####MICHIGAN PREDICTION THREAD#####

Iowa 3 Michigan 2.

This game starts out very similar to the Arizona game, Michigan blocks a punt and it goes through the endzone for a safety.

Donahue kicks a 62 Yard field goal as time expires!!!

Donahue for heisman!!!

If a team that's ranked 42nd in the nation in total defense (Michigan State) can hold Michigan to 17 points, the team that's 4th in the nation in total defense surely better not surrender more than that. Especially with 2 weeks to prepare.

Stormin - you want to bet on that? You decide what we wager.

The #4 team in the nation in total defense has played some pretty pathetic offenses.

104th ranked Ball State
92nd ranked Iowa State
88th ranked Penn State
26th ranked Arizona
107th out of 117 in FCS Division Eastern Illinois

that would make the 6-4 Penn State game look like an offensive shootout.

I am thinking Iowa 65 Michigan 7 - Stanzi goes off for 400 yards, and Paki shores 3 td's

So what you are trying to saying is Michigan State has a better D than Iowa...I'll stick w/ my prediction. I think Iowa, with the nation's best DL, will hold down Michigan.'
 
If we fail to score more than 30, we've most likely lost because of several turnovers. I'll say 35-17

Michigan was only able to muster 17 against Sparty, and Iowa's defense - as a unit - is better than MSU's. That isn't an opinion, that's a fact.

Iowa spotted Arizona 21 points, and Zona only manged to score 13 points on their own.

So, unless you're predicting another Iowa special teams meltdown, or a pick six from Rick, or both, how do you think Michigan gets 31?

I dont really follow the logic that MSU gave up 17 so Iowa will definitely give up less. Michigan missed chances and made costly mistakes that they might not make against Iowa. The amount of points scored in one game has little impact on the next game

That being said 27-17 Iowa wins and locks up DRob. I've been saying he's overrated all year and im sticking with it

I think it's pretty clear what I said. I said I'll bet you that Michigan scores more than 17 points against us.

Where did I say anything about Michigan State at all?

So I'll ask you again. What would you like to wager? Think of something fun and relatively inexpensive with that imagination of yours.

First of all the Michigan State vs. Michigan game was a totally different game and should not hold that much water as a precursor for what will happen this Saturday. Different game, different day.

Secondly, watch the game and you'll see that Michigan left numerous scoring opportunities on the field and threw two red-zone INT's. I bet if the two teams played again the Vegas over/under on Michigan's total points would be higher than 17 points.

Your Arizona comparison would earn you a helmet sticker if we were playing Arizona again. Unfortunately, that's an apples to oranges and rather lazy comparison. Arizona's offense is nothing of the monster that Michigan's offense is.

I'll end with a lazy comparison myself. Last year the Michigan offense (which is not as explosive as their 2010 offense) scored 21 points on us in Kinnick Stadium and they turned the football over 5 times.

I don't think it's a stretch at all to predict Michigan scoring 31 on us this year considering we've also replaced an NFL corner, two NFL linebackers, and the best scoring offense we've faced all season is 36th ranked Arizona.
 
I see a similar score to last weeks Michigan MSU game. Iowa's defense is better than Michigan State's defense. But Michigan will perform better offensively than they did against Michigan State.

Iowa 35 Michigan 17.

I'm trying to see where you are coming from.

I said MSU held them to 17 and Iowa's defense is better than the Spartan's defense. You, however, think Iowa won't hold them at that point total. So, am I correct in my deduction that you think MSU's defense is better than Iowa's defense? I'm just looking for a yes or no on it. You're the one that wants to bet, not me. If you think UM will score more than 17, then it means you think MSU defense is better than Iowa's defense. I disagree with that. I think Iowa's D is better than MSU's D. Can Iowa's offense hold the ball 35 minutes like MSU did, keeping their D refreshed? I don't know. I just want to know if you think MSU has a better D than Iowa.

If you want to bet, bring something, as you brought it up. Otherwise, if you are right, just feel free to call me out after the game.

Iowa's defense is developed around keeping teams out of the endzone. UM will get a lot of scoring opportunities, but I think the Hawkeyes will keep them out of the endzone, like they have so many other teams.
