The Nebraska Cornhuskers and Northwestern Wildcats face off on Saturday in a Week 0 college football game at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ohio. Wehn these two teams faced in October of 2021 it was Nebraska that secured the 56-7 victory.
Nebraska Cornhuskers
The Nebraska Cornhuskers need to have a big season, or the school might have no other choice but to move on from Scott Frost. Last season Nebraska finished with a 3-9 record, but they were busy this offseason in the transfer portal.
The big move this season for the Cornhuskers this offseason was bringing in former Texas quarterback Casey Thompson. He is going to be the starter in this game, and the Cornhuskers need him to be good here.
The team also brought in wide receiver Trey Palmer who will also need to have a big season. Last season the Cornhuskers averaged 27.5 points per game and if they score any less than that here, that would be a big disappointment.
Northwestern Wildcats
On the other side of this matchup is the Northwestern Wildcats who sit with a 3-9 record overall but this is a team that looks like they are heading in the wrong direction. Last season the defense took a big step forward, and the offense had some major issues moving the ball.
Ryan Hilinski started five games last year for the Wildcats and I would expect to see him again starting in this game. If he were to struggle though, it wouldn’t be a big shock to me if the WIldcats play a couple of quarterbacks under center.
On defense the Wildcats are young, but the strength should be the secondary, and that is going to need to be strong in this game if they want a chance to secure the victory here.

4* Free Nebraska Cornhuskers vs Northwestern NCAA Betting Final Analysis:
Northwestern’s offense was the biggest issue last season, and it’s going to be the difference again in this game. I do expect Nebraska’s offense to be decent, but not be one of those games where they score over 30 points. This game is going to have issues getting to even 45 points and the under will cash here.
