Nebraska (-36.5) over South Alabama

No team has more pre-season hype in the Big Ten than Nebraska.  The expectations are clear.   Win the West Division title.

Getting off to a fast start will help set the tone for the season.  South Alabama will make it easy.

The Jackrabbits were terrible in all phases last year and don’t have the skill to make it competitive.

Adrian Martinez will feast on their defense passing for over 200 yards and rushing for over 100.

Nebraska wins and covers. Cornhuskers 49-7.
