The Saturday comp play is on the Nebraska Cornhuskers at 4 eastern, The Huskers have won 17 straight to open the season and travel to take on Northwestern team that is under.500. They won here last season and are even better now. Rob notes that 17-0 road favorites of 11 or less have covered 80% long term. The Wildcats have struggled losing the last 4 in conference play. Nebraska has played 3 true road games all against teams well over .500 so we will back them here to get a win and cover. GL Rob V-
