My initial thoughts regarding the slate for week one of the college football season is a resounding, "zzzzzzzzz". While I believe that there may be several underdawgs worthy of consideration to pose an upset, I am having difficulty nominating just one. I believe that all favorites are being reminded of what happened to Michigan last year, and for the most part we will see mostly sloppy football with no big surprises, (unless La. Tech upends the Missing Link, Sylvester Croom).
With this being said, I am going to deviate from my usual underdawg selection, and start the season off by making the following prediction:
Michigan 38
Utah 17
Michigan probably wants to win their home opener this year, and I like nothing better than a favorite with a double incentive:
#1 Their humiliating loss in the home opener last year to Appy State
#2 I like teams who use a big bowl win as a springboard for next year, (Michigan whipped the Gators).
I could care less that Michigan lost their QB, running back, and head coach from last year. They are going to beat Utah's ass.
