Wildcats vs. Cornhuskers Gameday
Northwestern has won four in a row and pushed Penn State over the edge. If they could win in Happy Valley, then winning in Lincoln does not seem so far-fetched.
Everyone was expecting head coach Matt Rhule to have Nebraska right by year three, and that is the way it is looking he has done it again.
They are off a tough loss, though, and need this game to prove they deserve to be considered a threat in the Big Ten.
Northwestern might be wise to get that critical 6th win sooner rather than later. The rest of their schedule is challenging.
Northwestern Wildcats
Last week, Northwestern shut out Purdue, 19-0. Now Purdue is not a strong program but shutouts are pretty rare in conference, though less so it seems this season – sorry Wisconin!
The offense still needs work though. They have not scored more than 22 points against a league opponent this season.
This is just ther third road game of the year. Thus far they are 1-1 SUATS. They have covered in five of their last six games overall.

Nebraska Cornhuskers
The Cornhuskers just played their worst game of the season. Losing to Minnesota, while scoring just 26 points. Prior to that their only loss this season was against Michigan.
Quarterback Dylan Raiola is completing 72 % of his passes but when you watch Nebraska play he does not look elite. It might be because they do not have a ton of talent around him.
Emmett Johnson dominated against Maryland a couple of weeks ago but his least productive game of the season was in last week’s loss. They need a bounceback performance against a good defense.
Thus far Nebraska has the top passing defense in the country. In our moden times that is impressive and they yield less than 20ppg.

4* Free Northwestern Wildcats vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers 2025 Week 9 NCAA Betting Prediction: Under 44.5
Usually when I see total that is under 45 point, I react with an over play. Unders have been good to me thus far this season though.
The offense just isn’t there and I would expect lots of bettors are putting this game into their teasers given that we are on the key number right now.
Nebraska has the better offense for sure, but Northwestern has done a good job against better groups so I think they try and turn this one into a grinder and hope for the best.
I think even if the Cornhuskers dominate, the pace of this one will be slow enough to keep the scoring down overall.
