Slug fest of a game that Nebraska is fueled by the insane home crowd. All with Bussin with the boys firing up the student section. Expect a top 5 loudest game in Memorial Stadium history. @B1G_10_Tony quits the TPB and goes into deep depression.

I just know I'm getting my hopes up but I really want to predict a Nebraska win. If they can play clean and replicate some of what we saw last week, I hope we can win by a TD or something. I just have a feeling like maybe we turn the ball over a bunch or get 26 penalties...but I guess until we see consistency, I'll probably feel that way every game. Either way, Nebraska 31 Meatchicken 24
 
Meatchicken 31 NU 20.

I desperately want to be wrong.

Which NU shows up? UM has more confidence but there is some pressure on them. We're at home and it's a night game, so we have that going for us. I'm hopeful, but I'm also battered by watching two decades worth of getting our balls crushed in a vice.
 
Meat chicken 13. Nubs 23. I have a feeling that being ranked will get into Harbaughs head and Nubs are overdue for an upset win. Also, I have a feeling that PSU will go full Sandusky on Cockeye this weekend as well.
 
Using logic one would see UMs ends are going to kick the shit out of our inexperienced OTs & Martinez will be lucky to make it thru the game uninjured
Logic also says UMs special teams are exceptional & ours are terrible
If I’m betting my money it would seem it’s the lock of the decade that Michigan will cover easily, but Vegas doesn’t give $ away easily so something must be up
Head says Michigan 31-17
Heart says Nebraska 14-13
I wanna get hyped for this game but we’ve seen this before in “program statement games”. USC 2007, OSU 2018
I’m going in hopeful, not shitting the bed early will be key (I kinda feel Frost is gonna try to hit them big right away with a bomb or some kind of trick play). Hopefully it doesn’t blow up in our face
Play clean & who knows
We need the line & special teams to be solid
 
Michigan 27 - Nebraska 17

Yall are high if you think we have magically cleaned up the penalties on offense and special team issues.
If the defense stops the Michigan run game it will be a close game regardless unless we have a lot of turnovers which is possible.
 
It’ll be close and Martinez will have a shot to tie it up or win, but will throw underneath and burn a ton of time on first down and then either fumble/throw a pick/get sacked to end it.

This is a great opportunity for this team to justify all the “they’re better than their record” talk after NW - haven’t seen that happen in a number of years, but would love to see it this week.
 
Too many wildcard things can happen with our team for me to feel confident in making a prediction. We play clean and our O Line doesn't get destroyed, we have a good shot.

We have some of our usual brain-fart mistakes and poor special teams play, we almost certainly lose.

It will be an interesting game, but not one I feel confident in putting a prediction on. At least we are at home against a ranked opponent this time though.
