Obviously, things have been fraught for Rhule since the season started. Nebraska football is looking to right the ship as heavy favorites There’s also the fact that this will be the first Husker home game for Matt Rhule and company.Ĭouple of Sportsbooks have the #Huskers as nearly two-TDs favorite or Northern Illinois /PXTz5UFmZU It’s likely that the Huskies’ inability to score against the Salukis that is helping the Nebraska football team be that heavy a favorite. While the Huskers lost 13-10 to Minnesota in a heart breaker and then hung tough with a revitalized Colorado for a half, the Huskies were beating Boston College to open the season and then losing to FCS team, Southern Illinois, 14-11. However, that Nebraska is favored by 13.5 by Draft Kings and by 13 by Caesar’s Sportsbook is probably more of a statement on what they think about Northern Illinois. That statement is probably a bit eyebrow raising for a Nebraska football fanbase that has watched the Huskers struggle mightily in the first two games of the season. Nebraska football is favored by more points against NIU this week than the offense averages per game. Early season struggles scoring and turning the ball over aren’t worry odds makers when it comes to Nebraska football’s game against Northern Illinois.
