MICH vs FSU Predictions

UM 38 - FSU 13

It will be 13-10, us, at the half. Halftime adjusments shoot us ahead while our D-line mauls the pathetic line of Florida St. Cook breaks out early, but stopped shortly after midway through the second.

Michigan 34-18

41-12 good guys.

35-14 Michigan FSU safeties are weak and can be beaten

I have this feeling FSU 33-30 in overtime.  

Michigan struggles to run, setting up some obvious passing situations, and their line gets to Speight a few times.  Cook takes a screen or swing pass for like a 60 yard touchdown, just barely outrunning Peppers coming from across to field trying  to make a tackle.  

In overtime, a sack forces a long Kenny Allen field goal, and they score on a throw by Francois.  

Michigan 42 FSU 10 Then Bama rolls UW and everyone dreams about what would a game would've looked like between Bama and Michigan Beat em up boys

Pessimistic. Think FSU is thrilled to be here and M is disappointed. Virtually an FSU home game. FSU wins.

If we have a balanced attack, 24-10.  If we have to rely on our passing game, 17-10 FSU.  How's that for covering one's ass?

I am admittedly pessimistic. I wish I could be more hopeful, but we seem to be limping into this game; whereas, FSU looked really good in November. I just hope it's close and I obviously hope we win. But if FSU gets ahead early with an explosive play or two, it could get ugly...

Michigan comes out and stomps FSU ala Florida last year. This is a beatdown and FSU goes home crying to mommy after putting up 7 points early for

I apologize if I missed this, but why is Michigan the away team? In all the other bowl games, the higher ranked team is the home team. Not that it matters all that much, but I wanted to see the prettiest uniforms in all of sports one last time in 2016.

Cook breaks off a couple of big runs for the Seminoles but is chased down from behind by Peppers, saving the touchdowns and holding them to field goals. Otherwise, UM's defensive line overwhelms FSU's porous O-line. A healthy Speight keeps the turnovers to a minimum and connects on a couple of long balls. UM 27 FSU 13. Go Blue!

Tough, defensive slugfest, and closer than anyone would like it to be. This ain't gonna be no blowout on either side. 

Cook does Cook things and breaks off a few big runs, but FSU's offense is held largely in check for most of the night. Don Brown knows that team, and that's a big advantage. Francois spends most of the night running for dear life as his OL can't protect him from arguably the best, deepest DL in football. Lewis locks down his side of the field. 

Speight finally looks healthy, and while he doesn't have an awe-inspiring game (I'm expecting at least a sack or two from DeMarcus Walker), he takes care of the ball, and provides enough points for the defense to carry the team the rest of the way. 

Peppers takes one more punt to the house before heading off to the pros. Harbaugh goes 2-0 at the Orange Bowl. 

31-27 good guys.
