Nebraska (leaning heavy towards the Under)
I'll take the Husker's run game and defense over Smoker's arm and M St run defense. Mich St definitely is more likely to have more turnovers tonight as well. Neb's D got 44 turnovers against a better schedule to M St's 29 which was the best in the Big Ten. The Nebraska players are upset and want this coach (Bo Pelini), a defensive orientated one, to be their next head coach. No better way than to go out extremely motivated and dominate this game. I don't see how Solich's removal will affect their running attack, or hurt their already woeful passing attack with Lord at the helm. Mich St hasn't done well historically when their run game has been totally shut down. It will be tonight. Their one-sided attack will be defended against. The Husker's 2nd to last game was against probably the best playing team in the country in K St. They got behind and were dominated pretty well. I don't think this Mich St team is anywhere near that level and Neb D oriented coach will want to win this game over Smoker's arm to increase his future employment possiblities, which most likely won't be at Neb. Smoker threw 21 TD's to 11 picks. I think tonight he'll be good for at least two or three INT's. Both teams played Penn St at home. M St score was more impressive, but I would say Neb was dominating in their own style with 337 yds rushing. Nebraska played higher level competition all year, and have the motivation. It's been a nice turn-around for Mich St but reality sets in tonight.
Neb 25-7 SU when a fav over the last three years, 9-1 SU this year
M St 8-10 SU as a dog over the last three years, 3-3 SU this year
When the total is btwn (49-) and 56, Neb 0/2 O/U, M St 2/4 O/U, this year
On turf this year, Neb 2/3 O/U, M St 3/6 O/U
In non-conference games over the last three years, Neb 2/7 O/U (1/1 this year), M St 3/6 O/U (0/3 this year).
