Michigan will be a top 10 team when this season is over.....I think they have the best defense in CFB and while its better than it was last season Jim Hardbaugh did not make it that much better.....Jim Hardbaugh did not have to bring in talent to Michigan, it was already there...He did have to tweak it a little but did not have to go so far as to develop it...Jim Hardbaugh did not have to bring in and develop a winning culture to Michigan, it was already there...He just had to dust it off and remind people what it felt like to win....What Jim Hardbaugh brought with him that Michigan needed was a tall glass of confidence with a splash of energy and I'm not sure what the ABV is for that particular beverage but its got Maize and Blue nation hammered.....This team is rolling right now and is playing the most dominant football in the nation......In the last 15 QTRS of football Michigan has outscored their competition 119 -7........No, thats not an error........When I capped the Utah Michigan game in week 1 I knew Michigan was loaded but I took Utah and I said I thought Harbaugh would need a half season to get this team turned around and start playing good football......Well I was right on the Utah pick but it only took 5 QTRS off football too get this team playing the best football in the country......Props to Northwestern as they themselves are having a breakout year and no disrespect to them but they are in over their heads in this Big 10 showdown......Michigan will be a handful for anybody playing them ecspecially in the Big House..I would give Northwestern a shot if this game was in Illonois......Its going to take a special offense to beat this Wolverine squad and while N.W is a very strong overall team their offense is not special nor exsplosive .I dont think that Michigan will shut out their 3rd opponent in a row as that Northwesten "D" is strong themselves and should give their offense a few short fields but they wont score much thats for sure and if they did shut out their 3rd staright team I would not be that shocked.......I see Michigan winning this one 28-10.

Looking further at this game Northwestern is only averaging 142 YDS a game passing the ball and the MICH defense is only allowing 2.3 YDS per carry vs the rush....Its just really hard to see how Northwestern is going to move the ball at any kind of regular basis.....On the other side Jake Rudock and his recievers are getting more comfortable wih Hardbaughs pro-style offense as the season progresses....Northwestern does have a very good defense but its not as good as Michigans and Michigan offense a lot more dangerous, capable and more exsplosive than Northwesterns who play a lot more conservative leaning on heir defense and short fields......This just seems to be a very bad match-up for N.W. and on top of it they will be playing in a very loud hostile enviroment.....Loving Michigan here.

Mich a tuff opponent to beat, but not b/c of their offensive weapons, but b/c of their defense, their pass rush and run stop linemen who are all 22 yr old seniors. Tuff task for Wildcats. I see a 4th and goal stop or a special teams play deciding both the spread and game.

Mike I see Michigan winning but 8 points in this type of game is like a 14 point spread. This could easily be a 17-10 or 21-17 type of game. I am not saying you are wrong because if I had to take someone it would be Michigan but I think there are better games out there

Interested to see how the NU run D plays the Mich run. It's the first real run D they've seen since Utah and a better one and where Mich is getting all their yards. Mich may have pulled it out at Utah or at least covered if not for -2 in TO's including a pick 6, but I still like the prospect of the underdog in this matchup and especially at over a score where i've got em. I also don't think Utah to NU spread is a 12.5 pt swing, or in actual points would need to be a 17.5 swing for a Mich cover, even after considering the inept pass attack. Thorston can scramble for yards after dropping back and think they get enough 3rd downs, grind the clock and Mich just wont have enough time to hit the mark in the end. - Can't wait to see this very interesting matchup.

I said Michigan was a top 10 team.......They have now outscored their opponents 147 - 7 in their last 17 QTRS of football..........They are better defensive team, better offensive team and have more talent on special teams than NW........
But I did not see this coming 28-0 at HT?
Another half to play and Michigan has been known to turn the ball over like crazy so Im not counting my money yet.
I liked Michigan to win by 17 -21 because I just could not see NW moving the ball as they are playing against the best run "D" in football and they have no passing game...

Half of his interceptions were in one game against Utah. Which if u watched 2 were bs.
2 were the fault of the WR, 1 was a great play by Utah.......
He only threw 5 INTS last year but in his first year starting with Iowa he threw 13.......He will settle in and play better the more he and his WR''s get used to Hardbaughs pro style offense........Michigan should just get better as the year goes on which is scary.
