Expert score prediction: Nebraska vs. Rutgers

Nebraska football enters the final quarter of the regular season with a major uphill battle. The Huskers are 5-4 and now potentially miss out on a bowl game. Though Rutgers is sitting at 2-7 on the season, this game is riddled with factors that could provide a win to either side. Both teams are hurting both in record and in injuries, which only adds to the unpredictable nature of this game. The Huskers’ four-game skid puts them in a vulnerable position, especially with them being on the road for the second straight week.

However, the Scarlet Knights have yet to hold a Big Ten team below 28 points across six conference games, providing ample opportunity for Nebraska to snap its offensive drought.
