Nebraska football vs. Indiana best bets for Week 5
The Nebraska football team squares off against Indiana on Saturday night, and if you’re not sure exactly sure who is going to come out on top or where the smart money is going to go in this one, you’re likely, not alone.
For the most part, it’s actually been pretty easy to pick against the Nebraska football team since their loss to Northwestern. However, the Indiana Hoosiers are a bit of an enigma.
While IU is 3-1 on the young season, all kinds of stats show it’s largely smoke and mirrors. That includes the fact that they aren’t much better against the spread than the Huskers.
Best Nebraska football bets Week 3
The Nebraska football team seems to be as big an enigma when it comes to bets as the Hoosiers, considering the line has jumped around quite a bit so far. The Huskers opened as a relatively small favorite at -3.5 on Sunday.
Earlier this week, that line actually ballooned quite a bit as Nebraska was eventually as much as -6.5, according to some oddsmakers. Now the line appears to have balanced out a bit as FanDuel and WynnBet currently have Nebraska at -5.5 for Saturday.

One thing that has stayed relatively steady has been the total. It opened at 61.5, and FanDuel has it just under that at 61, while WynnBett is still showing that original 61.5 for the grand total.
The Nebraska football hasn’t just been bad against the spread this year. In fact, it has an ATS losing streak of five games dating back to last season. It’s also lost eight of the last 10.
Indiana is also 2-10 over the same span of time. Considering that historically, Indiana has been one of the worst teams in the Big Ten. Not just in the last few years but in the last few decades. While that makes it tempting to take the Nebraska football team to cover, it’s not a particularly safe bet.
Official Prediction: Nebraska Football 33, Indiana 30.
