gassed early in the game.
December 5th, 2021 at 6:18 PM ^
Michigan has a talented, hungry, creative offense; but they are NEVER going to successfully run tempo for any meaningful length of time.
December 5th, 2021 at 6:40 PM ^
He’s only good for a couple plays and then he needs oxygen. I’m not as worried about their line but the linebackers are very fast. Cades gonna have to be near perfect for the first few series to loosen things up.
December 5th, 2021 at 4:51 PM ^
Happy being the Underdog.
No one is expecting Michigan to win, so it's all house money at this point.
Georgia is a good matchup for Michigan. Strength on strength and they don't have an elite QB, at least right now....things can change and Georgia will obviously try to address what Bama exposed.
Going to be a battle - but its the CFB Playoffs. No game is easy.
December 5th, 2021 at 4:54 PM ^
Ummm...K
December 5th, 2021 at 4:58 PM ^
Sounds good. I’m pretty sure Michigan has beaten the spread all season.
All the pressure is on Georgia in this game. Michigan’s season is already a rousing success no matter what happens. The question of what Georgia’s mindset is after being spanked by Alabama in front of the whole country can legitimately be asked.
December 5th, 2021 at 5:00 PM ^
Need to bottle all that disrespect up and use it. The #2 ranking, the SEC bias, the line (which will probably continue to go up) and just use it. It's worked all season so far.
December 5th, 2021 at 5:40 PM ^
The line will keep going doing. It already has gone done. The moment UM won last night, the betting sites had GA -9 vs UM. Today its already down to GA -7. Four weeks from now, expect it to be GA -3 to GA -5.
If peeps reading this wanna make some dough off the UM/GA game, bet UM and the points RIGHT NOW. The spread is only going to get closer and closer. UM shattered the spread vs OSU. UM obliterated the spread vs Iowa. GA was -7 vs Bama, and lost by 14 to Bama. UM has been a cover-spreading team all season. Bet on UM now, while it's still GA -7, or you are going to regret it.

December 5th, 2021 at 5:07 PM ^
Probably because we're going up against the greatest defense in the history of defenses. A once in a generation defense. A defense to end all defenses. At least that's what the SEC folks are saying.
December 5th, 2021 at 5:14 PM ^
I got it at UM +9
December 5th, 2021 at 5:24 PM ^
I don't know if Georgia is actually good or not, but they've done nothing to validate that kind of a spread against Michigan.
December 5th, 2021 at 6:03 PM ^
As long as they aren't 42 point underdogs, than I'd be worried.
December 5th, 2021 at 6:33 PM ^
I’ll watch this game the same way I approached OSU.
December 5th, 2021 at 6:42 PM ^
This is definitely a game where I feel we have two quarterbacks that are better than Stetson is. Georgia won’t win the game with Stetson by himself, he’s not elite. As long as we continue to use playmakers on offense we will be fine. We won’t straight up run on Georgia no more than they will us. One area of concern I have is their tight end Bowers is insanely fast and Ross struggled in pass coverage against Iowa all night. He’s good against the run but struggles against the pass. They also have a little white slot guy they like to release in the middle of the field and that’s an area Iowa exploited on us. Three weeks to prepare though.
December 5th, 2021 at 11:32 PM ^
Perfect, this team has fed off the nobody believes in us motivation all year so might as well keep fanning those flames in the playoff.
