Our Michigan Wolverines vs Nebraska Cornhuskers Prediction

Michigan is the short favorite in this matchup; however, it has already shown signs of being inconsistent just three weeks into the season. Their quarterback, Bryce Underwood, looked good in Michigan’s most recent game, but in his lone road start against Oklahoma in Week 2, he was held in check. 

The environment in Nebraska may not be the same as Oklahoma; however, the Cornhuskers have looked solid in each of their first three games. Further, Michigan has covered the spread just once this season, a home game against Central Michigan. With this game being played in Nebraska, there is a chance that Underwood will be under pressure all afternoon. For that reason, our Michigan Wolverines vs Nebraska Cornhuskers prediction is: Nebraska Cornhuskers +3.5 Alternate Spread.
