Don't know about your numbers/chances but Michigan does give a boost (59.5% more chance of admission for each month - September vs. October, Oct vs Nov!) for splitters for applying early (see

Thanks. Yeah it seems that getting the apps in early makes a big difference for splitters

If $$ is an issue and you aren't 100% sure on michigan, don't ED.
Please do keep us posted. Super-splitters need all the data we can get.
