Would you say that the Boston College defense is "elite"? They are ranked ahead of UM. Other teams are also up there who have not played a tough schedule.<br /><br />Maybe you should go write for Maize-and-Brew? We are giving opinions that DIFFER FROM the Mainstream Media, we don't just parrot what we hear all the sports-geeks carrying on about. Since UM is favored, naturally we offer reasons TO THE CONTRARY. Can you comprehend that, or should we assign you a tutor in study hall to work on it for awhile?<br /><br />Seriously, what did you expect us to do, look at the Vegas Line and throw up our hands and shut down the web site? Beg for mercy? Change sides?<br /><br />You didn't read very carefully if you think we said "MSU should be favored". Never said that. Here, take a look into our crystal ball and you will see that on Friday, two days from now, I will announce that this game is a TOSS-UP. Neither team should be favored, and certainly not by 8-10 points. I will further recommend that Spartans everywhere TAKE THE POINTS as they are a gift from the Bluebloods.<br /><br />We have actually spent YEARS "poking" the weasel, not just last summer. That's exactly what this web site was designed to do, and it's what it does, every season and off-season. We don't change what we do just because they change coaches.<br /><br />I had the over-under for UM's season this year at 8.5 wins, with an equal chance at winning either 8 games or 9 games. They are right on pace, even with a loss on Saturday. I assumed a likely win for MSU in this game before the season, now I see it as a toss-up but only due to Reason #2 on your list. Without the injuries, it's a two touchdown win for MSU. But now, due to that factor, it's a TOSS-UP.<br /><br />Would you like to place a bet on the game, "Bill"? If so, which side would you take?American Reporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053609741082503574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160896203399392588.post-44102953925885450772015-10-14T17:43:30.209-04:002015-10-14T17:43:30.209-04:00Why would UofM be favored in this game?

Michigan's defense is elite (despite what you want people to think)<br />5. Michigan's offensive line has made a huge leap since last year.<br /><br />Definitely give the edge to MSU when it comes to QB. In fact I think Cook is the Spartan's best shot at beating Michigan. But the better question may be, "Why does Dump the Chumps think MSU should be favored?"<br /><br />You spent the whole offseason poking the bear, and as it turns out the bear learned how to play football.
