I always stay away from big spreads. All it takes is a muffed punt, dropped pass, or freak INT to throw off the pace.

On paper yes, 47 (or more) seems right.

I think there is a very good chance UConn beats the spread. I don’t think it will be nearly as bad as LSU putting up 44 points on Southern to start the 2nd quarter. Very possible that Uconn is playing against 3rd stringers in the 2nd half, and Zion plays well and shows his wheels. If I know Mora he’ll draw up some run and option plays for the kid.

Think I would shy away from option plays for Zion.

By option I don’t mean multiple backs, I mean give him the option to run it or pass it, but only against the 3rd stringers in the 2nd half.

Impossible to know.

Another factor is the fact that Michigan played 96 players last week against Hawaii. Could be something similar this week as well.

I would never bet a game with that type of spread. Because you’re at that point betting on which team will be trying harder long after the game has been decided. And how would anyone know.

Exactly. The spread will be whatever Michigan wants it to be.

Cuse just beat us by 34 at home. You don't think M will squeeze out a two more TD's

Why? He hasn’t shown anything resembling “wheels” or indication whatsoever that he is even a decent runner.

He also runs track, 100m, 200m, and anchors the 4x100m relay so I would guess he’s pretty fast, though it remains to be seen how that translates onto the football field.
