Florida International vs Nebraska Prediction

Florida International has the athleticism and the outside shooting to scare Nebraska, but it’s going to be interesting to see if those shots fall on the road in a tough environment. Nebraska also has a physical edge, and FIU isn’t used to facing a team like this most nights. Nebraska has covered each of its last five games and six of its last 7 games overall. We’re laying just under 20 points. Nebraska’s physical style of play should take its toll on FIU. I’ll lay the points.
