Who the fck is Michigan to be laying 24 to anybody right now?? Let’s look at some scores here
33-17 vs Florida. Ok nice I respect Florida’s defense but still doesn’t cover 24
36-14 vs cincy ok but still no cover of 24 and mich was -32 here
29-13 vs Air Force and mich was -23 here
28-10 vs purdue.
10-14 loss vs Mich St. Wtf
Barely beat Indiana 27-20
Got demolished by Penn State and scored 13
With the exception to the shutout to Ohio St, rutgers hasn’t even lost by 24 this year. Rutgers can get shut out vs Mich and still cover.rutgers D showed heart last week. Mich probably won’t even score 24 let alone cover 24. What kind of cocaine are the oddsmakers smoking with this one?
Rutgers +24 for me. Put 2u on it but may make it a large bet later bol to all

Defense will need to score to cover IMO. Will probably shy away from the game because I am mush when betting on Rutgers games no matter which side. Can also see Harbaugh up 20 drawing up a flea flicker in the 4th just because.

Lots of peeps on Rutgers after the Michigan - Penn ST game.
I think the Michigan offense will come alive here - partly due to great field position created by the great Michigan defense VS the terrible Rutgers offense.
Guys - please tell me how Rutgers scores in this game cuz I just dont
see it....Now Im not sayin Michigan will win 78-0 like last year in this
match-up but there is no way this game is not a blowout..........
Rutgers
is barely AVG 300 YPG - They have a much worse offense than Michigan and the top 5 MICH "D" is only allowing 264 YDS
per game - even after the PENN ST debacle............Rutgers simply wont be able to move the ball giving the Michigan offense a lot of short fields to work with........
There was a lot of high expectations for Michigan this year which is why everybody is under the impression they are a bad team this season - they are not.........This line is about right where it should be..........I think they come out this week and blow out a much less talented Rutgers team.
I also see a few turnovers and possibly defensive score for Michigan Bad spot for Rutgers here at the Big House.
Michigan 41 Rutgers 7
GL this week Trey

Nice write up mike. May just keep this bet at 2u. This isn’t a bet based on an overreaction of last week. I’m really buying into Rutgers here. I see what you are saying but I think Rutgers should be able to matriculate enough in the passing game to muster up 10-13 points. I don’t see this Mich D scoring over 30. O’Korn isn’t all that accurate. I say 27-10ish. But we’ll see. Bol

Good point B. I’m not one of those guys that thinks every loss vs a team prior is a revenge game but 78-0 will make them lost respectfully. I love Rutgers this week.

Hard to tell how Michigan will react after being taken to the woodshed last week...may inspire them, or they could still be licking their wounds.. Regardless, their offense is stagnant, and there is no way I could wager my hard earned money on their offense even scoring 24 points, much less, covering a 24 point spread.
Rutgers plus the 24 for me

I like Mich. I think Rutgers is a total sucker bet. If they don't cover 24 here, then all that does is show you how terrible their back up is because with Speight in here no doubt they win by 40.
Last year they won 78-0 in Rutgers.
The most important factor to consider in this game is the history of Rutgers the last 3-4 years vs the top tier teams in the Big Ten - Wisconsin, OSU, Michigan St. They've lost by 35-45 in every game. Vs the top teams they are dreadful.
Rutgers ain't moving the ball on Michigan. Come on guys. Many short fields for Michigan. They'll probably turn it over also. It's possible the Rutgers offense is improved, but they also haven't played anybody yet. No Wisconsin, Penn St, Mich St, etc. Hence, there is no reason to believe a major step has been taken.
The Mich Penn St game showed me that Penn St is a really good team and Okorn is a bum. But I don't think you guys understand how much easier it is to score at home vs Rutgers than at Penn St or Indiana. Guys will be wide open. They'll break off some big runs. They can win this by 30 with a bad QB in there.
Mich isn't a lock, but this feels like 35-3 to me. At the very least don't bet on Rutgers. My god. Of all the games on the card, that's the one you pick? I don't get it. Good luck though. I just know as a Big Ten native I have a lot of knowledge with Rutgers and you auto fade them vs the top level schools.

I think they need a "get right" game badly and Rutgers just happens to be it.... Honestly I dont think anybody would want to play Michigan this week. This feels like everybody will jump ship on Michigan but trusting rutgers to hold up for 4 quarters on the road is tough task. im leaning michigan
Michigan stock pretty low right now imo....

This is one I'm staying away from. Rutgers is better this year and they're not getting much credit for it and I understand the 78-0 revenge angle. I have a hard time buying into that angle, Michigan knows they kicked Rutgers ass last year and they KNOW Rutgers didn't forget about it, Michigan will be ready for an angry vengeful team. Tell me how Rutgers plans to move the ball? They can win wars of attrition with teams like Purdue but I see Michigan needing a big bounce back after the Penn state game and going up big early and forcing Rutgers to be one dimensional on offense. Could be a 40 point blowout....that all said, I'm not playing it my system slightly leans Rutgers and says the spread shoulda been 24.5 so what do I know

I already bet 2u on Rutgers fellas. I’m letting it ride. I don’t think Michigan should be laying 24 to anybody right now and I will definitely lose my $200 to see them cover this. I’m under the impression that if Rutgers finds the end zone one time they cover, maybe even one FG may do it. We will see

When I see a game with a line that surprises me, I either leave it alone or bet against my initial feelings. I expected something like -17.Many years of gambling has taught me this. It is either Michigan or a PASS. Probably a pass.
yup, definitely has that feel

Speight wasn't much better than okorn. His stats put him solidly in the bottom half of D-I qb's when he went out. As far as judging Rutgers on their last 3-4 years, you need to remember they changed HC's last year.........& I wouldn't call Michigan a top level team right now. They may just be playing out the season since they're not going anywhere. Not saying I'd bet Rutgers either.........just some counterpoints.

Even after Penn State, this is still the No. 1 defense in the country at stopping teams down on third down. Against the worst offense in the Big Ten, if Rutgers gets more than 250 yards of total ill be stunned
The Wolverine D will look like the Wolverine D again.
There is still a tremendous disparity in talent between the two teams.
BOL
IMO

Washington traveled to Rutgers, game not in Washington.
The Washington game was the best bet out of the three. Was a hot topic all summer here on Covers.
This game can go either way. IMO, it is the mindset of Michigan players that determines the final score. Are they feeling sorry for themselves or are they ready to take it out on Rutgers.
Rutgers is a conservative offensive team this year. They run much more than pass, keeping turnovers and penalties to a minimum. Not hurting themselves is what is making them better this year.
On defense they rarely blitz and their linebackers make most of the tackles. Their secondary gives up a lot of yardage but they do have 9 int's this year.
If they rarely blitz and their D-line cannot get pressure O'Korn is going to look good. The pressure is making Michigan QB's look bad along with time consuming passing routes, very young WR's, IMO.
Call it a homer bet but I took Michigan. Nothing cures a bad lose to a good team better than a blowout of a lesser team. i.e. Ohio State

Michigan players are saying that they will be taking it out on Rutgers this week, and i think they will be. Defensively, they will show up. Rutgers team total under whatever will also be a good bet. They will score 10 points max.

This wager comes down to how Michigan responds, number 1 factor of all. I don't care even if Rutgers actually won one or two games in the Big Ten, Michigan controls this game (if they want to). My wager is on them to cover and blow up Rutgers due to a sense of urgency and pride. Hope I am not wrong.
Michigan 41
Rutgers 13
