Right up there with ND getting robbed in 93.

BTW, I ****ing dare anyone to tell me these bets are not free!
I know what you're doing you SOAB. take it back!

As far as the national title, if Penn State takes care of business they can lose to Ohio State and still get in the playoffs. Then when you factor in the reality that the "SEC is really good" narrative has finally died, Penn State has as good of a chance as any of the top contenders. Although that's not really saying much given that Penn State does have the best QB in the country, veteran talent everywhere, with the best athlete since Barry suiting up every Saturday.
Hey, you ****ing dared me

Ha! Well it's not like I can bet michigan man. Odds are at +1550. What a total rip off. Should be +5000. A michigan team that lost damn near their whole defense is getting significantly worse odds than this fully loaded Penn State squad. Talk about a gross market inefficiency.

PSU would need a LOT of help to make the playoffs with a loss to OSU.

One of the most ridiculous lines I've seen in the history of college football. It's almost as if they forgot that Hoke is not coaching anymore.

I hope you pounded it because it's already way down to 9, which I bet still drops a little more by game time. How bad could UM be?

Jesus Christ what a huge move. I missed out on all of that, but the thing is it doesn't matter this time a year. This time of year they never let you bet that much which is smart. They're not gonna let anyone pound a soft market. Closer to game time you can bet $10K or whatever on a game cuz markets are so efficient by then they know you're taking the worst of it.

My "expert" gut had Penn state at -7.5, so the line is already in line now. Anywhere from 7.5 to 9.5 is basically the same thing.

If Michigan holds Barkley under 200 yards rushing they will win the game straight up. That's the formula. That should be the battle cry all throughout practice week. "Under 200!!!" Problem is, Michigan won't hold Barkley under 200. It's gonna get ugly. This is the worst time for a young defense to play the best RB in a generation. The DL will hold up decently in the 1H tho, holding Barkley to something like 70ish yards, but they'll wear down in the 2H.

PS: I suspect no fan base is more ignorant on how good Barkley is than Michigan fans given that our elite D vs PSU's horrible to mediocre OL has shut Barkley down twice. I keep trying to tell my dad how special he is and he's always like "meh, we handled him pretty good."

I mean this ****ing run is just so sick. Dude moves sideways better than most backs in the country move forward:

Really sad to go 2/2 on this one.

Most excited I have been for a season in quite a while. We got legit playoff equity this year boys.

Basically, we have to beat OSU in Columbus, so not that much equity. We'll probably only be 20-30% to win there. We also have 5 B1G away games instead of 4 which makes it tougher. Drawing Neb, NW, and Iowa from the west could have been easier too.

If you lose to OSU, and beat all the other teams where we are favored, we need them to lose twice in the B1G. That has not happened yet in Urban's tenure.

Last year's schedule was just set up so much better. I'm thinking next year will be better chance for playoffs getting OSU at home and only having 4 B1G away games. No Saquon though...

Getting past OSU on the road is no joke. They are also better than 1994.

Stop trashing Penn State 1994. Seriously. The 3 best teams this hallowed conference has EVER had (in no particular order):

Michigan 1997
Penn State 1994
Ohio State 2015

Have no clue who wins in any matchup. I've daydreamed about Michigan 97 playing Penn State 94 a lot tho.

Also, after seeing what Michigan just did, I'm not sure how you guys can have high hopes for this season. The talk should not be "is this team better than 94" but rather, will you guys be a better Citrus bowl team than Bama 2010.

Get a hold of yourselves guys. It's embarrassing.

Up to #4 this week! We are going to beat Pitt by at least 30. This game is personal to the staff.

Florida had about the 111th ranked offense last year. I'll reserve judgement for UM until later. Pretty confident PSU will be favored in the UM matchup this year.

Who is favored? Didn't Pitt blow out Penn State last year?

I suck. Michigan sucks. Penn State should be favored by 14 at least. We only scored 2 offensive TDs vs Cincinnati. It's over.

PS: Franklin is such a boss. Akron. Lol
