10* College Football Game of the Year
(NCAAF) Iowa vs. Nebraska,
Point Spread: 2.50 | -107.00 Nebraska (Home)
Result: Loss
In key Big Ten action, the unbeaten Iowa Hawkeyes come into Lincoln to face the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Friday afternoon.

Nebraska is team that already beat an unbeaten team this season, spoiling the plans for Michigan State a few weeks ago. At 5-6, this is Nebraska's last chance to become bowl eligible, and they could very easily be 11-0 as they had the lead in all 6 losses late and 5 of their losses in came the final seconds.

Nebraska is rested, having played two Saturdays ago in a 31-14 win at Rutgers. It was their second win in a row, as they try to salvage a 3-6 start to the season. Iowa won their 11th in a row to start the season on Saturday, a 40-20 home win over Purdue.



Tommy Armstrong, Jr. Has given it his best effort in the new Mike Riley Cornhuskers offense, as he has 21 TD throws and 12 picks on 2560 yards passing. He has 5 picks in the last two games, a pattern that would really hurt in this game against the opportunistic Hawkeyes. Armstrong, Jr. Is also useful with his feet, having run in 6 touchdown scores. The run game is in the hands of talented backs like Terrell Newby and Imani Cross. The ‘Huskers have a nice 1-2 punch at receiver with Jordan Westerkamp and Brandon Reilly. They put up an average of 33.6 points a game—a respectable figure in what is really a transitional season for Nebraska.

The Nebraska defense has been pretty good against the run, but that might be a result of teams having so much success with what is really a backwards secondary. They give up an average of over 300 yards per game and this area of the team is a big reason why Nebraska will be at home during bowl season if they don't score the win this week. They have shown some fight in the last two games, holding off Michigan State, before allowing only 14 to Rutgers. Lincoln is a very tough place to play especially late in the season and the Cornhuskers will be pumped here.

An 11-0 team versus a 5-6 Nebraska team and Iowa is only a 2.5 pt favorite. The Oddsmakers are begging you to take Iowa but we aren't biting and we'll take the under-rated Cornhuskers here on Friday afternoon as our 10* COLLEGE GAME OF THE YEAR$$.
