If you’re an NFL fan recovering from an epic weekend, we can’t blame you. It was an awesome weekend for football, but if you’re as crazy as we are, there’s always another game to pay attention to, even on a Tuesday night at the end of January!
We’ve got you covered with Underdog player props from an awesome college basketball contest this evening between No. 5 Nebraska and No. 3 Michigan. The Wolverines are 10.5-point favorites, but it’s anyone’s best guess as to who will come away with a win in this one. Without further ado, let’s get into it!
Michigan has proven to be one of the best teams in the country to this point in the season, and its players like Yaxel Lendeborg who have put them in this position. He’s been consistent all year in many areas, but especially on the defensive side of the ball.
He’s had at least two combined steals and blocks in each of his past five games, and has also hit this line in 11-straight home games. This puts him in a great position to hit the over on this line again, hopefully making for a sweat-free part of any parlay.
Speaking of consistency, it seems like Aday Mara has at least 11 points every game. He has put up 11+ in each of the Wolverines’ last four contests, and we believe he’s going to extend that streak to five in this one.
Nebraska is a top 20 school in the country when it comes to points allowed, so they might be harder to come by tonight, but we’re still expecting Mara to get his and hit the over in this spot.
If Nebraska is going to keep up with Michigan in this game, they’ll have to be consistent from beyond the three-point arc. Thankfully, they have Pryce Sandfort on their side, who has been lights-out lately.
Sandfort has had at least four three-pointers in four straight games, including one game against Minnesota, where he had seven. Michigan does allow a lot of three-pointers, so it’s the perfect storm for Sandford to have another awesome game in this category.
