Michigan -1.5

• Michigan has won four straight in this series, including the last two contests in Lincoln, NE
• QB Underwood is showing improvement and making plays through the air and with his feet
• Underwood ran for 114 yards and two scores in last week’s win over CMU
• Nebraska allowed 202 yards of rushing offense in their opener against Cincy, with half coming from the QB
• Michigan appears to have more experience and roster depth in several positions
• The Michigan defense will have its hands full with the Nebraska passing game, but should be able to contain it
• Nebraska has yet to take that jump into the upper tier of the Big 10, today is not that day
• The Huskers have not won a conference opening game since 2019
