Looking at our strengths and weaknesses, their strength and weaknesses, and how they match up, along with the notoriously close games, I am going to predict a blowout win!

Huskers 41 Purple Cats 17
 
Pat Fitzgerald has a couple of tricks up his sleeve for sure but Nebraska pulls away late 31-20. If you get a chance, stop by for a meal at Ditka's restaurant in Chicago and may I recommend "The Fridge" burger.

Low scoring, pretty much like all of our games in the past. 31-24 Nebraska. GBR. Chicago takeover time!
 
Points and results were +3 in the Oregon game. We are +6.5 for this game. I feel we are going to be more willful , would guess we are +14. Our youth will really show the benefit of the three games played; we have played pretty good on the road recently. GBR
 
I don't think this one will be close at all.

Nebraska 42
Northwestern 10
 
They are down 3 Cbs and a starting safety.

7 to 6 Nebraska...this is tough game mentally...Will tell us this team's long term potential.
 
NU 55
NU 6

NW sucks this year. This better be a huge blowout by the end of the 1st quarter.

No slow start this time. Huskers pile on early and the backups will play the whole 4th quarter. Lots of PT for everyone.

NW asks Riley if he is ok with 12 minute quarters for the second half. Smokin

Northwestern will sellout to stop the run and force Armstrong to beat them with his arm and decision making. They held Nebraska to 82 yards on 38 carries last year.

The Nebraska offense is performing better this year and the defense will shut down NW offense. Huskers roll 34-13
 
27-12 NU. I think that NU has a small letdown but Northwesterns D is in trouble.

And NW secondary is decimated by injuries.
 
I think Nebraska will struggle to score at will and may experience some turnovers again.

I think Nebraska will trail at some point maybe at half or into the third quarter.

I think Nebraska ultimately makes the plays necessary to win, but it will be closer than most expect, also in part due to an emotional hangover from Oregon.

Nebraska 27
Northwestern 21
