Michigan -13.5 or the second half....
final score.....
Michigan 59
Sparty 10
(Halftime score....
Michigan 35
Sparty 0)
Michigan covers both halves
October 25th, 2020 at 8:02 PM ^
Harbaugh needs to be relentless. Score fast. Score quick. Keep on scoring and do not stop till the final whistle. Bury MSU with points till recruits ? from the site of stench from EL.
October 25th, 2020 at 8:18 PM ^
Rutger just hung 38 points on them! We should be able to put 70 on them if Rutger can do that to their D.
October 25th, 2020 at 8:21 PM ^
All your disrespekt are belong to us.

“They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind.”
UM 58 staee 16
October 25th, 2020 at 8:54 PM ^
I want 70.
70 - 3
October 25th, 2020 at 8:56 PM ^
Over/under on number of times an MSU player is caught on tape spitting/sneezing/coughing on Michigan players?
October 25th, 2020 at 9:00 PM ^
But-but-but they won 4 straight!
October 25th, 2020 at 9:15 PM ^
State sucks, but we cannot assume we get 7 turnovers like Rutgers got. I expect a comfortable win, but it is too early in the season to be gloating about blowouts before they happen.
October 26th, 2020 at 4:10 PM ^
And Sparty kickoffs and punts aren't likely to hand us roughly 20 yards of field position per attempt either.
October 25th, 2020 at 9:26 PM ^
For all the references over the last 15 years to them as "little brother" they're certainly not my little brother.
And if they had actually been my little brother, I would have disowned them decades ago.
October 25th, 2020 at 9:36 PM ^
I kinda doubt we will beat them by fewer than we did last year
October 25th, 2020 at 10:12 PM ^
I put some on MSU at 25.5. That’s insanely high for a rivalry that has been competitive.
October 25th, 2020 at 11:51 PM ^
Checks score of this game last year...
Checks scores of games yesterday...
Seems pretty low to me.
October 26th, 2020 at 4:57 PM ^
I am looking at about the last 5 years. People are likely Over-hyped on us, and under-hyped on MSU. There are still a lot of kids on that team that were there for the competitive years.
Don't get me wrong, MSU is bad, and we are at least good. I am just going with the numbers here. Line is already moving down a bit, so we will see. I see us winning by something like 17-21 points.
October 26th, 2020 at 5:33 PM ^
Nah any remnant of what MSU had is gone, they are at rock bottom. You can get up emotionally all you want but it's not going to make up for that level of suck or disparity in talent. Most of MSU wins in the last 10 years have actually come when they had the better team or the teams were near even at the end of the year.
October 25th, 2020 at 10:42 PM ^
25.5 favorites...is that all?
October 25th, 2020 at 10:50 PM ^
Stay healthy, and beware of 60 minutes of unnecessary roughness.
October 25th, 2020 at 10:56 PM ^
I want M to win by as many points as it takes for them to stop playing football. I'm a little extra bitter for how they treated the swimmers (family friend WAS a swimmer there). It's time for Chicago to request their membership charter be returned.
October 25th, 2020 at 10:57 PM ^
Like old times.
October 26th, 2020 at 12:14 AM ^
Sparty doesn't look very good. Predict it will be somewhat close at the half however the 2nd half will be all Michigan with a final score of 51-23
October 26th, 2020 at 1:15 AM ^
Halftime score Michigan (35-42) Sparty 7
Michigan then brings Milton in for 1 drive in the 3rd quarter and then hands it off to Cade for the rest of the game. With Sparty having a history of rough dirty play in games they have lost don't want to risk too many starters so you bring in 2nd and 3rd teamers and from there basically play even with them.
52-17 Final.

I want to see this offense explode on sparty, when we have a big lead, I would like Joe to improve on his long ball throws to hit our downfield WR in stride. MSU will complain we ran up the score on them but Joe just needs some more long ball experience. I hope we score 80 on them.
October 26th, 2020 at 4:33 AM ^
The last time Michigan scored 50 or more points against MSU was the national championship year of 1947, when we pounded them 55-0.
October 26th, 2020 at 4:12 PM ^
Yeah, but 49-3 was pretty tasty vengeance in 2002 for the Spartan Bob screw job.
October 26th, 2020 at 6:09 AM ^
prediction - we’re up 28 midway through the fourth, and they scrabble together a cheap drive for a late field goal to cover. dignity achieved.
the other alternative - harbaugh keeps his foot on the gas for 60 minutes of unnecessary roughness, spreads the offense around even more than this past week, and we win by fitty.
either way - TAKE THE OVER.
