The Game predictions.

M 7
Ohio 13

28-17...good guys bring the pain. Crackin ribs and skulls.

I just don't see it for Michigan.

In just more recent history (I went in 91, 92 & 93 as well) I have been at the games in 2011, 2013 & last year in A2. 

2011 was awesome simply because MICHIGAN won...

I'm fine with 2013 and was in favor of going for 2, but damn it we should have won!!

Last year was just brutal - cold and lame and a complete beatdown.

 

I really don't know what to expect.  I'm almost afraid to assume that MICHIGAN will play a tough game and keep it close and somehow, possibly ...win? because of the past many years now. 

Clearly PTSD there.  

And last year I assumed the new coaching staff would have the team incredibly ready and fired up and that just wasn't the case.  Maybe Durkin was so busy interviewing for Maryland that the laid an egg on the gameplan.  Maybe Elliott and all those "NFL" buckeyes were just that much better last year..

I would be much more confident if the game were in Ann Arbor, but it's not.  I just hope that for once, in such a long time ...that we might just finally get a break or two.  I think this MICHIGAN team deserves it - these Seniors especially.

 

I'm so anxious right now, it's almost hard to eat leftovers.  almost...

 

GO BLUE!

24-17 good guys!

Michigan 27 OSU 14

Heart says Michigan 41 Ohio State 17.

Head says Michigan 41 Ohio State 17.

Razor Laser Sharp Focus for this one. Count on it. Big game in the run game. Defensive line will be Ohio State's toughest test. Barter will have to be precise throwing the ball. Don't see that happening. I think Michigan's defensive line overwhelms Ohio State run game.

24-7 Michigan. Defensive struggle. Michigan gets a pick six late to turn the tide of the game.

Ohio State wants to win. Michigan needs to win, for so many reasons.

Harbaugh rises to the occasion.

Michigan 24, Ohio State 20

Bet on shaving my head. I have grown my hair out since last year. After coming out flat last year. I decided to grow it out. I will donate my hair when Michigan wins. A loss will cause me to grow for another year. Michigan wins 20-17.

Michigan 17-14. Kenny Allen scores the final points with 3 minutes to go. The defense holds OSU for the win. Nice runs from Smith, Evans, McDoom. Hill with one TD and Chesson on the other. Gary gets a key sack. That is all I have to say.

Tons of variables - Speight, how well they run the ball, how well we run the ball, etc. The crazy yet beautiful thing about college football is that you can look like crap one week and worldbeaters the next. Hoping it's the latter for us tomorrow.

These games are won in trenches. Even last year, we were close at the half. I know our OL has not performed great throughout the year but they are definitely good, especially the right side. Even if it is O'Korn I say he will show his athleticism and some throws that we did not see last week. To beat these guys we have to beat them in the trenches. We will give up a few big plays but we are going to contain them to field goals and a TD. Our defense is really good especially in the RZ. I say we are going over 200 yards rushing and gash their defense in the 4th quarter. I also say our Defense exposes OSU offense. This is the year the tide tubs and Don Brown proves to be the Buckeye killer. M 24-12

20 UM - 19 OSU We NEED this win. The seniors really NEED this win. Go Blue.

Good possibility of defensive slugfest.  I'm hoping for some Kenny Allen field goals while we stop them in the red zone - continuing the yearlong tradition of giving up very few points - sooo

Michigan 16

Ohio State 9

OSU 20 - M 10

We will score on offense. We will score on special teams. We will win the turnover battle. We will eat their offensive line's lunch. We will run plays and formations that only 150 people inside Schembechler Hall have seen. Seven senior starters from Ohio and Jabrill Peppers will refuse to lose. 

 

Michigan 28

Ohio State 13

Too much riding on this for the seniors and Harbaugh to fail.  I have a feeling Michigan goes into the shoe and drops the hammer on the Bucknuts.  Speight will play and play lights out.  We have the hunger, experience and talent this season.  Michigan 41, OSU 17.

I understand the doom and gloom because we've been beaten badly over the past 10+ seasons.  But look at it objectively and we've been better than OSU this season.  They are not without their share of issues.  It's up to Harbaugh et al to expose them, which I think they will.

Have no clue what is going to happen. Wouldn't necessarily be shocked by any outcome whether a big Michigan win, close win, close loss, or a big loss.

Lions beat Browns

A Michigan man is honest, even to a fault. It pierces my very soul to make this prediction. I will not lie to myself or to others. I'll dance through the streets if Michigan defeats the monster under your child's bed. UM 21, OSU 24. Pray I am wrong. #GoBlue

If Speight plays and is healthy 50/50.  If he doesn't/isn't, well, anything's possible but I'd give us a 25% shot.

Michigan 24

Ohio State 17

I had a bad feeling earlier in this week, however that is long gone and I am now very optimistic that Michigan "gets it done" tomorrow. 

24-12.

 for timely predicting score.  Also say Speight, O'Korn, Morris, and Peppers will take snaps from center in this one.  Go Blue !

 

Close game but we get the breaks.

We lose. 23-13
:(

Field goal insanity

19-16 Michigan.

UM 31 OSU 6

Honest gut feeling answer: 27-13 Buckeyes. Michigan homer for life answer: 21-20 Wolverines.

31 - 17 Bad Guys

I think this team will stop Ohio State's offense. If Speight plays we win 24-17; if O'Korn plays...well, I sure hope he's much better than he was against Indiana...

Going off of the PSU, MSU and WIS games (that OSU played)  I can't help but think with those close calls and taking those games into consideration we have a shot ..... I feel we bring it all together tomorrow (Sat).  Like I said last week after the game .... I think we win by 10.  Special Teams or Def TD also predicted within the game.

MICHIGAN   23

Ohio St         13

 

Side Note:  I also still feel Alabama could lose to Auburn on Sat as well ... Would really make for a great Saturday of football.   =)

 

Hairless Nuts 37 Michigan 6

rold me a secret, 79-0 Michigan. I told him that OSU is pretty god so shouldnt we give them some points? He said "ok but only one" So 79-1 Michigan.
