I've been pretty lukewarm with the picks this year, so I'd take anything I say with a grain of salt. I'm not betting this one. Hard to get a read on how this will go.
Michigan has played 2 good teams all year (maybe 3 if you count Purdue, who has a knack for finding a way to lose). They've played 3 good defenses (including the top 2 in the country) and looked horrible. I don't count Michigan State as a good team, because they don't have anything that resembles an offense.
Lucky for Michigan, Nebraska doesn't have a good defense, although they looked good against Northwestern. If not for multiple special teams problems, that's more of a blowout by the Huskers.
Michigan could score 17 points, or they could score 50. Nebraska will probably put up around 28 against the best defense they've seen yet, but if they play with few mistakes (which is rare this season), they could still put just under 40 on the scoreboard.
Honest question, how good is Michigan's D? The best offense they played was Alabama, who hung 41 on them. Next is Air Force, who scored 25. Those were the first 2 games of the season, so they may have gotten better. The only good defensive performance I see after that against a good offensive team is against Purdue. The rest of the teams they played are in the bottom half of NCAA in scoring offense.
Nebraska has a "flukey" defense and a very good offense. Only thing keeping them from being a 1 loss team is mistakes. And you don't know where they're going to come from. Fumbles? Muffed punts? Entire team falling apart? But you know it's going to happen.
If I were betting, I'd take the better defense coupled with the bad turnover margin for the opposing team. That points to a Michigan win and cover.
