God. LateFires and Skippy. Michigan -5.5 at home to Purdue. Ohio State -30 at home to Kent State. Let's have some inspiring whatchamacallit here. |

Take Kent State and the points. OSU will show mercy on their in state bretheren as they did with Akron earlier this year. They'll start taking knees in the 3rd quarter and are up 42-0. 42-14 final. That beats the spread right??

Why I believe it does...yes. Somehow taking knees and mentioning spreads make this all feel dirty. |

Of course, Michigan has had trouble for years with teams that spread the field and force their back seven to play in space (something that should not be allowed, since Bo and Woody wouldn’t have done it that way), but they have pretty much dominated Purdue in spite of this. My feeling is that this is because Purdue has lacked a running QB that can threaten them with the draw/spread option and a big, physical, run-blocking Offensive Line. The other teams that have exposed Michigan’s deficiencies against the spread (Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan State) have done so because of the run game more than the passing game. Also, I don’t think Purdue’s defense is very good, as evidenced by the performance of great offensive teams like the Noodles and Gophers against them, so I think even Michigan’s predictable, stuck in 1985 offense will be able to protect their defense and wear down Brock Spack’s unit (Cajanatah should like that one). Additionally, this is Michigan’s homecoming game and they haven’t lost at home to Purdue since the LBJ administration, so I think they may actually be up for this game. I wouldn’t expect it to be easy, and nothing will surprise me with this Michigan team, but I think Michigan will win this. As far as taking the 5.5, it is a better bet than the money line, but less than a TD would not make it an attractive game to bet, in my opinion. If you want to bet against Michigan, save your money for next week against Illinois. |

I did give you full credit for that one...and a fine one it was. I'm not saying Purdue will win.....but probably something like 52-49..Michigan. |

I do think the over is worth looking at, assuming the posted total is below 59. I should also add that I am biased against the BoiledQuakers, as I once dated a girl from that cess pool, and a VERY bad woman she was. |
