Analysis
Nebraska is coming into this game with a 20-0 record this season and they are 9-0 in the conference. They have been dominant in their recent games with their last 4 straight wins coming by 10+ points each, and their defense has been very good in these. They have held opponents under 60 points in 3 of their last 4 games and they have not allowed 70+ points in any of those. They are also 5-0 on the road this season with all 5 of those wins coming in conference play, and they have held opponents under 70 points in 3 of their last 4 road games as well. They are going up against a Michigan team that is 18-1 this season and they are 8-1 in the conference. Their only loss this season was a 91-88 loss at home against Wisconsin, but they have been on fire since then with 4 straight wins by 10+ points each. Their offense has been great in these as they have scored 80+ points in 4 of their last 5 games, but their defense has not been great as they have allowed 70+ points in 5 of their last 6 games as well. They have also had some slower starts in their recent games as 2 of their last 3 games have been within 3 points at halftime, and that is going to be a problem here as Nebraska has dominated in the 2nd half of their recent games. Michigan has some very good shooters this season, but this Nebraska team can shoot the ball very well, and Nebraska's defense has been much better in their most recent games. Nebraska may be the undefeated team here, but they are going to get up for one of the better teams in the conference and will be able to keep this game close. Nebraska will cover the spread in this game.
