Placed the largest monetary wager of my life on that -3.5 Michigan spread (first ever 3-figure bet). No, I don’t believe in jinxing. Yes, I look forward to having a heavier wallet.

Close game into the second half, but Michigan pulls away to win by two scores: 27-13.

Biggest playmaker on the field will be Aidan Hutchinson and he's going up against a freshman LT.

38-24 Michigan, but the game is a lot closer than the score indicates. Michigan puts the game out of reach late. 

If Michigan wins, it will be for two reasons:

1) They aren't prone to making mistakes yet. Only turnover has been by the third string QB in garbage time on the final drive of the game last week. Nebraska's season has been defined by crucial mistakes at inopportune times. 

2) There appears to be a big mismatch coming between Nebraska's OL and Michigan's DL. Nebraska just did some big reshuffling after MSU and while it worked last week, it was against one of the worst teams in the country. How will that hold up against an ascendant Ojabo and what looks like a future top-10 pick in Aidan Hutchinson? If this matchup can cause Martinez to spend the whole night running for his life then Michigan has to like its chances. 

If Nebraska can play mistake-free football tomorrow, then the table is set for them to steal this game. This game is not even remotely a gimme. But their entire season, not to mention Scott Frost's tenure at Nebraska as a whole, has been defined by boneheaded mistakes at the worst possible times. As was discussed in FFFF for Nebraska's defense, part of your gameplan should consist of letting Nebraska beat itself.

38-10 Michigan. After Martinez goes out with an early injury the Nebraska offense fails to ever pose a challenge. Their defense plays well for awhile, but turnovers by the offense repeatedly gives Michigan a short field, making the final margin a big one.
