Michigan & Va Tech

does michigan have  any explosive ability.   i am  trying to find an  angle to bet them  and I think their  best  chance is  to unsettle the balance  as  quickly as  possible and  make  VaTech  play from  behind. 

does  this  fit  the  michigan personality to come  out  swinging in the

bowl game?

You're saying Michigan will be "master of there domain"?

BOL!

one angle to guage the  toughness of the big ten is to  look at OhioSt

and nebraska  , who  michigan beat.    these two  teams played

a couple of tough  SEC teams.  i have  said  that the big ten underwhelms  but looking  back,  they  played  these  two  teams pretty tight.   i  dont think vatech has  overwhelmed anything with their schedule. 

I have  made  my  mind  up.   Going  with Michigan. even tho VaTech looks  like an  easier pick to  make.  Looking at VaTech shcedule, I would  say that they might  be  a big pretender.   gaTech was the  best  win followe d by  Miami.  neither of these  two  teams chill my  bones.,   I will give credibility to Michigan wins  OhioSt and Nebraska. as I think they  played  their SEC opponents tight in yesterdays games proving that they  are  not empty. 

read where  VaTech not  selling  too many tickets. - but Michigan supports  well

 VaTech student count  28K

Mich   student  count 42 K

I like Mich new  coach,  and I like the legacy of Mich.

The  dome  turf  should help speed  of the offense and  bottom line,

I  think Mich  has  more  potential  on  offense than does  VaTech.

defense  might be more  equal ,  but I would  give the edge to Mich

and the  last  5-6  games  Toussaint has  been  very  effective. i  havent  really  seen Robinson but I  will give  him the  credit of a  valid 

dual attack.

Simply way too much credit.  Have you seen this kid throw?

No, but the last 5 game stats show completion rate over 60 and  interception rate down.

yeah, i love michigan here, although i still think MSU should've been playing in this game(that's another story).  anyhow, although michigan's schedule allowed them to only beat 1 ranked team all year(2 if you count Notre Dame, who were ranked when they beat them), neither did VT.  and if you wanna make comparison's, then just look at VT's game(s) against Clemson, who would compare favorably to Michigan.  Alot of offensive firepower, an athletic dual-threat QB, and even though Clemson's defense has more NFL talent on it, UM's played better against the BIG 10, than Clemson's did against the ACC.  Obviously, Clemson routed VT this year twice, and i think the same thing happens again tonight against UM.  Kickers both out for tonight's game as well, and with a great scoring defense for michigan, it means tech will have to score TD's every time they get to the redzone, which in turn puts HUGE pressure on the offensive coordinator, and a true sophomore QB, who is great, but young.  Overall, i just think UM is the better team, and this line is about where i would set it if i were vegas as well.  I believe we will have both offenses show up more than the general public will be expecting here tonight, i like UM, UM 1Half, UM TT OVER, OVER, 1Half OVER.
