Michigan is favored by 4 and obviously has a young roster on both sides of the ball this year. Florida has lots of experience coming back on offense but not much on defense. If Zaire wins the QB job this could give them a real boost. With 9 returning starters their offense should finally generate points under HCJM and their defense has been great the last few years.

Talent is fairly equal on both teams but it's hard to forget the 41-7 beatdown Michigan handed Florida 2 years ago. I see this game being a bit sloppy and possibly coming down to a FG so I'm leaning Gators. Opinions on this neutral site game in week 1?

Edge You have done your homework on this game. I've researched this game inside and out. I came to the same conclusions you did so I'm just going to add on to the information you've already provided. First, yes Florida has only 4 "returning starters" but that # is misleading. Fla was ravaged by injury mid season which allowed for a handful of gators to start multiple games, which don't show up as returning starter such as; LB David Reese (5 game starter, sec def player of the week vs. LSU) LB Kylan Johnson (6 game starter 40 tackles 2 forced turnovers +10 lbs in offseason) Safety Chauncey Gardner ( 4 game starter, MVP outback bowl with 2 ints 1 pick 6 and exceptional tackler. Dt Taven Bryan ( no starts but played as many plays as anyone on the DL). In reality they have 8 returning starters on defense. There are are more examples that meet this criteria such as; DE Jabari Zuniga 5 sacks who is a PHil STEELE Preseason all American. DE Jordan Sherit (4.5 sacks 5th year senior). LB's Vosean Joseph and Christian Garcia started the Outback bowl. The 1 concern I have about the defense is the vacant CBC spot opposite of all sec cb Duke Dawson. Hopefully 1 of the 5 4* freshmen dbs can step in admirably.

Offensively, this team is ready to break the shackles that have held them down the previous 2 years of coach JM regime because of poor offensive line and qb play. Combined with an exceptional defense those 2 factors influenced the coaches to implement a conservative offensive game plan. This year will be totally different however, Zaire has the perfect skill set for JM offense with the dual threat capability to go along with the track record of not ever turning the ball over in his career at Norte dame. In terms of the offensive line the gators have 2 tackles that are projected to be first or second round picks. The 3 interior positions have at least 7 players vying for those positions even though those spots have returning starters (depth). Skill position wise, RB Jordan Scarlett and Wr Antonio Calloway are 2 of the best players at their respective positions in the entire NCAA. They supported by alternates and backups that have NFL potential. The offens rounds out by having 2 NFL caliber players at TE. With all of these components you can see whyJM is excited about letting his corralled gators loose.

If that's not enough positive indicators then take hold to this, The fla gators have an all American punter and kicker in Johnny Townsend and Pineda!!!!

In conclusion, Michigan inexperienced roster will not be ready for fla's gameplam because of the Different skill set Zaire will bring to the table and Coach JM willingness to open up the offense. Defensively, fla brings in R. Shannon to run the defense. He should have a golden opportunity to confuse a very young offensive line. For all the reasons and more I was confident to Lay 27 Large on the Florida gators +4 vs Michigan. #wrongteamfavored

One sided writeup.

Projected Florida D-line as per Athlons.

Total games played; 51

Total solo tackles; 46

Total tackles for loss; 19

Projected Michigan D-line as per Athlons.

Total games played; 48

Total solo tackles; 46

Total tackles for loss; 26.5

Projected Florida LB's as per Athlons.

Total games played; 38

Total solo tackles; 40

Total tackles for loss; 8

Projected Michigan LB's as per Athlons.

Total games played; 38

Total solo tackles; 51

Total tackles for loss; 1

Projected Florida DB's as per Athlons.

Total games played; 44

Total solo tackles; 61

Projected Michigan DB's as per Athlons.

Total games played; 30

Total solo tackles; 19

Michigan DB's clearly the most inexperienced group here. Rest of both defenses appear equal.

Florida leading returning tackler, Harris, out for the season.

Leading WR Callaway, trouble with law, possible suspension??

Michigan has two seniors, two sophs, and one junior on very young offensive line??, Florida has no seniors on starting O-line, three juniors and two sophs.

Michigan has returning QB, new WR's (Perry still questionable with his legal problems).

Florida has probably new QB with returning WR's, Callaway not a sure bet to play yet.

Michigan has a stable of good running backs (not great).

Florida has good running backs. (no great ones).

Florida has experienced kickers.

Michigan has freshmen kickers.

Digesting all of this tells me Florida has the kicking edge. Florida has the edge with experienced WR's and experienced DB's.

