This is an interesting matchup. From all accounts, despite what those in Lincoln would like to believe, NU will have a tough time this season. They are leaning on a ton of inexperienced players, and face their first division I foe. Emerging LB Octavien got hurt last week and is out for the season, while Barclay returns from his one game suspension here. Wake lost last week, but faced a better QB, and will keep this game close, with their speed rushers and running game. Underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points in non-conference games that returned 4+ more total starters and an experienced QB returning are 32-8 (80%) ATS against team with new QB over the past decade. Nebraska is 0-7 after allowing under 10 points over the past three seasons. Two stars on the Deamon Deacons plus the points and we'll also back Wake to win outright with a money-line play for one star.
