Playoff Odds already out
You might want to cover your childrens eyes for what Alabama will be doing to Cincy.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:54 PM ^
I would like to pretend I'm offended so my faux outrage somehow transfers to the actual team.
December 5th, 2021 at 1:34 PM ^
I'm mostly okay with the ranking... it's the point spread that offends me.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:50 PM ^
M -7.5
Bama -14
On Fan Duel. Makes more sense.
December 5th, 2021 at 1:04 PM ^
Really? Wow. 3 or 3.5 for M makes sense. More respect....
Edit: did you mean +7.5 for M?
December 5th, 2021 at 1:51 PM ^
Yes. +7.5. My bad.
December 5th, 2021 at 3:07 PM ^
It opened at 9 this morning and has steadily fallen since
December 5th, 2021 at 12:53 PM ^
CBS sports set that line. I don't bet sports, and I especially don't bet M games, but that line will be -5 by game time. SEC homers gonna homer.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:59 PM ^
We're 9 point dogs to the choking bulldogs???? Give me a fucking break. Let's go rip their hearts out
December 5th, 2021 at 1:00 PM ^
Actual line is out now and it’s -7 Georgia
Alabama -13.5
December 5th, 2021 at 1:08 PM ^
-7 Georgia is more reasonable, still think it'll drop after people think about it, realize this Michigan keeps not choking.
December 5th, 2021 at 1:19 PM ^
I bet it will go a little lower.
December 5th, 2021 at 1:03 PM ^
already dropped to 7.5, over/under 43.5
December 5th, 2021 at 1:06 PM ^
Michigan will have to beat out both divisions of the SEC to take it all. Sounds good....let's go.
December 5th, 2021 at 1:15 PM ^
My thinking as well. Beating one the SEC will claim shit happens. Beating both will send shudders through the SEC.
December 5th, 2021 at 1:48 PM ^
I'm so sick of the politics of college football putting everything on a silver platter for the SEC.
They are probably the best conference. But it is self-perpetuating because the playoff committee always gives them half of the playoff spots.
We need an expanded playoff, and we needed it yesterday.
December 5th, 2021 at 1:14 PM ^
I think there is no small amount of confirmation bias going on. As the talking heads were saying, Georgia was always number 1 because they were always number 1. Thus Alabama beating the #1 team means they are the #1 team again. Well, the Georgia I saw last night was very beatable by Michigan, and the Alabama I saw all season long (save for last night) was beatable by Michigan.
Now I don't much care what Michigan is ranked so long as they're in the CFP, nor do I care about the point spreads, just saying that I don't think the spread is matching reality. Moreover, as much as I think the Orange Bowl spread is backward, I think too much credit is being given to Cincinnati.
December 5th, 2021 at 2:41 PM ^
Computers don't experience confirmation bias. Massey has:
- Alabama -13
- Georgia -2
And for what it's worth, Massey has outperformed the initial spread over the last half dozen bowl seasons.
December 6th, 2021 at 12:23 AM ^
Jake Moody can do some damage to UGA -2.
December 5th, 2021 at 1:27 PM ^
Love UM being an underdog. Love it. Let the fire kindle baby. These guys can do it.
get healthy and it feels like UM has some wildcards and a lot they can still unleash…including JJ.
December 5th, 2021 at 1:45 PM ^
Michigan v. Georgia is just a question of which one comes with the better game plan and plays well that day.
Want a Michigan v. Cincinnati final...
December 5th, 2021 at 1:47 PM ^
Another reason to bet U of M is honestly, our players want this more.
Georgia is in disappointment mode, Bama feels it's their God-Given right to be national champions, Cincy, clearly wants it, but probably doesn't have the ammunition.
Our team seems legitimately determined, they have everything to prove and they know it. I don't care if it's a coaching cliche or not, this team does seem legitimately special, and their will to win is extremely high. Like say a prayer for the practice squad over the next month high.
December 5th, 2021 at 2:13 PM ^
Yea, I am putting a lot on Michigan getting 9 and then putting a lot on the money line. Michigan is going to win. If your not first your last.
December 5th, 2021 at 2:31 PM ^
Gentlemen: Prepare to overtake more ass.
December 5th, 2021 at 3:58 PM ^
538 has Georgia 62%-38% over Michigan, and Alabama 71%-29% over Cincinnati in the semifinals.
It has Georgia still the favorite to win the title at 38%, Alabama at 35%, Michigan at 18% and Cincinnati at 9%.
Depending on which of Sagarin's models you use, Michigan ranges from a 1.5 point favorite to a 7 point underdog vs Georgia
