The Nebraska game was always going to be one of the most intriguing games on the Michigan football schedule. Now that it has arrived, it has plenty of intrigue.
The Wolveriners are 2-1 and need a win like this to show they can be a playoff contender. Asking to win a game like this on the road is a lot with a true freshman quarterback, but Bryce Underwood isn't an ordinary freshman.
Last week, Michigan let Bryce be Bryce and the result was 63 points. Will Michigan do that again? On the road? Acting head coach Biff Poggi said Underwood has the "green light."
It feels like if Bryce is allowed to be Bryce, Michigan will have a better chance of winning this game. With that in mind, here's a look at the odds, plus a final prediction, and a wrap-up of College Gameday predictions.
Michigan vs. Nebraska final odds
The line has dropped back to 1.5 points in favor of Michigan. The over/under is 47.5 points. The moneyline is -118 for Michigan and -102 for Nebraska.
College Gameday predictions for Michigan vs. Nebraska
Joel Klatt picked Michigan football to win by double digits earlier this week. Four of the five pickers on College Gameday also picked the Wolverines to beat the Huskers on Saturday. Pat McAfee is the only one who picked Nebraska. Former Michigan tight end Jake Butt predicted Michigan to win the game, too.
Many feel that Michigan's running game, with Underwood included, will be too much for the Nebraska defense. We shall see. Kickoff is only a few hours away.
