37 - 34 MICHIGAN.

I could be ok with that

State has outplayed Michigan quite often recently .... and State has found a way to lose the game. The Edwards domination and Manningham catch come to mind.

Should be very fun and entertaining game.

DanO, how do you think State's defense compares to the other defenses Michigan has played so far?

States defense didn't look so hot against a mobile QB when playing ND. Not terrible but not great... and DR is obviously a whole different level of QB mobility. But State has been pretty solid against the run... its going to be very interesting.

I just found the idea that this coming game would have BCS implications to be rather silly when a far superior team is going to destroy both of them without much trouble in the near future.

MSU misses Ohio State this year I think

"All right Dano $100.00 even up I got MSU"
-----------------------You're shitting right??? If not I was. I'm pretty confident in a UM win but I can't afford to be throwing around money like that.

MSU has been decent against the run CL but UM doesn't have a "run" game. They have a running QB. A GREAT running QB. MSU db's are below average and I think Shoelace is going to have some nice yardage thriugh the air in this one as well as on the ground.

GO LIONS "10" !!!!!!!!!!

What about special teams? You know MSU has a huge advantage there.

Could be the difference.

[Masspartan]

Didn't read any of this but UM wins this game and I'll put my money where my mouth is. MSU's defense SUCKS and I don't see their offense outscoring UM's. Maybe I'm wrong but I have a really good feelling about this game.

GO LIONS "10" !!!!!!!!!!

So you won't be putting your money where your mouth is?

[DanO]

Sure-------------$10.00. Nothing foolish.

GO LIONS "10" !!!!!!!!!!!

How about the $7.33 left on a gift card to zingermans someone gave me?

[DanO]

GO LIONS "10" !!!!!!!!!!
