The Hawkeyes made quick work of Illinois last week, beating them 63-0. Now that was Illinois and this is Nebraska. The lines makers push this 10-point spread out a bit too far based off what they did last week. The Huskers are playing MUCH better defense the back half of the season. While their offense is still having its issues, defensively they can compete with Iowa. I don't think it'll be enough for the win, but look for the Huskers to make this a tug-o-war throughout this game.

After a disastrous 0-6 start, the Cornhuskers have not only won three of their previous four contests -- including a 9-6 win vs. Michigan State -- they've covered the spread in six straight. But on Saturday, Nebraska takes on Iowa, which is coming off a 63-0 shellacking of Illinois. My simulations indicate the Hawkeyes cover the spread in 63 percent of simulations while winning by an average of 15 points. Gotta go with Iowa.
