Nebraska is coming into this game with a 7-1 record this season and they have been playing very well all year, but they have also had a very weak schedule with weaker teams on it and most of their games being played at home as well. They have only played 1 game at a neutral location which they won but now they are coming off of a loss against Creighton in their last game, losing by 20+ points, and that game was also at home still. Now they are playing their 1st road game of the season here after that emotional game which they lost to a rival and this 1st road game of the season for them is also their 1st conference game as well. They are going up against a Minnesota team that is 5-3 this season and has not been great recently, losing 2 of their last 3 games, but both of those losses also came away from home and against good teams in San Francisco and Ohio State. They have actually won 5 of their 6 games at home this season with their only loss coming by 2 points against Missouri. Their last 3 straight wins there have all been by 10+ points and they are going to get up for this 1st home conference game of the season after going 0-1 in the Big 10 already with that road loss to Ohio State in their last game. Minnesota is going to cover the spread in this game.
