Nebraska finally played a complete game last week. They were uneven in their opener, they handled Colorado for three quarters before they gagged it away, but they got over with an easy win over Northern Illinois.
They’ll look to carry that momentum into this week in their Big Ten opener against Illinois.

Illinois is coming off a disappointing loss against Eastern Michigan at home. They’ll look to rebound as they open Big Ten play.
Nebraska Cornhuskers
Nebraska was able to get their offense rolling last week on the ground and in the air. Adrian Martinez had a quality day throwing for two touchdowns and rushing for one.
Dedrick Mills was able to rush for over 100 yards on just eleven carries as the Cornhuskers averaged over 7 yards a pop.

They’ll face a little more resistance against Illinois, but if they can put up similar numbers against a Big Ten team on the road, that’ll be encouraging to Cornhusker fans moving forward.
You can’t forget about the defensive side of the ball either where they held Northern Illinois to less than 2.5 yards per rush and a little over 5 yards a pass.
Illinois Fighting Illini
After starting the year 2-0, Illinois is coming off a disappointing loss at home versus Eastern Michigan.
Illinois very much has to be concerned that Eastern Michigan was able to carve up their passing defense. Obviously, they’ll face a Nebraska team that has a pretty explosive offense and they’ll be able to run and pass on this Fighting Illini defense.
Also, Illinois hasn’t exactly faced a brutal schedule, so the fact that they rank in the middle of the pack in offense has got to be a red flag for them.
Once they get into the meat of the Big Ten schedule they’ll be playing some really tough defenses and that offense may sputter out in a few of those games.
In particular, against Michigan, Wisconsin and those last three games of the season. Those are some real tough games.

4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Nebraska -13
Nebraska is going to put up the points on Illinois. Their offense has slowly been getting rolling and I think they’ll continue to on against the Fighting Illini.
Illinois’ offense isn’t exactly anything to fear, either. So, you put it all together and I think Nebraska covers in this one.
