yea yea yea i know i know i know...buying points is for suckers...blah blah blah. I think this is a 1 score game either way. And after watching Mangum QB for BYU against UCLA, I think he can do more against Michigan with 1 more week experience under his belt. Also, let's be real, Michigan's O is not good and relatively 1 dimensional with the run, and that's Harbaugh's modus operandi.
Probably a relatively low scoring close ball game with 1 team eeking out the win.

I find the Michigan / BYU line fascinating. It seems to disregard all that BYU has accomplished thus far this season, while anointing Harbaugh as the second coming (already) of Bo Schembechler.
Michigan lost to an average Utah team, then pounded a couple scrubs - at home. BYU has played a much more difficult schedule. They went into UCLA as 17 point dogs and nearly won the contest outright, losing by a single point. I doubt they will be intimidated in the Big House.
Hell, Sagarin numbers say that UCLA is about 5.5 points better than Michigan. And BYU is getting 5.5? BYU should be laying 2!
A lot of folks look at this game and seem to think BYU has run out of gas. Even if that IS true, and I see no evidence of it, I think the Mormons still keep it within 3 points. Buying two is good insurance, but I doubt you really needed to. BYU covers and probably wins straight up

I took BYU at +4.5 I think and have them in my UDML parlay. Well find out how mentally tough they are but they appear to be a good team this year. Mich still needs to prove it. I think +7 is a good bet, I agree this is likely a one score game.

I agree completely with your analysis and would add that Michigan's strength, running the ball, is BYU's strength, run D. This may not seem like the case since UCLA's perkins ran for 219, but most of that was in big chunks at the end of the game when BYU was gassed. They held a run-first Nebraska squad to less than 3.5 yards a carry and held Boise to 62 yards.

Thursday night home dog AND they've played a substantially harder schedule. I know the win over W&M last week was underwhelming but they were probably in a letdown spot after being exasperated from the two big game losses. And i really don't think Boise is that good anymore, they simply have name recognition

both off very underwhelming offensive performances (most of GaTech's pts came in the last 5 minutes when ND was in prevent and GaTech got an onside as well to have an extra possession)
and DUke got completely held up by NU's defense. I'd imagaine offense would be the complete focus of the coach's gameplans this week, knowing that Cutcliffe and Johnson's backgrounds are offense heavy.

crush-city. syracuse is apparently going to start a walk-on QB after starter got injured. This kid wasn't even on the depth chart. They won't score more than say 6 points... LSU bound to post 38+

cincy scores at will, however I think they get a couple stops on D and slow the tempo big time...
0-2 -$675 bad start to the week
love losing both in the last minute....i will never understand why memphis didn't try to run the clock down and kick a FG to win, versus scoring that quick and giving a QB, whom had thrown for 550+ yards, another chance to score.... but that is the game we play....
