Michigan Wolverines vs Nebraska Cornhuskers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/24/25

No. 12 Michigan will be hitting the road to face their Big Ten opponent, Nebraska, in hopes to rebound from their tough home loss against Michigan State, where they were bested 75-62.  Nebraska is looking to rebound from their loss to Penn State last week, and with only 4 games left, the Cornhuskers sit in 9th place in the Big Ten standings, hoping to gain some ground before the conference tournament. The Wolverines are only a half-game back from first place in the Big Ten standings, and with 5 games left, they know how critical each game is. Tonight, I believe Michigan is in a prime position to pull off a small upset on the road as they battle for first place in the Big Ten.

Nebraska has to be a little concerned heading into tonight’s matchup, especially since one of their bigs, Berke Buyuktuncel, is going to be a game-time decision due to an ankle injury. Without Buyuktuncel at 100%, it’s going to be tough for Nebraska to compete for rebounds as Michigan has two 7-footers in their lineup, Vladislav Goldin and Danny Wolf. This Wolverines team has been really efficient on offense, averaging 80.8 points per game, whereas Nebraska is averaging 75.7 points per game. Playing on the road isn’t easy in the Big Ten, but Michigan has the better offense and defense, plus they’ll have a size advantage in tonight’s matchup that gives them an edge.  Michigan has 5 players averaging double digits this season, which gives them a slight advantage on offense, but if they want to win, this defense will need to find a way to slow down Brice Williams. I think Michigan has what it takes to pull off a road victory in tonight’s matchup, and they should be able to grab plenty of rebounds that should give them second-chance looks. Look for the Wolverines to win this game outright, but it’s worth taking the extra point as a little insurance.
