ND vs Michigan could go either way. Separate computer runs
for pts, margin and win chances all differed...Tom

Its so tough to make a rational prediction after watching both teams play. I obviously think ND will win, something like 21-10 maybe but both of them played sub par to say the least this past weak.Iwill give us the advantage though, WE WILL PLAY BETTER THIS WEEK.

Easton Pa ND Fan · Sep 9, 2008

ND's win chances adjusted...

Adjusting for a 100% basis, ND's chances are 44.27%
against Michigan's 55.73% chance of winning...Tom

Brown · Sep 9, 2008

Michigan has a good defense with a lot of talent on that side of the ball. If we play with the same lack of polish we did against SDS, we simply won't have a chance.

tko · Sep 9, 2008

as far as the run goes, i am dying for ND to start that run to the left side and work the cutback to the right. all game they just ran left and got bogged down and it appeared that the cutback was open. i like ND to be improved this week, particularly with me in the stands!

JeremyND07 · Sep 9, 2008

I hate to even say this because I have to watch the game at my brother-n-laws who is a HUGE Mich fan...Mich 24 vs. ND 21...ND has a chance to tie it in the final minutes on 4 and 3 from the 30 yard line. WEis has no faith in our FG kicker and we get stuffed on some lame play call...like a WR screen!!!!

Timugen · Sep 9, 2008

ND wins 20-17 and DickRod's head explodes as Meatchicken misses the FG that would send it to OT.

Fbolt · Sep 9, 2008

ND 24
MI 13

Like many, I see ND improving from last week.

20-17 is a much more realistic score...but is the 20 points mean we made (2) field goals or missed an extra point because I do not see the 2 FG's. Seriously, there has to be some bad a$$ kicker in the country somewhere that has a 4.0 GPA and needs to be recruited harder then anyone!!!!!!!! We NEED a consistant kicker!!!!

ND 3, scUM 2.

Consistency sounds like Kai Forbath of UCLA... kid had what? four made FGs from fifty plus yards a year ago? (Looked it up, five!)

I won't say 'too bad he's a Bruin,' but I will say: "Too bad he's not Irish!"

WeisWeisBaby · Sep 9, 2008

Anybody have tix for this game and willing to sell for over $100 but less than $200?

GO IRISH!!! · Sep 9, 2008

I think the vibe on campus is going to be much different leading up to this game. The dining halls are going to be rocking come Thursday and Friday. The whole campus will be buzzing. Wish I could be there. The boys are going to be pumped. "Crank me up!"

phork · Sep 9, 2008

UM 31 ND 14

On 3 INTS, 2 fumbles. While UMs offense scores only 3 points.

Newc · Sep 9, 2008

Well hopefully, ND's pitiful play last week was due to the fact that they were looking forward to Michigan coming into South Bend.

However, if the Irish don't come out fired up and ready to play with some offensive creativity then I fear Michigan may get the best of us.

Heres hoping SDSU was a wake up call and Charlie as well as the players get their act together.

ND 24
Mich 21

fightinirish68 · Sep 9, 2008

i hate hate hate to say it. 17-28 mich.

Bubba · Sep 9, 2008

Neither team gets to 20 points. ND 14-13 in a nailbiter.

roto-stud · Sep 9, 2008

I pray and hope for a Notre Dame victory... I will be in attendance with my son and daughter this weekend...a victory would be awesome and I believe would steer some big time recruits attending
the game into the Notre Dame camp. ND 24 - Michigan 20

NDOM · Sep 9, 2008

I hate to say this too because I hate scUM more than ANYTHING!

Michigan 26
Notre Dame 13

Analytical Exactitude

I developed a Bayesian Network representation of the game. And then executed a simulation model using that architecture. It employs the Dempster-Shafer inference algorithm which is robust and coherent.

The answer is 5.

SteveM

P.S. Re: robust and coherent. After the game on Saturday, I shall be neither.

irishandy · Sep 9, 2008

I think it depends on our running game, if we improve from last week then ND- 24 and Michigan- 13. If it does not improve it will be much of a closer game going either way.

I will be there too my friend; making the trip from L.A. on Thursday w/ my fiance. Can't wait!!! You are exactly right, we need to show the recruits what we are all about. This is a HUGE game!

And there is no way our players should come out w/ no emotion like they played last week. It's Michigan, and freakin' Lou Holtz is speaking at the pep rally! They should, and will, be jacked up! And if some blue-hair behind me tells me to sit down, I think I'll light nyself on fire. The crowd needs to be jacked up as well!

phork · Sep 9, 2008

IMO if we can't win this game, there is no hope. Michigan right now is at its lowest point in a long long time, and its only going to get harder once RichRod has his lackeys in there.

Easton Pa ND Fan · Sep 9, 2008

If you can get a Bayesian Network with a range of probabilities, I would love to see it...Tom

Dizzyphil · Sep 9, 2008

ND - 28
MI - 10

Here's why:

UM quarterback is green and will bust under pressure throwing at least 2 picks maybe 3.
The blitz will keep the running game around 125 - 150 yards but keep them in unmanagable 3rd downs. Irish defense could score 2 touchdowns.

I think we will incorporate more passing routes in this game. CW had to tell Haywood to spread it out a little bit or try some risks downfield a couple more times and they have to get Aldridge into the game to find out what he's made of.

If I'm wrong, scratch out all I said up there. LOL :devil_2:

Before this season started, I believed that USC and Michigan
would be a definite in the loss column with maybe North Caro
lina or Washington/Pittsburg leaving ND at 8-4.

Now I think it could be just USC with North Carolina or Wash
ington at 9-3. It depends on whether this Irish Team comes
out of the tunnel pumped...Tom
