i'll predict any final record you want, just name the team.......

I've been around this site for quite a while now, and you are by far the biggest homer I've seen here.  Your opinions don't help anyone win any $, whether they're right or wrong! All we ever hear out of you is "MICHIGAN, MICHIGAN,MICHIGAN,MICHIGAN....best team on the planet....no one can hang with MICHIGAN.....the best ever.....tOSU sucks, MSU sucks......MICHIGAN, MICHIGAN, MICHIGAN!!!!!!"  You belong on a fan board, not a gambling site. 

I'm a Sparty, and yes, I think Devin Gardner may end up being the best-kept secret in college football.  UofM will be good, but you need to understand, this is supposed to be a site where we help each other win $ together, and your extreme homerism helps no one!

Whether I agree or disagree isn't the point.  I'm just saying all we get from you is extreme homerism....like hardcore!!!  Which is fine, but this is a gambling site, people that pound their chests and claim how good their team is, don't get listened to very seriously.

FWIW, here's my thoughts on Michigan.  Like I said, I've seen Gardner, he could be the next big thing.....or he could be very average, we don't know yet.  As a Sparty, he scares the crap out of me. Denard didn't worry me one bit, he was easy to contain for teams that had the right scheme and an athletic defense.  Gardner is not going to be easy to stop for anybody. If Gardner has some WR's step up.....look out.  RB is a ? too. I don't care what Fred Jackson says because if I remember correctly, he thought Thomas Rawls was going to be a beast .  Defensively they should be tough, not spectacular..... but above average. 

 Their schedule sets up pretty nice.  There's not one guaranteed loss on there.  In fact, they shouldn't be bigger than a 4-point 'dog all season, which translates into them "being able" to win every game.  However, if they don't catch any brakes and have a few injuries, they could lose 4/5 games.  Most likely, they win 9, so yes I think your bet at Over 8.5 +$ is a good bet.  I think there's also value at Over 9, considering it comes in at +315!!!!!
