Michigan now a 10 pt favorite/Drinking thread
Michigan has gone from -7.5 to -10 over the past couple hours. Just a lot of Friday night activity or Vegas knows something we don't?

Edit: While not intended, this appears to be the drinking thread as well. I'm enjoying some Brother Thelonious and from the other thread now watching The Big Chill.

I need to quit drinking and go to bed.

In honor of hockey season being upon us, I vote that one of our future drinking/hockey threads be titled "Puck it, let's drink"
October 9th, 2015 at 10:19 PM ^
That's because I dropped a cool million on the game tonight.
No... No, no I didn't. That's a lie. I'm drunk. Go blue.
October 9th, 2015 at 10:25 PM ^
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that make the line go lower not higher? I know you're joking, and I don't bet on sports, or anything for that matter so I may be wrong.
October 9th, 2015 at 10:36 PM ^
Ceteris Paribus, The line moves to where the money is going. So if that million was placed on us the line would increase, if it was placed on NW it would decrease.

Harbaugh's pregame speech leaked and it was flames. Had to turn the line up to 10

Is that a half-assed "pump it up" sign or a sardonic "wank" sign?
October 10th, 2015 at 7:24 AM ^
I believe it's a half-assed eating sign that Denard used to do along with every other playmaker in football at the time. KEEP FEEDING DENARD THE BALL!
October 9th, 2015 at 10:24 PM ^
usually don't see stuff like that.
My intuition after lots of gambling in my life :-) is this feels more like (a) Vegas knows something than (b) all kinds of money all of a sudden on Michigan.
Good sign, I suppose, if one is a U-M fan.
October 9th, 2015 at 10:51 PM ^
We saw this exact thing two weeks ago. The sharps hammered the Michigan bet the second it hit a TD. The good money is on us winning fairly easily.

how would "Vegas know something" when they set the line on Sunday and this move happened last night?
also, this wouldn't be sharp money on a Friday night. they're betting openers and fading the general public's money, this is drunk Friday night money. :-)
also part 2: it's pretty easy to go from 7.5 to 9.5 as 8/9 aren't key numbers. getting to 10 is somewhat significant, especially if it stays there until kickoff.
October 9th, 2015 at 10:25 PM ^
That's interesting because that line has been pretty stable after going down to 7.5. Maybe someone got injured for NW and we don't know about it yet?

Pat Fitzgerald is still in line at Zingermans and won't be getting to his hotel room until 1 in the morning.

Or perhaps something was off about his sandwich and now his tummy is upset? One can only speculate at this point.

Zingerman's doesn't make 'off' sandwiches very often.
October 10th, 2015 at 11:44 AM ^
Zingerman's is the most overrated restaraunt in Ann Arbor!
October 10th, 2015 at 6:32 AM ^
He'd thought the sandwich he paid $17 for was a three-pounder... boy was he disappointed.
October 9th, 2015 at 10:26 PM ^
Hmmmm.
October 9th, 2015 at 10:26 PM ^
That is pretty rare that close to game time. Affirmative smith is playing tomorrow?
October 9th, 2015 at 10:28 PM ^
Hope it is sign of good things. They must have found out that PEPPERS is the #3 RB
October 9th, 2015 at 10:34 PM ^
I'm going to three team dip the game and get Michigan even, NW 20 and the over..

I bet Brian's 18-0 prediction had something to do with it.

Wanted to give a good responses here, but I have nothing, fuxking nothing...it took me too long to crest this post. Go Blue

Walker and Bush committed tonight and are dressing for the game tomorrow.

Closing out the NC State-Virginia Tech game with some Hoegaarden here, but saving the bulk of that and the Franziskaner Weissbier for tomorrow. I am going to take advantage of some rare alone time and watch the game at home - my wife is in Toronto for the weekend and my mother-in-law will have the kids until Sunday afternoon. Me, beer and football - I will take it.
October 9th, 2015 at 11:04 PM ^
Why aren't you going to the game?
October 9th, 2015 at 11:12 PM ^
If I had that much (or really any) time away from my wife and kids I'd probably spend it a lot differently.
Unless "beer and football" is mgocode for "cocaine and prostitutes".

I haven't been home for 2 days for work, and I'm leaving tomorrow morning to come to Ann Arbor to tailgate then go to the game...maybe you need to share a beer that I've never had...lol

by at least 2 scores, something like 20-6 or something but I wouldn't doubt a shutout either.
October 9th, 2015 at 11:01 PM ^
Same

3 straight shutouts
Would be crazy. While I would love to see it, I just don't see it.

Phil Steele picks Michigan but.... Just barely 13-10. I like michigan to win this game by 13. Jaw jacker pumpkin spice per the wife.
October 9th, 2015 at 10:59 PM ^
I have difficulty seeing us score 13 points, though I do think Michigan will win.
October 9th, 2015 at 11:07 PM ^
16-3 book it.
October 10th, 2015 at 1:23 AM ^
My pick as well.
October 9th, 2015 at 11:34 PM ^
Phil Steele sucks!

Jake Rudock has been replaced by Andrew Luck, who is on a rehab assingment.
I'm drinking fireball like some classless coed.

Don't care if we win by 1.
Just win baby.

Michigan is going to pound this one out. 24-7....just watch.
