Nebraska vs. Iowa Prediction

I’m with Iowa here. I know Nebraska would love to improve their standing in the bowl game order coming up, but so would Iowa and the Hawkeyes have the added incentive of senior night here. I think Friday night, at Kinnick and senior night is too much of a spot for Nebraska to overcome here. Give me the Hawkeyes.
