VVSIAP: Michigan a 41 Point Favorite

Submitted by FauxMo on
Very, very, VERY sorry if already posted, but vegasinsider.com is showing Michigan as a 41 or 42 point favorite this weekend at various sports books. I never bet on Michigan games, but even if I did I wouldn't touch that one. 6 touchdowns is a lot. On the other hand, Hawai'i looks sucky and they have to travel 84,000 miles (IIRC) to get here...

The earth is flat. They have to fly around the circumfince of the cirle to add time so the govt can keep the spherical earth lie going. It'll feel like 80-90,000 miles, but it will really only be around 5,500. Planes go much faster than is currently believed

Exactly, that's why I hate those lines. If we go up 35-0 in the first half, the second half will be 3rd and 4th stringers, and I could see us winning 42-7. Or, I could see our 4th stringers run up the score and a 52-0 win or something. You just never know...

Harbaugh usually doesn't score more than he needs to in non conf games.

We could've murdered Oregon State and UNLV if we tried to score more. Same with BYU as the game was over at half.

Sure but I feel like some of the assistants have alluded recently to winning the way we're expected to, which against a team like Hawaii implies blowout.

Whatever helps us get into the Playoff (knock wood).

Several years later when Bo was asked if he ran up the score in this game, he said... "Anybody that got beat by that many points is going to say you ran it up. But the truth of the matter is, we were scoring with the third and fourth guys. We were scoring with EVERYBODY late in that game." 



It was no secret that Bo was very angry with Illinois for firing Gary Moeller. And he did not like Illinois head coach Mike White who Bo considered a cheater for his recruiting tactics. Bo took great delight in pounding White's teams whenever he could. 



Game played on November 7, 1981 in Ann Arbor.

I'd never bet against Michigan in a game but if I were a fan of anyone else I'd be all over Hawaii on this bet. No way we beat that spread. There are going to be guys playing for Michigan in the second half that even Brian has never heard of. Plus we'll be every bit as vanilla on O and D as we can be to win comfortably.

I think 3 QBs will play with Speight and O'Korn combining for 80-90% of the snaps. So even with the 2nd and 3rd teamers out there I think we still put up 40+ offensive points. Factor in a potential defensive and/or special teams TD and it could get real ugly for Hawaii (unintentionally).

59-10, Michigan covers.

I think it might take the boys a while to get into the flow of things. I say 24-14 at half. End up winning by 31
