Pick the Score-Michigan vs UConn
Alright, ladies and gentlemen of MGoBoard, we are two days out from gameday and JJ’s second start of the year. What is your predictions for the outcome of this game?
Going Michigan 49, UConn 10. Predicting another solid performance from JJ and the only reason the score isn’t higher is Harbaugh puts in the backups by the third or fourth quarter. UConn isn’t very intimidating offensively or defensively, but it should give us some more reps to get ready for Big Ten play.
Bonus: What is your upset of the week?
Picking Washington over Sparty 28-21. Michael Penix at QB should test the MSU secondary and I trust the guy that carved up Ohio State’s secondary in 2020 more than Thorne. Also MSU faces their first road game of the season. If the O-Line can give Penix time to throw, I believe they will beat Sparty.

I have 62-7 only because as a Michigan beat-writer (can't remember who) tweeted, I bet the starters get left in a little longer this time around as this is the final tune-up before B1G play begins.
September 15th, 2022 at 1:28 PM ^
A win by Michigan: 52 - 10
September 16th, 2022 at 10:53 AM ^
Thank you for clarifying that it is Michigan that will win by 42 points, not Uconn.

Upset of the week: Auburn over Penn State.
September 15th, 2022 at 5:07 PM ^
Yet that doesnt feel like an upset.
September 15th, 2022 at 10:30 PM ^
I certainly won’t be upset
September 15th, 2022 at 1:34 PM ^
49-10
Picking Washington isn’t an upset, they’re 3.5 point favorites. I put money on the MSU moneyline. It’s a win-win for me; either I win money at good odds if they win or I get to enjoy the schadenfreude if they lose.

Michigan 44 UConn 8. No rhyme or reason but I'm bringing my 87 year old dad and 16 year old son to the game and in recent years when I attend in person it gets weird somehow.
Upset of the week: Iowa will actually score at least 2 TDs against Nevada in their evening 'showdown' at Kinnick. And Nevada will keep the game surprisingly competitive into the second half before the Hawks pull away.
September 15th, 2022 at 3:09 PM ^
After 1: 3-0 iowa
after 2: 5-3 iowa
after 3: 12-3 iowa
final: 21-6 iowa

Texas Tech over NC State.

Pick 6 and punt/kickoff return TD
September 15th, 2022 at 1:43 PM ^
59 - 13 Michigan, Cade leads a couple of TD drives
I’ll take Washington over Sparty, Auburn over Penn State, TAMU over Miami, and Oregon over BYU

September 15th, 2022 at 1:45 PM ^
I'm taking Uconn with the points
September 15th, 2022 at 1:45 PM ^
56-3 Michigan
Upset: Nebraska over Oklahoma. Turns out Scott Frost really was the problem all along.
September 15th, 2022 at 2:01 PM ^
I thought the line would be around 22.5. Since it’s half that, it feels like Vegas knows something the public doesn’t, but I still can’t bet money on Nebraska.
September 15th, 2022 at 1:49 PM ^
223-0.
September 15th, 2022 at 2:28 PM ^
Besting Georgia Tech's 222-0 blowout vs Cumberland College. Gutsy call, Larry.
September 16th, 2022 at 2:19 AM ^
some how i dont see em punting on 1st down ...yes they were actually punting on 1st down ,get the ball and then punt
September 15th, 2022 at 1:51 PM ^
56-3.
Auburn over PSU.
September 15th, 2022 at 1:53 PM ^
35-27 UConn
September 15th, 2022 at 1:56 PM ^
I'm afraid that we have a classic Lloyd game in us: 34-13 but closer than that. Everyone will panic.
Meanwhile, MSU will eek out a win on the road against Washington and the Freep/News headlines will be "MSU CONTINUES TO MOVE UP THE POLLS!!; MICHIGAN SURVIVES ANOTHER OVERMATCHED OPPONENT" and Valenti will demand that MSU leapfrog Michigan.
September 15th, 2022 at 2:21 PM ^
No way - I can see that MAYBE with Maryland, but not UCONN. This team has not played down to an opponent yet.
September 15th, 2022 at 2:48 PM ^
In a pointless prediction thread I'll say to each his own, but I see no way the team that stomped equally bad teams in the 2 prior weeks let's this game be in doubt for more than 5 minutes. Especially with JJ at the helm
September 16th, 2022 at 7:05 AM ^
Who will make a demand?
September 15th, 2022 at 1:56 PM ^
Shut out time…66-0.
September 15th, 2022 at 2:02 PM ^
Going to pick 350-0 every week until it happens.
Auburn over Penn State. Sure, PSU is only favored by 3 and Auburn is down this year, but I have confidence that Frames can find a way to lose.
September 15th, 2022 at 2:11 PM ^
i would happily take a clunky 37-14 type game if it means msu and psu both lose. sadly, i dont see any of those 3 things happening.
60-13
I think our 2nd string D gets even more time because of how poorly they showed out last week. They need reps
September 15th, 2022 at 2:16 PM ^
49-3
Upset: Toledo takes down Ohio and Ryan Day self-immolates
September 15th, 2022 at 7:26 PM ^
Is that hair dye flammable?
September 15th, 2022 at 2:27 PM ^
52-13
September 15th, 2022 at 2:30 PM ^
59-14
starters out by start of 4th
JJ lights it up again ... Sept Heisman
Cade looks better much late 2nd quarter and third quarter ... leads a TD drive or two
Warren impresses .... again
defense lets in a stupid TD play somewhere ... 4th stringers give up a TD
Washington beats Sparty 38-30
ND beats the pants off of Cal to give Freeman his first win of the season (God i hope i'm wrong, to hell with ND and Roll On You Bears)
September 15th, 2022 at 2:32 PM ^
Mich 55-10. We have 42-0 at the half again and coast. Upset of the week - Fresno over USC.
September 15th, 2022 at 2:41 PM ^
42-27…
September 15th, 2022 at 2:42 PM ^
56-10 Uconn is going be slower and run clock but our backups will be more efficient. Same result int eh score though.
September 15th, 2022 at 2:46 PM ^
Bad QB = CSU pt 2
M 61-11
Upset of the week- after Texas had a brief BACK moment last week, they lose to UTSA this week and it all comes crashing back to earth. Also Nevada beats Iowa and Liberty beats Wake
September 15th, 2022 at 2:56 PM ^
55 - 13
