Nebraska at Minnesota

The Nebraska Cornhuskers are short on talent, especially by Big-10 standards. They have no choice but to play a slow tempo to stay in touch with superior opponents. That has led them to allow no team to score more than 75 points against them through 21 games, and just four opponents have reached the 70-point mark. That puts this huge number for Minnesota in jeopardy. Despite the talent differential, Nebraska should be able to keep this one down enough to stay in touch with a huge number. They have done so in their two games vs. Michigan, and Michigan State as comparable big dogs. Nebraska has held their own in conference play at 5-2 ATS in their last seven, which includes 4-1 ATS vs. a winning team in their last five. There are too many points, so play on Nebraska.
