North Florida vs Nebraska Prediction
Nebraska comes into this matchup after winning five of their first six games, and they will be at home here. The Cornhuskers do have one loss against a good St. Mary’s team, but they also have a win over Creighton. North Florida has won two games in a row and they are the better shooting team at the moment. The Ospreys have wins over South Carolina and Georgia Tech earlier this year, so they won’t be intimidated in this game. I like how North Florida has played this year and I think they can keep this game close. Take the Ospreys.
David’s Pick North Florida +15.5
