An interesting early season trend: Single-digit home dogs are currently 17-11 ATS and 15-13 straight up. It's not why I'm taking the Huskers, but it doesn't hurt my confidence! I'm not ready to trust a team with a true freshman QB as a favorite on the road, particularly given how Michigan's offense performed in its last road game.
Michigan still plays a very good brand of defensive football. It is what helped keep them in the game against Oklahoma. What we saw last week was a freshman QB in Bryce Underwood showcase his ability to make plays with his legs, which is enough to give them the edge of Nebraska QB Dylan Raiola in this tight matchup.
