The Michigan Wolverines are 2-1 and 19th in the country. The Nebraska football team is 0-2 and really, really unranked. It doesn’t take a gambling genius to understand why the Huskers have opened the week as an 18-point underdog in Saturday’s game.
The line has actually gotten a little bit bigger on Tuesday, as the Wolverines are now 18.5-point favorites on some boards. The spread is yet another reminder that the Cornhuskers season is not going as well as hoped.
The bottom line is even if the Huskers were 3-0 entering this matchup, they would still likely be underdogs.
