Nebraska Cornhuskers

NEB -6.5

(-116)

Scott Frost's seat is about as hot as it gets, and while I don't think Nebraska is going to return to the status of college football's elite, I do think they will have a better record than a season ago. Meanwhile, Brett Bielema is stepping into a tough spot with Illinois. I'll take the Cornhuskers by a touchdown, even if they are on the road.