October 26th, 2020 at 7:11 AM ^
I really want to cover and then some
October 26th, 2020 at 8:48 AM ^
Please don’t let up. Score 100
October 26th, 2020 at 9:37 AM ^
I just hope we don't have any sort of a let down after a great game Saturday. lil bro will probably play harder this week than any other game this season.
lets win by a couple scores, anything more is icing on the cake
October 26th, 2020 at 9:50 AM ^
Big spread or not somehow I feel like the days of looking past Sparty are behind us. The team will be prepared.
October 26th, 2020 at 10:10 AM ^
I just checked out THE Ohio State University schedule and after this week's game against PSU, Indiana will be their next toughest game, followed by the dregs of the B1G, leading up to the last week showdown.
That will be one advantage for UM, having faced 3 top 25 teams.
As the saying goes, steel sharpens steel, cupcakes sharpen ________? Fill in the blank.
October 26th, 2020 at 10:20 AM ^
Got to play them as they are stacked.
October 26th, 2020 at 3:04 PM ^
Yes, OSU has a very easy schedule. Penn State and Michigan are the only real opponents.
It will likely end up that they will play only 3 teams that finish above .500--Michigan, Penn State and IU.
All because OSU got two very easy cross conference games, Nebraska and Illinois.
Meanwhile...Michigan got the two best teams in the Big Ten West--Minnesota and Wisconsin.
October 27th, 2020 at 9:01 AM ^
If Mertz is out Wisconsin will not be near the challenge.
Minnesota’s defense with eight starters to replace was just awful and missing their two OL starters and punter definitely changed the game. They were lucky to be 11-2 last year.
Maybe the crazy football Gods have decided to give back to Michigan some of what they have taken.
October 26th, 2020 at 4:14 PM ^
{ball lifters}
That's my best fill in the blank guess, given it's OSU.
October 26th, 2020 at 10:21 AM ^
I'll lay anything under 31.5. We won by 34 last year. I feel like we are better offensively and they are worse.
October 26th, 2020 at 10:24 AM ^
While we looked really good and MSU looked terrible, I'm not getting over confident because anything can happen with a rivalry game. I just have this feeling people are getting over confident and setting ourselves up to be embarrassed
With that being said, I hope we give MSU no mercy, run up the score, and set the tone for the Mel Tucker tenure at MSU. Embarrass them and make Rayshaun Benny and future in-state recruit's decisions easy
October 26th, 2020 at 10:41 AM ^
It's hard to feel overly confident having seen very little actual football from either team, but if there's one thing Dantonio and his roid ragers were good at, it was ramping up the disrespekt factor that constantly fueled them against us. I don't think Mel is going to be able to churn up that same level of petulance like Mork who absolutely lived the disrespected little brother mentality. I suspect MSU's program will tail off into the pre-Dantonio malaise
Wouldn't surprise me if this one was kinda close early (Lombardi did pass for a ton of yards vs Rutgers) but I suspect we pull away again. 45-17
October 26th, 2020 at 5:37 PM ^
People put too much stock in the disrespect thing. The fact of the matter is most of Sparty's wins under Mork came when they were actually the better team or the teams were at least close. Last year showed what happens when there is a wide gulf in talent.
October 26th, 2020 at 12:06 PM ^
Michigan should be able to cover this. I'd love to see our defense score a TD or two in addition to an offense onslaught. Go Blue!
October 26th, 2020 at 12:19 PM ^
This line is lower than UM's one against Rutgers last season, so I guess that's one thing MSU can be slightly optimistic about. Just don't look at the final score.
October 26th, 2020 at 1:24 PM ^
Does anyone know the percentage of MSU covering on this game? I gotta think it is, unfortunately, very high. Could make a living betting them to cover I would suspect.
October 26th, 2020 at 2:03 PM ^
I like it ..... I just want the players to be hungry and not think this will be a cake walk just because Rutgers beat them. Full throttle please and don't let up!
October 26th, 2020 at 2:50 PM ^
Wow, I didn't know there was an actual link to free money. M by 40.
October 26th, 2020 at 2:57 PM ^
I do not expect M to cover for two reasons...
1. MSU won't commit 7 turnovers, so they are not as bad as they looked against Rutgers. MSU is not good. But they are probably better than they looked last Saturday.
2. Covering such a huge spread is always iffy because the game is usually decided fairly early and the leader takes the foot off the gas and puts in lots of 2nd and third string guys for large parts of the 4th. Final score can end up looking less dominant than what actually happened when the 1s were on the field.
October 26th, 2020 at 3:27 PM ^
I'll take a 3-2 win. Just WIN.
October 26th, 2020 at 4:42 PM ^
Michigan State is not going to turn the ball over 7 times on Saturday.
Luckily I am sure our players are not taking this game anywhere near as lightly as our fanbase is.
October 26th, 2020 at 5:21 PM ^
Usually for this game I always think its going to be a lot closer than vegas thinks...but as of now, after watching both games intently last saturday....this is accurate spread.
