Michigan -21 1/2

[RUbytheshore]

Wonder if Carroo will be back?

 

[RMSko]

I know you rarely see point spreads higher than that, but I'd be shocked if RU covers at the Big House.

 

[RUaMoose]

Ya know I never bet college football but that line is awfully enticing seeing how RU performs on the road against elite teams - heck, above average teams. Don't see this game being much different than Wisconsin.

 

[rutgersdave]

Revenge for last year

 

[OTBOTOR]

Boy. I never bet on CF but that line is a gimme if I've ever seen one.

 

[bac2therac]

is the Michigan QB going to play

I was surprised that Michigan gave up so many points to Minny but it was a rivalry game and Minny was playing for Kill.

I cant imagine the RU offense suddenly waking up so that they could cover the spread

How did we end up back in 2000?

Michigan State - HUGE rivalry game, forget that one
Minnesota - HUGE rivalry, as well, and the "Jerry Kill" game, forget that one

..we won't score against them via sustained drives. We'll need LC and a big play or 2 just to get to 10 points IMHO.

I'm remember people in the beginning of the year actually putting this in the win column for Rutgers saying Harbaugh wouldn't make a difference.

This, MSU...Wisconsin was a "very winnable" game, lol, as is Nebraska. Can't wait for the posts during game week 7 days from now!

This may have been before the defensive secondary was arrested, Darius was out for the season, Barnwell didn't qualify, Turay was injured and Flood went undercover.

Also, Harbaugh can coach, but he also inherited a shit-ton of returning starters. He'll be able to re-stock the cupboard because it's Michigan and he has the pedigree, but he had a lot of talent to work with.

Well to start with, we'llscore zero.

- injuries happen to every team, unfortunately

- our secondary was awful last year. Not sure why everybody keeps thinking we would be doing so much better had those guys been playing.

[WhiteBus]

We knew Michigan had talent. People just hate Harbaugh.

 

[newell138]

If you took Rutgers and the 21.5 points... YOU LOST!

 

[biazza38]

21.5?!? That's it?!?

Really having trouble w the personal animosity to Harbaugh, only thing I can think of, people are jealous that Michigan was able to convice him to come back and leave the NFL, or entertain any other offers. He's the best 5 mil the Mi athletic dept ever agreed to and doubt if that figure would have been offered to any other app.

 

[brgossRU90]

If you gave rutgers all the points it really needs, like 42 or 49, nobody would pick michigan.

 

[MikeR0102]

Bet the farm.

I know I'm going out on a limb here, but I'll take "Someone whose name sounds like Lyle Blood" for $500.00, Alex. ;-)

Of course...but the line should be 29 or 30.

Sacrificed an entire program to save one recruiting class.
