This will be a meaningful game in the Big 12 North. The winner will have control of fighting Colorado for the outright title. The loser will have a steep uphill battle. This game simply comes down to matchups and the Husker defense is very superior to the D unit of their counterpart on Mizzou. Mizzou has Brad Smith (questionable for this game) and some talented WR's which will keep NU on their heels a bit, but if Taylor continues to be efficient, NU has all the tools to win this game. Home teams at +3 to -3 after failing to cover the spread in 2 out of their last 3 games, winning 60-80% or more of their games on the season are 30-67 since 1992. While we haven't been big Husker fans this year, they are the better team here. If Missouri plays like it did last weekend against Iowa State, NU wins by 7 to 10. Nebraska plus the points for one star.
