Houston Christian vs Nebraska Prediction

Nebraska is expected to outperform Houston Christian on both sides of the line of scrimmage. While Houston Christian may move the ball at times, the Huskers will be too much over four quarters. Nebraska will be too tough offensively for the Huskies to make enough stops. Final Score Prediction: Nebraska Cornhuskers win and cover ATS 51-3.
