IND @ NEB • Sat 12:00pm

NEB +8

-112

Spread

Picked: Oct 5 @ 3:14pm

Analysis

Nebraska boasts a stronger pass-block win rate (57% vs. 48%) and pass-rush win rate (58% vs. 51%) compared to Indiana. The Cornhuskers’ +9 sack differential (compared to Indiana’s +3) reflects this edge. Nebraska also leads in net yards per play (+1.12 vs. +0.88), while playing a slightly easier schedule. The Hoosiers will play consecutive road games following a trip to Rutgers last week. Memorial Stadium will be buzzing for Big Noon kickoff, and that energy could give Nebraska the push they need to not only stay competitive, but possibly pull off the upset. My model suggests the current line significantly undervalues Nebraska, projecting them as 6-point home chalk. Take the points and sprinkle some on the plus-money line for sure.

-111

Over/Under

Picked: Oct 7 @ 2:23pm

Analysis

There's wind in the forecast in Lincoln which is why this total has dropped three points during the week. But that doesn't scare me with two dynamic offenses in play. Both Indiana and Nebraska are averaging more than 43 points per game this season. Sure, there's risk that the Hoosiers will play it conservative with a titanic matchup on deck vs. Ohio State next week. But then again, that's not Curt Cignetti's style. I think Nebraska, despite its 30 game losing streak against ranked teams, keeps it close for three quarters before the Hoosiers score twice in the fourth quarter to hit our Over line. Indiana has scored 30 or more points in 15 of 21 games dating back to 2025. Indiana 34, Nebraska 23.

STONEH @ SACHRT • Sat 12:00pm

SACHRT -7.5

-102

Spread

Picked: Oct 9 @ 10:00am

Analysis

Sacred Heart coach Mark Nofri has been an excellent leader and developer of talent throughout his time at the helm. His teams are always built strong at the point of attack and are able to play a physical brand of football. Now that they're playing in the CAA, they have more access to better talent in those trenches, which will help them slowly choke out the Skyhawks and cover.

PRINCE @ WAG • Sat 12:00pm

PRINCE -22.5

-108

Spread

Picked: Oct 9 @ 10:14am

Analysis

Princeton's offense looks to be kicking it in high gear the last couple of weeks. Right now they're able to march down the field with proficiency. On the other side of the field, Wagner's defense yields about 40 point per game, which makes this an easy trip to Staten Island and trip to covertown.

TXAM @ MIZZOU • Sat 12:00pm

MIZZOU -3

-119

Spread

Picked: Oct 9 @ 10:20am

Analysis

I like how the Tigers have attacked the trenches with regards to the run game. This is on both sides of the ball. We saw this team last week dominate in the run game by running through the Florida defense and shutting down the Gators run game. The edge here is the trust in Mizzou QB Austin Simmons over Aggies QB Marcel Reed in terms of making the key plays in the passing game.
