When Week 3 started, the Nebraska football game vs. Houston Christian wasn't even on Las Vegas' board. That's how big the blowout is expected to be.
There's the added bonus that, generally, FBS games against FCS teams don't always get odds. However, if someone wants to put some money on the Huskers vs the Huskies, they're now able to do so.
The Nebraska football team comes into its final non-conference tune-up against this cupcake opponent looking to iron out all the flaws before it kicks off the Big Ten season in Week 4. Meanwhile, HCU is trying to get through its buy-games before it can really get into things at the FCS level.
Nebraska football vs Houston Christian final odds
While there wasn't a line when the week started, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Huskers are now a whopping 43.5-point favorite. In other words, NU is expected to win by more than six touchdowns.
The total points in the game are sitting at 54.5 as of Saturday morning. Neither of those numbers should shift much before the game kicks off at 11am on FS1.
That kind of line with that total means that the Cornhuskers are expected to score plenty and shouldn't be giving up many points. Of course, NU has already shown they can do that, considering they're coming off a 68-0 win. They both covered and hit the over, all by themselves, in Week 2 against the Akron Zips.
Nebraska vs Houston Christian final prediction
The Nebraska football team is hunting a berth in the College Football Playoffs. They want to make sure that when they play the cupcakes, they beat them down. They'll do that fairly easily on Saturday morning.
Nebraska wins 59-3
