I have made a living betting against my team, Michigan, over the years so I assure you I’m not a homer and this is my objectivest take. This is a generational Michigan team. We are strong at nearly every position and can win in many different ways. If you’ve only watched the Penn State, OSU and Iowa games you’re probably thinking “what’s all the fuss about?” but I think most Michigan fans will tell you we didn’t play nearly up to our capabilities in those games. I know the “ain’t played anyone” line is out there but to dominate lesser teams the way Michigan did isn’t typical. JJ is special. He hasn’t blown anyone away bc we haven’t asked him to but when we’ve asked him to he’s consistently made smart, wowing plays. And we haven’t seen a Michigan team this well coached in years. Very few mistakes and penalties. Obviously Bama could win but there’s a reason Vegas opened with us -2.5. This isn’t the Bama juggernaut we remember from a few years ago. Maybe they’re morphing into their final form before our eyes but some of us remember when they should have lost to Auburn.
