Shane’s Free Pick

This Northwestern defense is elite and they are going to lockdown again in this game. Northwestern is giving up only 60.9 points per game and Nebraska is going to struggle to get to 60 points again here. The lack of scoring by Nebraska is going to be the difference as Northwestern gets the job done. Back Northwestern against the spread.
