From the booth
The model favored NEB to win, and the call landed.
Nebraska's got this one locked up at 97 percent, and honestly, it's not even close. The Cornhuskers are getting Vegas' full backing here at 30 and a half points, and the betting market is right there with them. Bowling Green's defense has been absolutely shredded over their last five games, and Nebraska's shown they can clamp down on that side of the ball, so this looks like a classic mismatch in Lincoln.
