Wow, I think the OSU v Oregon game is going to be a lot closer than that. I was not impressed with OSU against Minnesota. Also I think Michigan is going to win by more than 3

Oregon needs Thibodeaux to keep it close, and I wish he was playing. Without him, I don't think Oregon will keep it close past mid-3rd quarter.

Washington certainly laid an egg last week, but it's still a talented team and they are going to play hangry tonight. Your boys in blue are going to take them more seriously on the field than a large portion of the M fan base that has already determined this game a win. It will be interesting to see how many big plays Michigan can get against this defense because it will be among the best 3 or 4 defenses M will play all season.

We will see. It was very clear that Stroud is nowhere near the QB Fields was and Minnesota was in control for a majority of that game due to OSU's shaky defense. Oregon is more talented than Minnesota

Yes, Oregon is better than Minnesota and the Ducks played a very good first half.

Also true that Stroud is nowhere near Fields (who can be?)...he's not throwing downfield much and when he does his throws are often high and dangerous.

I wouldn't say that Minnesota was in control a majority of the game...they had a great 14-0 2nd quarter; the rest of the game was 45-17.

Day is great with halftime adjustments. Saw it last week again too. OSU has work to do to win today's game; they're still trying to settle in Stroud as a QB. We'll see what adjustments Day makes on O for the 2nd half.

Michigan/Washington = Monkey Rodeo

OSU/Oregon = Bloodbath - OSU wins big .. OU missing their best player plus early start on EST.. woof. 

Iowa/ISU = Corn

24-17 Michigan (aka 'Good Guys').  38-14 OSU.  21-17 Iowa.

Changed my mind already.  Feeling a new vibe.  34-10 Good guys.  OSU in a dog fight now, probably prevail 28-21, though it really looks like a toss up late in second quarter.

Washington 20-10.  This is the EXACT kind of game Harbaugh always loses

OSU 31-10, although it is looking encouraging for O through 1

Iowa 10-7.  Double the Iowa, double the bland, boring game

 

Edit:  FYI - I negged myself for picking Washington. Feel free to pile on!

I like 3TD + 2FG=27 for Michigan vs 2TD + 1FG=17 for Washington. Am showing a little more respect for the Washington defense. Michigan plays a better second half.

OSU 45 Oregon 28

Iowa 28 IA ST 21.

I say the Husky OL don't get the pads low enough and struggle with the run with the passing game no better than WMs. 

They get some pressure on Cade but not enough to hold the M Offense
