Although Minnesota is undefeated at home, this is a tough matchup for the Gophers. Minnesota ranks 126th nationally, averaging just 3.0 yards per carry, which will put a lot of pressure on freshman quarterback Drake Lindsey. The problem for Minnesota is that with such an ineffective rushing game, they’ll face a Nebraska defense ranked No. 1 in the country in passing yards allowed per attempt (4.6).

Given Nebraska’s five-game losing streak to Minnesota, there should be no look-ahead or letdown factor. The Cornhuskers have scored at least 27 points in each of their last five games, and Minnesota will have a hard time keeping up. Take Nebraska to cover.
