Spread moving in Michigan's favor

Now at UM -2.5 after sitting at -1.5 for the past month. Smart money coming in late seems to know what we all know.

I am in total emotional protection mode.  I totally admit it .  Rooting for a “W”.  Will be screaming like crazy in between sips of bourbon.

 The rational side of me says that until we beat a legit SEC team I need to keep my hopes low.  But maybe today is the day!!!  GO BLUE!!!

OK, for the first time ever I'm putting money down.  M is going to take Bama to the woodshed.  Anyone have any good recommendations for reputable online betting establishments, I'd certainly appreciate it.

I would argue that the Big Ten vs SEC games have gone better than Vegas expected.  Maryland upset Auburn, wisc almost upset LSU (and beat the spread), Iowa was expected to be blown out, osu had numerous starters out and their QB3 most of the game, and PSU had a close game against Mississippi.

Media and talking heads make their money based off of clicks and generating responses.

Vegas makes its money off of being right.

Doesn’t mean Michigan is going to win, but Vegas likes their odds. And Vegas does not like being wrong.

If there was ever a time to place an emotional hedge bet - today is the day.

Give me Bama ML at plus odds.

I'm 100000000% ok with burning my money when we win!

As I mentioned in the other thread though, that one point movement is somewhat offset by an increase in the juice: Bama plus 1.5 was -105, Bama plus 2.5 is -115.

ESPN must be contractually obligated to put the ”0-6 in bowl games at Michigan” graphic up whenever Harbaugh is being shown. JFC. And now we have to watch a sign-gate segment.
