The spread as of today has M as a 3.5 point dog. USC opened up as a 6.5 point favorite. Adjusted for the vigorish (at -2.5), USC has a 54.7% implied win rate. Sportsbooks line Michigan with a 45.3% implied probability to win the game.
I think we saw yesterday the final product that is M's team 144's offense and defense. The offense is un-fixably hindered by QB recruiting and management going back at least two consecutive classes. How the fuck did that happen? The defense is vulnerable. It's in the hands of DC who looks like a paternalistic mercy hire and has not yet figured out how to manage a CFB defense composed of 18-21 yo college football players. Team 144 is not a top 25 team and with a USC loss at home will drop out.
My early score prediction based on today's spread that has previously been all over the place:
USC 27, Michigan 24
