Betting Trends for vs
The Michigan Wolverines were once one of the top teams in the country, but they have since fallen down the ranks and to the bottom of the Big Ten standings as they are 2-6 in conference play. The Nebraska Cornhuskers have really struggled to find any success in year 1 of Fred Hoiberg, but they have been solid scoring the basketball in conference play as they are averaging 70.8 PPG which ranks 4th in the Big Ten. The Michigan Wolverines will be without their top player for this matchup as Zavier Simpson is suspended for violation of team rules, and that is a big hit for Juwan Howard as he is averaging an NCAA high 8.3 APG while also pitching in 12.8 PPG. The Cornhuskers will need Cam Mack to step up as the sophomore guard is averaging 14 PPG and 7.8 APG in Big Ten play, but he has been supplemented nicely as 3 other guys are averaging at least 11 PPG. The Cornhuskers are in dire need of a potential program changing win, and they will take a step in the right direction with a win here. Final Score Prediction, Nebraska Cornhuskers win and cover ATS 74-70.
