Meanwhile, the Cornhuskers are 5-1 ATS in their last six overall and 4-1 ATS in their last five Sunday games. The over is 13-6 in Nebraska’s last 19 overall.
PICK: I’m staying with Iowa here. The Hawkeyes have done fairly well during this rough Big Ten schedule; for the most part they’re staying with opponents and the losses haven’t been awful. Iowa is also scoring well against just about every team they’ve faced. As for Nebraska, they’ve been at 65 points or fewer in three of their last five games but the Cornhuskers can score decently in comparable matchups. Still, this one should belong to Iowa if they play to their capabilities.
