Penn St Defense is pretty good again this year, This line is low and I myself would play Penn St if I had to bet it right now, but taking the contrain side Michigan did look much better with the new QB, I know ND isnt that good but I think thier Defense is much ahead of their Offense. Michigan implemented a good game plan which worked pretty good. If they can play a similar style game it could be a real close one!

Still waiting to see if Henne will be back (unlikely), but I will be playing Michigan on the ML or passing.

offensive teams. PS, if you believe in trends has great
difficulty beating this team. Their record in the past
10 years is horrible. It could be only one maybe two
wins, if that. Might even be none. This is the game
to determine if PS is for real. I am not sure any Big 10
team is. Wis proved they aren't great. O State is
suspect.

One last question why is this line so low when Mich
is playing a freshmen against a great defense. Does
something smell funny here?

I play PS but very small. Think there are better
games this week like Buff winning outright against
Baylor.

It looks like a good bet with Penn St -3 but I wouldn't be surprised if they got beat. I will play this game a few minutes before kick off.

This one is a bit tougher to me than what you can with the naked eye sorta speak. I still the talent level for Michigan is still in tact, and even despite that rough start they had this year. I think i'm going to take my chances with the Michigan ML in this game.

slight lean to PSU, but not interested in laying points on the road vs. a Michigan squad I don't know what to think of...

Yea I will probably wait a little bit before making a play here. I do expect Penn St. to cover 3. Seeing as how it is a road game, this will not be one of my "big plays" for the weekend. GL to all and thanks for your thoughts and insights

Agree with those calling for Michigan outright, though I did take the FG.
