Bethune-Cookman vs Nebraska Prediction 

Nebraska comes into this matchup after picking up a 20-point win in their first game, and they are a huge favorite once again in this game. The Cornhuskers scored 87 points in that first victory and shot nearly 50% from the field. Bethune-Cookman was blown out by 33 points against Texas Tech in their opening game and they only shot 41% from the field. I have some uncertainty about how this Nebraska team is going to be this season, but I do think they win this game easily at home. Take the Cornhuskers here.
