Michigan 38, Illinois 35
November 6th, 2010 at 9:58 AM ^
42-41 M
I can't help it, I'm a homer.
November 6th, 2010 at 10:01 AM ^
Defense gets a big stop on a 2 point conversion to win the game.
November 6th, 2010 at 4:01 PM ^
Whoa...spooky.
November 6th, 2010 at 10:01 AM ^
We get a couple of turnovers for a change.
November 6th, 2010 at 10:22 AM ^
With the bad defense getting worse this week with injuries, I can't see us pulling out a win (barring a miracle and multiple Illinois turnovers). Add to that the fact that Illinois has no known rivals in the conference, but arbitrarily chooses us as their rival, always makes Illinois a tough game. With all that Michigan football has been through this year and how hard they have worked, they definitely deserve to make a bowl, but it will have to wait until next week:
Illinois: 41
Michigan: 28
November 6th, 2010 at 10:09 AM ^
Us = some. Them=Less
November 6th, 2010 at 10:10 AM ^
Fugly.
November 6th, 2010 at 10:12 AM ^
M: 35
Fighting Zooksters: 28
/BOOK'd
November 6th, 2010 at 10:13 AM ^
Last week, I felt as certain about a win as I have in a long time and we lost. This week, I'm feeling that it's not going to go our way so I'm going to say
Maize and Blue: 38
Orange and Blue: 24
November 6th, 2010 at 10:23 AM ^
Because for the reverse to work, you needed to predict an Illinois win then this week.
November 6th, 2010 at 10:28 AM ^
What I hope:
38-21 M.
What I think:
38-31 IU.
What I know:
42-40 M.
November 6th, 2010 at 10:31 AM ^
Illinois 45
M 20
i foresee many 60+ yd Illinois touchdowns on missed assignments or blown tackles
better hope we beat purdue
November 6th, 2010 at 10:36 AM ^
I think we will need at least 40 to win this game. We can do that!! 42-35 Blue!

28-24 Good guys.
Shoe! Lace!

November 6th, 2010 at 10:43 AM ^
Because it feels kinda muted on here this morning. Just over an hour to kickoff, and I'm not seeing a lot of action on the board. People more afraid than excited?
November 6th, 2010 at 10:43 AM ^
Goals to Victory:
-Win coin toss
- Score on 1st possession
- Score on 2nd possession
-Score on 3rd possession
- Repeat.
The offense putting up big points keeps the crowd behind the defense. Right now those seemingly 184923498234 freshman starting on defense need confidence more than anything. Seems like our defensive performance is a slippery slope...maybe the big house crowd can provide some traction.
November 6th, 2010 at 10:44 AM ^
The best thing I ever learned in life was that things have to be worked for. A lot of people seem to think there'is some sort of magic in making a winning football team. There isn't, but there's plenty of work.

Mich-38
Illini- hopefully less
November 6th, 2010 at 10:50 AM ^
investigation over, good feeling, playing loose,
just have a feeling M plays there most complete game of the year...
Mich 38
Ill 21
Go Blue!!!
November 6th, 2010 at 10:54 AM ^
Michigan 28
Just can't see winning this game.
November 6th, 2010 at 10:54 AM ^
Is it just me, or does Corso seem like he's doing better with his recovery? The guy seems more animated today, sentences flowing better and his vision seems to be tracking better (or something, I didn't get my Ph.D. in vision tracking). Good for him, it's a long road sometimes with strokes.
November 6th, 2010 at 11:00 AM ^
orange team 29
blue team 16
November 6th, 2010 at 11:02 AM ^
I am surprised anyone is predicting a Michigan win after last week. Here is my prediction:
Illini-35
UofM-21
November 6th, 2010 at 11:09 AM ^
things are always darkest before the dawn...hoping anyway
November 6th, 2010 at 11:28 AM ^
Trust me I never want Michigan to lose. Last week was painful though. I was so sure of a win last week. I just dont see a win this week. I hope that I wrong and we roll the Illini though. The end of the investigation plus a win this week could turn the momentum completely in our favor, for a change. God that would be sweet.
November 6th, 2010 at 11:42 AM ^
I hear ya - all you can do is hit the field running and do your best - last week was on the road in a hostile environment - have to regroup at home, be aggressive, and lay it all out there. Nothing to lose.
November 6th, 2010 at 11:08 AM ^
Illini - 45
Mich - 35
November 6th, 2010 at 11:11 AM ^
Hit the field in the two minute offense from the get-go. Defense sends 6+ across the line every play of the game so our dbs only have to cover for 3-4 secs. All is good and right as it should be. I need a warm place to travel to to go bowling...
November 6th, 2010 at 11:14 AM ^
30 I want to think we can win but my heart says no.
38-30 ILLini
GO Blue prove me wrong!
November 6th, 2010 at 11:35 AM ^
Knowledge must be busy doing other extraordinary activities

Illinois 45
:(
November 6th, 2010 at 11:46 AM ^
I think the Illini are better offensively than people think. However, haven't seen enough out of their defense that makes me think they can stop the Nard dawg. Those two factors, to me, indicate a high scoring game. Whose defense is worse? Ours.
Illinois 35
Michigan 31

UM 42
Ill 38
The first 7 came fast!!!
November 6th, 2010 at 12:35 PM ^
... that thing that Illinois player is doing, when he kicks the ball from beyond the 3 yard line, and it goes through those polls for 3 points. What is that?
November 6th, 2010 at 1:13 PM ^
Please win this game! Roundtree is putting on a clinic, and I would hate for his efforts to be in vain.
November 6th, 2010 at 1:38 PM ^
I said Ill 33 M 24 in an earlier thread. oops.
November 6th, 2010 at 1:52 PM ^
this is certainly entertaining...and stressful
November 6th, 2010 at 4:09 PM ^
Is it too late to predict 67-65 Michigan?
November 6th, 2010 at 4:17 PM ^
Guess a score like that and nobody will even believe it after the game. I'm just going to take the over every week from now on. Lots and lots of points is the only thing we can count on with this team.
