The Badgers are off to a 3-0 start in what was considered to be a rebuilding year, but this is the first time they are stepping up in class this season after playing Bowling Green, Temple and North Carolina to start this year. I felt that Michigan's top 5 ranking to start the season was way to high, but they are a top 20 team and should be able to get past the Badgers here. Michigan has won the last six meetings between these two teams and they have won 23 straight Big Ten openers. The Michigan offense struggled the first two games of the season before having a break out game with a 55-0 trouncing of Eastern Michigan last Saturday. I think the Wolverines offense will be effective in this game as well as Michigan's receivers should be able to blow past a struggling Badger pass defense that is allowing 265 passing yards per game and was torched by Bowling Greens passing game in their season opener. On the other side of the ball, Wisconsin quarterback John Stocco has been very effective so far this season, but he has played against some of the worst defenses in the country and has not faced any kind of pressure. The best defense that the Badgers have faced is the North Carolina defense that is ranked #74 in the country and they held Wisconsin to only 14 points. Stocco and the Wisconsin offense are in for a very stiff test from the Michigan defense that is #1 in the Big Ten in total defense and #14 in the nation. They will rattle Stocco into making mistakes like he did last season when he completed only 52.6% of his passes and threw nine touchdowns and seven interceptions.Michigan used last weeks romp over Eastern Michigan as a tune up game and they are 3-1 against the spread after a win by 35 points or more and 2-0 against the spread the last two games after scoring 50 points or more in a game. I think we have some good value in this line and I'll lay the small number!

I really like the Wolves alot here,so i will make it a fairly large play.

Last Saturday i played to many games,so i will just
go with 1 for the money.

Enjoy the games.

Like the play, Soul Train.

In addition to what you said, Michigan is undefeated in conf openers since 1981 (23 years!).

Only one worry: This has nothing to do with X's and O's, but Wisky is playing its last night game for Alvarez. The crowd will have been drinking since 9am and by 6pm kickoff they will be rabid and take no prisoners. :mj14:

Sorry, I had to work that joke in somehow. Love the Wolverines here. gl ST!

i still think i'm gonna play wisconsin really small, just because, but not gonna pound it, actaully don't see any game I really like so far. I think it might be UTEP though.

Well,i have been waiting all day for this
game :mj14: ...and yes i have stuck to my guns
and not made a play in any of the earlier
games. :)
But besides the michigan play,i have noticed
the line in the USC game is down to 19 at
some places.It started out at 21.5 at various
books early in the week.
My book is at 19.5..I am in love with the Ducks
in this game...If you ask me 19-20 looks kind
of easy for a USC cover,winning by 3 TDS
is common for this team,even though it is a road game you would think this high powered offense
would be laying more then 3 TDS.


THE DUCKS ARE THE PLAY HERE FOR SURE..
I FEEL REAL GOOD ABOUT THE PLAY...
I LOOK FOR A TIGHT GAME FOR MOST OF THE GAME AND I SEE THE TROJANS PULLING AWAY IN THE END TO WIN BY NO MORE THEN 15 POINTS..

ENJOY THE NIGHT GAMES FELLOWS :mj14:

Huge line movement on that game which had Michigan -2.5 last night, down to Michigan-1 at noon est today and now at 6:00pm est the Wolverines are -3.5...I'm staying away from this one but was leaning toward the Badgers before the line movement.

Good Luck on your Play!
