Creighton BlueJays at Nebraska Cornhuskers Prediction

The Bluejays will be playing their first true road game tonight when they play Cornhuskers in Nebraska and while they g=have yet to taste defeat; they haven’t had the toughest schedule this season. The Cornhuskers have had some tests playing Clemson, Virginia Tech and UCLA this season and while they didn’t come away with a victory keep in mind that none of the three games were at home where they’re 4-0 this season. Some of the value has been lost since the opening line, but I think the home side still has some value at the reduced spread.
