Lynn Henning Picks Sparty
So, here's the score, even as a head still shakes over a spread I utterly can't believe: Michigan State 45, Michigan 28.

From The Detroit News: http://detnews.com/article/20101007/OPINION03/10070446/1361/Spartans-a-good-bet-to-roll-past-Wolverines-again#ixzz11h2uEgdS
I like our chances.  He is such a spartan homer its not even funny.

 

He uses the Wisky game to prove how awesome sparty is, but the fraudgers played no one tough (on the road at least) before MSU

 

Why not use ND as a yard stick?  B/C that would prove the game would be close with the edge going to UofM for winning 1st on the road (thats why)

As for that two- or three-touchdown edge that still seems about right, I'll bow to Vegas and split the difference."

Okay, Lynn, you idiot, let's do that math:

Vegas = Michigan win by 5.
You think MSU wins by 14-21. (call it 17)

If you "split the difference" then your prediction should be MSU by 6.

You will learn that there is a small sector of people in this community that freak out anytime anyone posts, or mentions, game predictions.

However, for some reason, these are the same people that thrive of predictions of recruits, pre-season rankings, and pre-season prediction for 2-deep, transfers, position changes, coaching moves, bowl projections, etc.

Which is basically everything that is college football.... excpet the games themselves.  Which make up 13 of 365 days a year (if you are lucky).

So, Negative Nancies... if talking UM predictions is so Off-Topic, then you should follow your own bitching-rules and only post on the UM Live-Blog during games.  Everything else is useless speculation in either "what could have been done" or "what can be done."

The other option, of course, is to ignore posts/subjects that annoy you.  But you can't stop yourself from being heard... can you?

Look at granholm she gave a no hitter! Her opinion clearly matters more than henning.



The point is that these are opinions by people who don't know jack shit.



Their opinions don't mean a thing, don't effect the outcome of the game and are a waste of putting up on this board.



If we posted every fucking prediction that is all that would be on this board.



In sum: stop it!

While he remains stunned that MSU is not a 14-21 point favorite, I ask him to explain to me how 95% of the bets are going to MSU, but somehow the line has only been bumped down to -4.5? Looks to me that the wise guys are laying massive bets on the good guys. They don't set lines to go bankrupt Lynn.

But, he forgot to factor in Cousins' three ints on the day and UM's blocked punt that sets up a first and goal.  And Lewan getting away with holding all day.  Oh, and Baker's 45 yard TD run being called back for an illegal block in the back.  So, UM 38-35

First he rails against the Vegas spread as a big deal.  Everyone knows that the spread is set only for the purpose of attracting money on both sides.  There is likely a Michigan premium at play.  More fans, more loyalty, more Michigan grads with jobs, means more money on Michigan.  They need to raise the point spread to attract money on the MSU side. 

But then, he contradicts himself with his "these guys are smarter than me, what do they know that I don't know."  No conviction in his "analysis".   

The final paragraph is simply unintelligible.
