Michigan at Nebraska picks and predictions

Prediction

Michigan 28, Nebraska 24

Moneyline

PASS.

While not by much, there is better value on the Michigan (-125) spread.

Against the spread

LEAN MICHIGAN -1.5 (-115).

Underwood will be the difference maker for the Wolverines on Saturday. He faced struggles in the team's loss to the Oklahoma Sooners, but was able to bounce back and iron out the kinks last week.

Beyond the Cincinnati Bearcats, Nebraska has yet to face any true competition and is in for a rude awakening against a tough Wolverines defense.

While this game should be expected to remain close, the Wolverines have a clear edge, even on the road, with a win all but meaning a cover too.

Over/Under

BET OVER 47.5 (-110).

The Wolverines have hit the Over in 2 of their 3 games, scoring 34 or more points in each. It has allowed 17 or more points in 2 of their 3 games.

The Cornhuskers have scored 59 or more points in back-to-back weeks, and while they should not be expected to come near those marks Saturday, they have been able to fine-tune their offense.

Both teams are multifaceted and capable of scoring at will, which will be beneficial towards the total.
