College football odds, picks and prediction for Nebraska Cornhuskers vs Illinois Fighting Illini. Week 6 betting free pick and game analysis.
The Matt Rhule Era at Nebraska has been nothing special through five games but the Cornhusker can get back to .500 with a win over Illinois on Friday. We handicap the Big Ten showdown in our college football betting picks below.A Friday night game between two coaches who've won double-digit games in a season on multiple occasions? That would usually generate plenty of excitement, but this is Nebraska vs.
As a whole, it’s been ugly for Cornhusker offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield’s unit. They currently sit 90th in EPA per play and 116th in EPA per pass while averaging 139.4 passing yards per game, seventh worst in the country and second worst among Power Five programs, with the same number of touchdown passes as interceptions .
Much like the Cornhuskers, the Illini simply cannot figure it out with their passing attack. It ranks 89th in EPA per pass to pull the offense down to 73rd in EPA per play. Despite averaging over 100 passing yards more per game than Nebraska, they’ve also only thrown five touchdown passes this season... but seven interceptions.
Despite the similarities between these two programs, the Cornhuskers should have a slight edge as road dogs heading into Memorial Stadium. Rhule’s team is built to keep this game close with neither team being set up well to score very much. The line hasn’t moved much in this Big Ten showdown with Illinois opening as 3- to 3.5-point home favorites. Most books remain where they opened or have shifted a 0.5 point in either direction.
