The Michigan Wolverines picked up a win over the Wisconsin Badges at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison last week, the first time Michigan accomplished that feat since 2001 when the Wolverines were led by quarterback John Navarre. Remember him? 

Michigan has rattled off five consecutive wins to start the season and in each game the Wolverines have won by at least a touchdown or more.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers are a somewhat average team, and their 3-3 record reflects that. The Cornhuskers have looked a little better in recent weeks, taking a seven point loss to the Oklahoma Sooners on Sept. 18, a three-point overtime loss to the Michigan State Spartans on Sept. 25, then beating the Northwestern Wildcats 56-7 last week.

Michigan vs. Nebraska Prediction

Michigan has beaten every opponent this season by at least a touchdown and I don’t see that trend stopping against Nebraska. 

Hanging in a couple of close games against Oklahoma and Michigan State is impressive for the Cornhuskers, but that was against lesser quality defenses that allowed quarterback Adrian Martinez a little more space for his legs, and his arm. 

Saying that Nebraska is getting better by complimenting them on games they lost, says a lot about where this team is right now.

I’m taking Michigan at -3.5.
