A few interesting facts about Nebraska vs. Northwestern since Nebraska joined the B1G:
Nebraska holds the series lead at 3-2.
4 out of 5 games have been decided by 3 points or less.
The largest win occurred the last meeting at Ryan Field where the Huskers won by 21.
The opening line has Nebraska favored by 7 points on the road. Before the rough start by Northwestern, I had pegged this spread at much closer to a field goal.
I think because of the history, I'd be more inclined to take the 7 points if I were betting the game. Fortunately, I won't be, so I can just cheer for a Husker win. I think it will be a tough one, however.
