The Nebraska Cornhuskers aren’t world beaters, as they’re a bottom half Big Ten team that always has issues offensively and can never blow out lesser talented teams. The Idaho State Bengals have also been decent through three games, which includes giving Pepperdine a run for its money. Nebraska should be favored, but I’m never laying big chalk with them.
