Sitting out two games because of injury may have been a good scenario for Nebraska QB Adrian Martinez. In the first handful of games, he did not play to the levels we saw a season ago. Expect a shift as the Cornhuskers need this road win over Purdue to get them one step closer to a bowl game. Take Nebraska.

Listen, if Nebraska doesn't go on the road and cover this spread against the skeletal remains of this Purdue roster, there are major problems in Lincoln. It should happen, I just don't trust Nebraska enough to believe it will. I do like the Under, however, as it's going to be very cold and windy, and with all Purdue's injuries on offense, I don't know where its points come from.

Nebraska has lost its last two games, but it didn’t have QB Adrian Martinez. He gave an indication this week that he will be starting against Purdue. The Boilermakers sunk to new depths with a home loss to Illinois last week. Backup QB Jack Plummer has been horrendous and star WR Rondale Moore has been missing since week 5. Nebraska is the play.
