Michigan (+7) vs. Alabama (Capital One).
Fucking long on biting humor, short on good, match-up analysis ..... although the conclusion is probably spot on. The Tide will roll.
Look, a healthy Patterson can ball. Gattis is coming into his own and with that and a receiver room that is, well, not as good as Alabama's but, good enough, M's O will make some big plays. I actually think M's OL will give Patterson the time he needs and he can hit receivers given where Alabama's "decimated" (AA's term, not mine) defense is. So, yeah, the trick here is for M to score more points than UAT because ......
........ Harris is going to crush it. Mostly. And that is another trick for M in winning this game. Get the Alabama offense off the field on the regular. If The Nick is able to dictate how this game is played with Harris churning out yards, M will lose and not by just a little. So, my analysis goes back to osu and how Brown wrongly lined up v. day and decided to sell out to stop fields. Brown. v. Alabama and The Nick needs to be a different story and that is to sell out to stop Najee...... and of course then the back-up, Mac Jones, will have the best game of his career. This is the curse of M football.
The line hasn't changed in any significant way since DB Trevon Diggs and LB Terrell Lewis decided to sit out. The spread is 7 with Alabama at 64% and M at 35% to cover. It's been that way since the current open.The OU is 59 with the over at 61%, under at 39%. This did move a little to the over after Diggs and Lewis announced they were sitting. Michigan is 1-6 SU against the spread in post season play as the dog.
From the OddsShark analysis:
Michigan is a staggering 0-16 SU and 7-9 ATS in its last 16 games as an underdog. Harbaugh has built the Wolverines back up into a consistently winning program, but at some point, Michigan needs to start winning tough games if it hopes to become a real national contender again.
THIS.
Who's more ready, practiced and focused to win this game? If Harbaugh's history against good teams is an indicator, M will have it's ass kicked ...... frankly, I don't see it any differently. History may not dictate future events but we're human and should learn from it. My expectations are low. I'll be there and I keep thinking, if I'm really learning form history, why do I keep doing this? I'll have to say it's probably Bo Schembechler's fault. I have to blame someone!
Something like Alabama over M, 48-33 and that weird score for M is because JH will certainly try some weird play that will be badly executed and blow up his ass.