Defensive fronts about the same.

Revenge factor for Florida.

Both teams have no look ahead game.

Personally, I give the coaching edge to Michigan. Big edge!

I see this game as a tossup. Taking the points and Florida would be the only choice here but it is no bet for me.

Expecting the line to drop to a pick'em by game time. Then, maybe a bet on Michigan for me.

uniman I appreciate the input. Do you have a link to the athlon stats you referred to? They're wrong in a number of categories. On the Calloway front, he's receiving inhouse discipline for his weed incident and will be playing (sec media day). Michigan young OLine is young based on just 2 players having meaningful experience while 7 members of gators line has started multiple games. Last but not least J. Scarlett had the best break tackle percentage of any RB in the power 5. #Great conversation

Athlons projected starters.

Player stats obtained from cfbstats.com

Please let us know what number of categories are wrong.

Scarlett avg 5.0 ypc.

Michigans Evans avg 7.0. Higdon 5.9, and Isaac 5.6.

As per Phil Steele.

Now we can go on and on.......competition, record vs ranked teams, turnover ratios, etc, etc.

I agree, right now Florida is the play. Bookieassassin even said Florida gonna kick Michigan's azz.

Overall Michigan appears overvalued right now.

My opinion, Zaire only has two months to grasp this offense. Limited playbook for sure. To me it's a tossup.

Callaway will be playing?? Funny, I search the internet and find no such information. One would think if it was announced he was playing vs Michigan it wouldn't be hard to find on the net???

He probably will play, it's the SEC's way.

that early write up was so heavy for florida its kinda hard to read. i follow recruiting well and do these Florida backers realize how well Harbaugh has recruited.? talent wise florida doesnt match up. thats a small.fact maybe meaningless but a fact. michigan lacks depth like last seasom but talent will bot drop off much and michigans offense will be better.

anyome follow offseason and understand m PEP Hamilton will be callimg offense plays. he wants to.throw more and open up.offens e.

pep was nfl.coach and is pretty well.respected

florida offense will never. e that ezciting because they just domt have the coaching.

hate harbaugh but his staff is incredible imcluding greg mattisom which may jave best d line talent ever! rashan Gary is potentially top nfl pick in 2018!

florida has potential but i mean how can either of us really say one team is. etter at this poimt? i think its a great watch and no play.

i do.agree Florida kickimg game may be difference but then again what about coaching of blue being a bigger edge?

watch and see but stop.with the florida shit.

blue owns florida! just ask tebow and Grossman

Wash away concerns of A. Calloway not playing week 1. @Florida media day today coach Macelwain said "all hands are on deck week 1 vs Michigan."

Disincentive Calloway will not be suspended for his no contest plea, will J. Harbaugh follow the same criteria and allow G. Perry to play after a sexual assault conviction? Perry is a good receiver and an impact player.

perry is ok ans never really been great for Michigan cannot compare to Calloway.

secondly Perry was suspended for bowl game already so he has done his time and probably wont be suspended but he may be

At one time this line was Michigan -5 and in some places it's now down to Michigan -2. Significant line move for a week 1 game.

line moved.....because it was WRONG top begin with....simply getting 'corrected'

* fair line is 2-2' or so......I have it at pick 'em > Mich -1 or so

Those (other) 6....are mostly depth guys (3rd string or lower)....none likely back-ups even...Davis started 5 LY but #3 DE out of spring...Desir -Jones mighta played some

The impediment to action advances action - what stands in the way becomes the way.

Everyone talks about the 11 Michigan players taken in the draft, but 8 others signed free agency contracts. That’s 19 players for 2017 and they only had 18 draft selections in the 6 years combined before Harbaugh. These were not Harbaugh’s recruits, these were the 3 & 4 star players that the previous coaches signed. The one 5 star was Peppers, but others like Darboh, Braden, Chesson, Smith, Stribling, and Godin were only 3 star players. Ryan Glasgow was a walk on. If Hurst and Mason also left that would have been 21 players in a single eayr and they were projected as 1^st and 2^nd round picks. Hurst was a backup last year and the NFL draft had him projected as a first round pick if he came out. These players are being coached up like pro players.

The players stepping in now are the ones Harbaugh and Brown selected for their system. Lewis was a good CB but he was only 5’10. His replacement may be Drake Harris who is 6’4 and runs a 4.4 40. This team will be faster and very hard hitting. They lost a lot of talent but this defense won’t miss a step.
