Nebraska opens at 1.5 pt favs. Now up to 3 point favs.

I know the game is at home and Michigan is not playing that well, but I'm surprised Nebraska is favored.

Stat match up is pretty evenly matched.

I overlook that NEB has the best rushing offense in the B1G, and 10th nationally. Those stats aren't too bad.

I actually agree that these teams are pretty even. i'm not going to be surprised at any outcome.

If we force Denard to make some mistakes (which he's prone to do anyway), we win.

Simple as that.

They just scraped by their biggest rival (a bad, rather one dimensional Sparty) by 2 points on a last minute field goal.

Obviously, Denard is better than Colter, but honestly if we employ a similar tactic to shut down Shoelace that we did Colter, we should win walking away.

And THAT scares me.

I think some folks are expecting a low scoring game.

We were 5th in the nation before the NW game.

Michigan's punting must suck if we're doing better them over the course of a season.

Just saying....

Wow, gotta say wow. Im surprised we're favored even if we are at home.

that's because instead of rushing for close to 300, we only ran for 200+ yards, and threw for 350.

I'm not kidding when I say I'm gonna put down a significant amount of money on Michigan to beat that spread. I honestly figured that Michigan would open up at least a 10 point favorite.

Looks like the easiest money all season.

Any time a line seems too good to be true it usually is, keep that in mind

Ohio State sure wasn't too good to be true, nor was a +6.5 Northwestern.

Past ATS results are meaningless in predicting future outcomes.

Trust me I tend to think that -3 is a bit high too but meh, I'm staying far away from this one.

 

[FrankWheeler]

I think being 6th in rushing yards per game and 4th in yards per rush are more important stats than total rushing yards.

I'm not a betting man but if I was I would bet the house on Michigan.
