Michigan Opens as Slight Favorite in Rose Bowl

[countrytider]

Yes, but why will a lot of money be bet on Michigan?

There isn’t. As of today, 83% is betting Alabama. Over 19k bets so far. Do the math. That leaves 17% tickets coming in on Michigan. It may get closer to even by kickoff, it may not. Here’s the betting action literally up to right now according to Sports Action Network. This isn’t an opinion. It’s a fact.

 

[countrytider]

So if all the money is coming in on Alabama, why isn’t the line moving more?

Bingo. That’s the concern. There is still time for it to even out some. Let’s hope that it does..

 

[CoolBreeze]

Lot of folks not related to Bama or meat chicken betting on what they think is reality. It will surprise me if we do not win by 15.

 

[countrytider]

No, he's suggesting that, since the line hasn't moved, Vegas is happily scooping up money being bet on Alabama because they already know they can influence the refs to throw the game to ensure Michigan wins and covers...

This wasn’t in blue font so I’m assuming you’re being serious. My suggestion is closer to what CajunCrimson said..

It’s naive to think that there isn’t corruption though. Especially when it comes to sports betting. I mean we see it every where else. Even on this thread the same people who are calling Michigan “cheaters”….are the same ones laughing at the idea of Vegas being corrupt, corrupt refs, etc…

That Michigan State team was likely the worst playoff team ever included. This Michigan team is indeed way better than that MSU team.

Nah. You are forgetting Cincy, TCU, even Washington in I think 2016? Or thereabouts

No, I remember them. Cincy and Washington scored on us. MSU never got close to threatening. Plus, one of their DEs was spun around by a Henry stiff arm.

Haha, fair enough. I have to admit, when I hear “Michigan State vs Alabama”, what immediately comes to mind is 2010(11) and “we are just swinging our purses at them” and MSU having to punt on 4th and goal.

Greatest stiff-arm there ever was or ever will be.

Here’s a video version:

The local news was talking about ticket prices for the final. $ 1,300 to get in the building.

Well, I guess I won’t be going to the game then.

If I remember correctly, at one point in the game after it was well in hand, we were just trying to run clock and Saban was getting frustrated at MSU because they couldn't even tackle our guys.

You do remember correctly. And it was Eddie Lacy who Coach yelled at for scoring a TD.

Ah the memories and poor Mich St.

We’ve outscored them 87-7 in 2 games and they never had a chance either time.

and KIng Henry has done that a couple of times in the NFL as well. He is a freak of nature.
