Nebraska Football vs. Indiana predictions and odds for Week 5

The Nebraska football team returns to action on Saturday night and when it does, it will be taking on an Indiana football team that has already won more games this year, than it did in all of 2021. Does that mean that the Huskers should be worried about another home loss? Maybe. While there’s been a lot of changes to the Cornhuskers since the start of the season, Nebraska at its heart is a 1-3 squad that is on the cusp of one of the worst seasons in program history.

If the Nebraska football team doesn’t win on Saturday, it will mean that its been more than a calendar year since the last time the Huskers had a win over an FBS team. The Curse of Scott Frost may or may not be real, but it’s clear the Cornhuskers are having some real problems winning games.

So what’s going to happen on Saturday? Will Nebraska football not only reverse the trend when it comes to wins but also against the spread? We’ve got you covered for this game and where the smart money should go.

Nebraska football vs. Indiana Odds Week 3

Vegas has been hard to figure out when it comes to the Huskers because the lines seem to be constantly hinting that NU is better than it is. This week, the line opened at Nebraska -3.5 and has grown to -6.5 on FanDuel and -6 on WynnBet.

That spread seems surprisingly high considering where the Cornhuskers have been most of the season. The total on the other hand, has stayed pretty steady. It opened at 61.5 and is still that at FanDuel while it’s up to 62 on WynnBet.

Nebraska football vs. Indiana Prediction Week 5

So far this season, I’m 4-0 when it comes to making predictions about the Huskers and where to lay the best money, but this week is a bit more difficult. Nebraska is 0-4 against the spread but Indiana is just 1-3.

Still, it’s hard to take NU against the spread these days. It’s quite a bit easier to predict that there’s going to be a lot of scoring going on.

This week’s final prediction is Nebraska football 38, Indiana 35.
