Michigan vs. Nebraska live stream: Watch online, TV channel, kickoff time, prediction, expert picks

No. 2 Michigan plays its first road game of the season as the Wolverines head to Nebraska; Michigan favored by multiple touchdowns.

Michigan's football team, ranked No. 2, is preparing for their first road game of the season against Nebraska. The Wolverines have started the season strong with four blowout victories at home, but they are aware that the competition will be tougher on the road. Michigan has a history with Nebraska, having faced off against them 12 times in the past. The Wolverines currently hold a 7-4-1 advantage in the all-time series, including three consecutive wins.

Last week, Michigan welcomed back coach Jim Harbaugh with a 31-7 victory over Rutgers in their Big Ten opener. Harbaugh will now face off against Nebraska's coach, Matt Rhule, who is still seeking his first win over a power conference team.

The oddsmakers have Michigan as the favorite by multiple touchdowns for this game, but Nebraska is looking to pull off an upset. Despite the odds, this game is expected to draw a lot of attention. Fans can watch the game live on Saturday, September 30th at 3:30 p.m. ET on Fox or stream it on fubo.

One key player to watch for Michigan is running back Blake Corum. After suffering a knee injury last season, Corum has bounced back and is performing at a high level. He has rushed for multiple touchdowns in each of the last three games, totaling 351 yards and eight touchdowns so far this season. However, he and the rest of Michigan's running back room will face a tough challenge against a Nebraska defense that is only allowing 42.6 rushing yards per game, the best in the FBS.

Nebraska, on the other hand, has faced some struggles at the quarterback position. Jeff Sims, a transfer from Georgia Tech, has been prone to turnovers, with six in the team's first two losses. Heinrich Haarberg, a sophomore, has taken over the starting role in the past two games and has shown promise. He has thrown for 266 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. Haarberg has also been effective on the ground, rushing for 157 yards and a touchdown. However, both quarterbacks will face a tough test against Michigan's defense, which ranks 12th nationally against the run.

For Nebraska, a win over Michigan would be a defining moment for the program. They have struggled against ranked opponents, losing their last 22 matchups. Their last win over an AP top-10 team was in 2015 against Michigan State. Nebraska's most recent win over an AP top-five opponent was in 2001 against Oklahoma. A victory over Michigan would be a significant milestone for coach Rhule, who has yet to win against a ranked opponent since taking over at Nebraska.

In terms of predictions, the odds favor Michigan, but it is expected to be a closer game than anticipated. Michigan has the advantage in offensive star power, but Nebraska's physicality could keep them in the game. Michigan's quarterback, J.J. McCarthy, could have a big game against Nebraska's defense, which struggles against the pass. Ultimately, it is predicted that Michigan will come out on top and move to 5-0, but Nebraska will keep the game within three scores.
