Selection Sunday is just one week away, meaning teams have to take advantage of every opportunity to make their case for an NCAA Tournament bid.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers appear to be safe at the moment and are penciled in as a 9-seed by on Joe Lunardi’s latest Bracketology for ESPN.com.
However, a loss on Sunday against the Michigan Wolverines, who have just eight wins on this season thus far, would clearly be a bad look for Nebraska in the eyes of the tournament committee.
Nebraska easily handled Michigan earlier this season, winning their lone matchup, 79-59, last month.
From a betting standpoint, Nebraska is a six-point favorite against Michigan based on live college basketball odds, and the Action Network’s College Basketball PRO Projections suggest that number is two points off where it should be.
Let me explain.
College Basketball Prediction: Nebraska vs. Michigan
As mentioned above, Nebraska sits at -6.5 for Sunday’s matinee.
However, our college basketball betting model suggests that the Cornhuskers should be even longer — -8.5 to be exact.
This two-point difference between the current spread and our projection results in a 3.9% edge for bettors willing to lay the points with Nebraska against Michigan.
In addition, savvy bettors can increase this edge even further by shopping for the best odds and picking off Nebraska -6 (-110), which is currently available at Caesars.
