That is actually a pretty good number for Auburn.

1) They only have 6(!) returning starters, 3 each on offense and defense, from last year's squad.

2) They were +7 in close games (games decided by a TD or less) in 2010. That is an astounding number.

3) They play: @Clemson, @S. Carolina, @Arkansas, Florida, @LSU, @ Georgia and Alabama. They will likely be underdogs in all of those games.

There is a pretty good possibility that Auburn will not qualify for a bowl game in 2011. If they manage to win 7 or more games in the regular season, I will have to assume that Chizik made a Faustian-like pact with the Devil.

I've used sportsbook.com and bodog.com.  Both are offshore (sports betting websites are illegal in the U.S.).  Just a word of caution though, it's really easy to deposit money into your account but it's a pain in the ass to get it back out.  Both are about the same as far as that goes.  Yes, very infrequently I've been lucky enough to be at a point where I COULD withdraw.  And one more word of caution...DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT play the online table games.  Just stick to sports betting.  I got murdered at blackjack to the point where I really believed it was rigged.

Or, probably even better advice...don't gamble online.

I thought ND was going to go 12-1 and make it to a BCS bowl? Is this O/U the steal of the century? Lou Holtz must be going crazy! 

All joking aside, I think betting over on ND is a pretty smart bet.

Given Michigan's schedule, betting the over is probably a pretty safe bet. Beating seven isn't guaranteed, but getting a push at seven is a no-brainer.

They're almost certain to be at least 3-1 going into conference, and they play Minnesota and Purdue at home for an almost certain five wins. I think two of Northwestern, Iowa, and Illinois is pretty likely given their losses, which gets us to seven. They only need an upset against one of the toughest four games to get to eight and there isn't an elite team that will be almost impossible to beat on the schedule.

Looking at their schedule I see nine wins they should get (UNLV, Oregon State, N Illinois, S Dakota, Indiana, Purdue, Minny, Illinois and PSU). Toss ups are Nebraska, OSU and MSU. I'd say it's tough, but not out of the question to get 10 wins out of that schedule (Nebraska is at Camp Randall, with MSU and OSU on the road).

I mean... to me the real indicator of our record will be San Diego State. If we lose to San Diego State I think we can expect maybe a 7-5 season. If we beat them though (Sure, they might have an edge in the passing offense/against our pass defense matchup) and that should be the case given the fact that they will run a west coast offense that Al Borges knows first hand and have lost quite a bit of their receiving talent, then I think 8-4 or 9-3 is the better bet.

But really, if we can get 9-3 then there's no reason why we shouldn't get 10-2 unless the losses come against MSU, Nebraska, and OSU. In terms of returning talent and talent only:

Nebraska>ND>Ohio>MSU>Iowa>Michigan>SDSU

>Illinois=Northwestern>Purdue>Western>Minnesota>Eastern

 

But given the circumstances, I see two scenarios after 5-1 going into East Lansing. If we beat Sparty, then 10-2. If we lose, then 7-5.

This is quite true, but I'd venture to say that who they are returning (Micah Hyde, Shaun Prater, Tyler Nielsen, Riley Reiff, James Ferentz, Marvin McNutt, Marcus Coker) are much better in combination and consistency than who we are returning. They are also all proven to be above-average B1G players. Michigan has a lot of unproven but high potential players like (Avery, Countess, Campbell, Gordon, Stokes, Hopkins, Rawls)

That being said, of course I think Michigan will win against Iowa this year.

You'd seriously take Iowa's returning starters over Michigan's?





Mike Martin, Craig Roh, Denard Robinson, Roy Roundtree, Junior Hemmingway, Darryl Stonum, Patrick Omameh, Taylor Lewan, Kevin Koger, Michale Shaw, Vincent Smith...

I'm not even done... I'd say you need to rethink that statement.

Michigan fans have every reason to be excited about who we have coming back.

Looking at that list actually fired me WAY up...let's go blue!
