Nebraska vs. Michigan Prediction and Odds for College Football Week 11 (Harbaugh Runs it Down the Huskers' Throats)
By Josh Yourish
Jim Harbaugh’s Michigan Wolverines steamrolled Rutgers 52-17 last week and must be a scary sight for the 3-6 Nebraska Cornhuskers. It’s been three straight losses for the Huskers and Vegas certainly thinks that they are staring their fourth straight defeat in the face this week. Michigan is No. 3 and so clearly on a collision course with Ohio State in the last week of the season.
Will Nebraska be able to play spoiler or are they just another punching bag for the 9-0 Wolverines? Let’s check out the odds and trends for this Big 10 matchup.

Nebraska vs. Michigan Prediction and Pick
Michigan is so uniquely suited to win big as a huge favorite. The Wolverines don’t rely on their quarterback to hit deep shots like Ohio State, who can sometimes get held down by a team like Northwestern and the weather in Illinois. Michigan just hands the ball off to Blake Corum and punches the other team right in the mouth. Michigan has the No. 4 rushing offense in the nation and that is translatable against lesser Big 10 opponents. Last week against Rutgers, Corum ran for 109 on 20 carries and finished with two touchdowns. In all, the Wolverines ran for 282 yards.
Nebraska’s defense is 103rd in the country against the pass and more importantly, 107th in rushing yards allowed. The Wolverines will run all over this defeated Nebraska squad that desperately needs to get this season over with and rid themselves of the stench of Scott Frost.
Pick: Michigan -30.5 (-110)
