Michigan at Nebraska: Underwood’s Dual-Threat Rise Faces Raiola’s 3-0 Huskers in Big Ten Opener

Models project a tight, low-scoring contest, with Michigan a slight road favorite.

Overview

  • Kickoff is 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday at Memorial Stadium on CBS and Paramount+.
  • Oddsmakers list Michigan by roughly 1.5 to 2.5 points with a near-even moneyline and totals in the mid-40s.
  • SportsLine’s 10,000-run simulation leans Under on the total at about 43 combined points, while Dimers gives Nebraska a 51% win probability and highlights Under 47.5 as its best bet.
  • Michigan freshman Bryce Underwood is coming off 114 rushing yards and 235 passing yards against Central Michigan, drawing praise for a newly featured quarterback run element.
  • Nebraska is 3-0 seeking its first 4-0 start since 2016 behind QB Dylan Raiola’s 77% completion rate and 8:0 TD:INT, as Sherrone Moore serves a suspension with Biff Poggi acting as Michigan’s head coach.
