Predict the Score - Be the Envy of the MgoWorld
Mates,
If you're like me you have finished one of the least productive work weeks of your life today. The still-sweet joy of last Saturday remains. The excitement of another game that, if won, leads to the CFP is right on our doorstep. And while Iowa is no 'trash team', if you look at the metrics, strength of schedule, our momentum and what happened last week, well, let's just say 'Look out Iowa'. Maybe your thoughts on this game are somewhere between a nearly vanquished BPONE epidemic and the kind of overconfidence that those ohio fans had (sad red faces go here), but its hard to stop your heart beating fast with excitement about tomorrow.
I think the team will not only shrug off the 'let down' possibility, but also have such a dynamite energy and enthusiasm that tomorrow's game should go well for us, very well. I think this is happening tomorrow, minus the snow:
All that to say, time to guess the score. I'd even ask the 'Win will cause me/Loss will cause me' question but I don't want to step on anyone's posting toes.
So here it is: Guess the score to tomorrow's game.
And yeah, Go Blue!!

Oh man today is only hump day for me.
I did manage to get out of coming in early tomorrow night so I'll get to watch the first half.
Michigan 33

23-13 Michigan
December 3rd, 2021 at 5:44 PM ^
Domination. Total expectation subversion against a great defense. I think they fall apart. Offenses like Purdue and Wisconsin hung 20+ on them, and we're better than they are. Let's get it.
Michigan 45
Iowa 10
December 3rd, 2021 at 5:55 PM ^
i am literally fighting myself not to have a score prediction like that. but i definitely see a way that could happen. would be very, very nice.
December 5th, 2021 at 1:32 AM ^
I really wanted that FG for Moody... starting to feel bad for the guy a little. But I'll take this as well.
December 3rd, 2021 at 5:44 PM ^
Michigan 31 Iowa 13. It’ll be 21-6 at the half.
December 3rd, 2021 at 5:48 PM ^
So Iowa will score on the first possession of the second half and this board will have a meltdown?
December 3rd, 2021 at 5:47 PM ^
Michigan 27, Iowa 11
Close game until we pull away in the third quarter, special teams comes up with a major play
December 3rd, 2021 at 5:47 PM ^
24-14 Michigan, though UM dominates yardage and time of possession. HH goes for 150
December 3rd, 2021 at 5:49 PM ^
24-9 is the score
December 3rd, 2021 at 6:16 PM ^
I'll go with this +1.
24-10 good guys.
December 3rd, 2021 at 5:51 PM ^
38-17.
Haskins 135 yrds & 2 touchdowns
McNamara 185 yards 1 touchdown
Schoonmaker 1 touchdown
Henning returns a kickoff for TD.
2 1/2 sacks Hutchinson 1 1/2 sacks Ojabo. (They get at least 12 QB hurries)
Scoop and score Hutchinson, which solidifies his Heisman!!!
Go Blue!

December 3rd, 2021 at 6:08 PM ^
Vegas is usually pretty close, so I will go with the -11 and 24-13 Michigan.
December 3rd, 2021 at 6:10 PM ^
I'm drinking the preview Kool-Aid. They have no offense and their defense will be useless against our potent offense.
M 52-6
December 3rd, 2021 at 6:14 PM ^
31-23 good guys
December 3rd, 2021 at 6:15 PM ^
41-12 M. No Iowa TDs!!
December 3rd, 2021 at 6:16 PM ^
59-0 Michigan.
Iowa sucks.
December 3rd, 2021 at 6:25 PM ^
Dang...tell us how you really feel about Iowa.
December 3rd, 2021 at 7:48 PM ^
Same score as OSU-Wisconsin from Indy during their 2014 championship run. I like it
December 3rd, 2021 at 6:22 PM ^
31-10. Iowa's second score comes late. I'm just not buying all the concern from Michigan fans, personally. Maybe I'm wrong but all of Iowa's strengths (capitalizing on turnovers, special teams, etc..) I think are neutralized by Michigan also having great special teams and being a team that generally takes care of the football. On offense I just don't think they have the athletes to hang with all of Michigans weapons in space.
December 3rd, 2021 at 6:23 PM ^
Michigan 24-10.

M 38 - I 13
Iowa has been living on the mistakes of teams not as good as Michigan all season. Their run defense hasn't done well against teams that can run and pass. Iowa has pulled a couple big plays out in every come from behind victory. Minnesota and Nebraska gifted them victories with defensive lapses. I don't think Michigan will make those mistakes. The coaching staff seems to be on it this year. I have high hopes.
Credit Iowa for persisting, not quitting and coming up with plays that confused the opponents defense. I hope Michigan's receivers have a good day.
December 3rd, 2021 at 6:23 PM ^
31-10 Blue
December 3rd, 2021 at 6:24 PM ^
26 to 19 Michigan
Workman like, lot's of field goals
December 5th, 2021 at 12:45 PM ^
I think this is the winner.
December 3rd, 2021 at 6:26 PM ^
UM 20 to Iowa 17. Emotional hangover but they get the job done.
December 3rd, 2021 at 6:29 PM ^
The Michigan offense knows who it is, Iowa gets exposed. 42-13 Michigan, score is only this close because Jim pumps the brakes and puts in 2nd and 3rd team players. Garbage TD by Iowa late.
December 3rd, 2021 at 6:30 PM ^

It's time to win a championship
December 3rd, 2021 at 6:33 PM ^
31-14, Michigan. For all the talk about this being a US-Finland olympic hockey final in 1980, this reminds me more of the Red Sox in 2004 because a) the years (upon decades) of torture that were erased with the win (OSU/Yankees). In 04 the Red Sox smoked the Cardinals in 4 because in reality the Red Sox felt minimal relative pressure even if the stakes were arguably just as high.
To that end, I think that Michigan will get an early score or two, give up a TO or special teams TD to keep Iowa in the game, and then do a repeat of the second half of the OSU game where they drive without mistakes to close things out. I hope I'm right.

If i get the score correct I should get 5 million mgopoints bc someone gave stephen kass > 20 million.
December 3rd, 2021 at 6:40 PM ^
stephen king (SRJK), not kass. but both of those guys work closely with the last part of your user name, so that could have something to do with it.
December 3rd, 2021 at 6:36 PM ^
30-13 Good guys
