Michigan vs. Nebraska preview, odds, prediction, TV channel, live stream

Here’s everything you need to know about the Michigan-Nebraska college football game, including how to bet and how to watch the game online.

Nebraska is still in search of their first win under first-year head coach Scott Frost after a disappointing loss to Troy last week that dropped the Cornhuskers to 0-2 for the first time since 1957. Things might get worse before they get better for Frost and Nebraska, however, as they travel to the Big House to take on the No. 19 Michigan Wolverines who are heavy favorites.

Michigan has gotten somewhat on track in recent weeks after losing their opener to Notre Dame when the offense struggled to get anything going with quarterback Shea Patterson having a ton of expectations and pressure on his shoulders.

Patterson is up to six touchdowns on the year after beating up on some inferior opponents, but a good showing against a Nebraska defense that is 230 yards through the air and 28.5 points per game, could give him some confidence as the Wolverines wade deeper into the Big Ten waters this year.

Quarterback has been an issue on the other sideline where Nebraska lost without promising freshman starter, Adrian Martinez, who is listed as questionable for Saturday. If he can’t give it a go, Andrew BUnch will get the start for the second week in a row. Helping whoever is under center will be the Nebraska running attack, which averages 258 yards per game. Greg Bell leads the team with 168 yards but has yet to reach the end zone.

I like Michigan to win this game, but I’m hesitant to lay the 18.5 points because of the unknown nature of the availability of Martinez. If he’s out, I’ll lay the points, but if he plays, I think he can keep the Huskers within 18 points.

Score: Michigan 31, Nebraska 13
