Title: Nebraska (3-0) at Michigan State (2-1) Game Week
Post by: ELA on September 23, 2026, 08:46:15 AM

Time to finally learn something about both teams.  Both teams have performed exactly to expectations, Nebraska handling 3 body bag games, MSU handling their two body bag games, and losing to the #3 team in the country.

First time either team is facing a team somewhat on their level.  Huskers are a 5.5 point favorite, and SP+ gives them a 71.5% chance to win.

Nebraska 27, Michigan State 24

started as a 4.5 favorite - SP+ seems to like the Huskers

I'll be shocked if it's not a one score game - could go either way

Yes.  Interesting matchup. I’ve only seen brief periods of each team play.

I picked MSU in the elimination game, but might pick Nebraska in the pick em game. 😂

hedging

this game will tell me what the season opener vs Cincy told me last season --- can the Huskers hold up in the trenches?

I think the O-line has improved - I'm doubting the D-line
