NEBRASKA (+1.5)  25   Michigan  24

I expected Nebraska to be better this season in coach Matt Rhule’s third season as head coach, as his third season at Temple and at Baylor resulted in significant improvements. Thus far the jury is still out, as beating up on Akron and Houston Christian the last two weeks doesn’t detract from the less than impressive 20-17 win over Cincinnati to open the season.

However, Michigan hasn’t proven anything either, as they were handled pretty easy by Oklahoma, getting outgained by 131 yards in that 13-24 loss. Beating New Mexico by just 17 points and blowing out a bad Central Michigan team doesn’t tell us much about the Wolverines but this game will tell us a lot more about both teams.

My ratings favor Michigan by 3 points but Nebraska applies to a very good 107-43-3 ATS situation and Matt Rhule’s teams are 68-41-1 ATS in his college coaching career.
