    That would be a very nice win for the Utes. I would be very stoked at the prospects for the rest of the year if this ends up being the final score.

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    I really like this team, especially with two weeks to prepare and play with underdog chips on their shoulders.
    Excited to see what Paul can do.

    Utah: 38
    Michigan: 35

    Guys, the line is Michigan -5. I hope you're not putting any real money on these picks.
    One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike -- and yet it is the most precious thing we have.

    --Albert Einstein

    The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing, is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice.

    Utah has 11 sacks & no interceptions this year. That combination almost feels mathematically impossible to me. Pressure should create INTs.
    I mean, really, you have to wonder what the deal is with our defensive backfield.

    I really don't recall the opposing QB's our first two games forcing any throws. They either got sacked, scrambled or threw it away.

    Pressure certainly does induce mistakes, but that requires the QB to throw the ball.

    I'd really have to go back and watch closely to see how many possible pick throws there were.

    This is where I am. Granted, I'm just a fan and never played, so acknowledge that there's much about the game that I'm not noticing, but I haven't seen many throws that have been interceptable. Either our safeties have been completely out of position to step into some of the crossing routes, or these first QBs have been pretty careful with the ball.

    I don't gamble, which enables my reckless optimism! Also, to borrow a phrase from 'napper, I am exhibiting 'testicular fortitude!'

    I don't know about the others, but I'm just spitballing here in these score prediction threads. Serious betting? Me?

    Michigan 29.5
    Utah 29.0

    This could go either way, and it could go either way with a three TD margin of victory. My gut still says Michigan wins at home. If Utah wins, it will be because we have a new turnover-causing hero amidst our LB and DB crew.
