Penn State vs. Michigan

[jacobtree]

First of all. Penn State is number 3! I never thought I wold be saying that this year.

What is every ones thought on Penn State -24. Yes we are on fire this year, and I think for should/will win this game. But for the past 9games Michigan has had Penn States number.

I'm going Penn State. Here's my write-up from a different thread:

Michigan @ Penn State (-24) (BEST BET)
There’s no way I can, in all good conscience, take the Wolverines here. I took them last week to cover the 17-point spread against Toledo and then sat and watched that game incredibly embarrassed all game long. Let’s say it’s a rebuilding year for the Wolverines and move on. They have a new coach, a new system, and young players all over the field. Sam McGuffie has been impressive but he has very little help offensively. The Wolverines figure to get Martavious Odoms back this week to play alongside Greg Matthews. This will help them, but it won’t be enough.

The Penn State Nittany Lions are absolutely stacked this year. They are too many weapons offensively: Darryl Clark, Evan Royster, Stephon Green, Derrick Williams, Jordan Norwood, and Deon Butler. Hell, their backup quarterback Pat Devlin would be the starter hands down on Michigan. They just put a beat down on Wisconsin in Madison that nobody is supposed to put on Wisconsin in Madison.

With Oklahoma, Missouri, and LSU all losing last week people are finally starting to mention Penn State in the National Championship talk. They want to prove that they are for real and deserve to be included in those talks. They will do just that this Saturday, in front of an ABC audience by destroying Michigan. Ignore the large spread and take Penn State to cover.

Psu @ Ohs Next Week.....watch Out For The Backdoor Cover

Michigan has some key players that are questionable for Saturday. Line is a little inflated IMO b/c of it.

Michigan, although terrible, getting 24 is a joke. I'll be on Michigan this week.

As poor as Michigan's offense is, they could definitely get shut out here. It's Penn state or pass.

Michigan = Wiscy and on the road. PSU is possessed so far and really Im not worried about the backdoor because they'll score 40 on michigan. It's not a game I'd play heavy, but I'm playing and laying the 23.

 

[CrapGame]

Penn St can cover the 24.
Penn St 2nd team in the 4th quarter can keep Mich from putting up any big points.

Penn St. is on fire.

penn st the play

 

[Mikeyz450]

My book opened up at -24 for Penn st and now its at -23.5. Do you think it keeps going down or has a chance of actually going back up? I'm temped to buy it now

 

[FairWarning]

Michigan has not improved one bit this year. Penn St can name this score.

 

[TheNoob]

I have two concerns :

1. What if they look ahead to next week, will they be focused enough to caver 24? They will win, this I am very confident in...but by how much?

2. Will PSU pull the starters early to rest/protect them for the biggest game of the year next week? If so the back door will be wide open for Michigan.

My opinion is pass, to many variables that cannot be handicapped in this game.

 

[OTK]

I'm hoping they win by 40+ this week to give me a good line against the Buckeyes.

 

[awmllc2000]

I say michigan is the play here.

Last year? How do you get last year confused with '05? And there was no time left on the clock. Not two seconds.

 

[DETROIT911]

Still penn state got screwed what ever year it was

Pretty hard to look past a team who beat you nine straight. Point 2 is very realistic. I am very interested in the Michigan team total under at the right number.

-23.5 / 47.5 penn state t.t. 35.5 / michigan t.t. 12

66/45/45/38-----penn states team totals at home ytd.

i believe penn state will score points. they should have
about 28 pts by halftime. if you think they let up after
halftime, not gonna happen. izz gonna get u.g.l.y.. i'm
betting on the team total for penn state when it comes
out. 4:30 start, finishing under the lights.
