So you are predicting that Raiola doesn't play much or at all?

Its funny... last week I would've been absolutely positive that Nebraska was about to go 1-1 in their next two. Ironically, I thought they would beat Minnesota and then lose to Northwestern after everybody stroked their egos for a week and acted like Northwestern had ZERO shot to win the game.

Call me crazy, but I think the reverse now happens and this team shows up prepared and ready to compete - which leads to a win.

I'm also one of the few fans who is thankful we can put the stupid playoff talk to rest. It was dumb when they were 3-0. It was dumb at 5-1. and I think it will be dumb when they are 6-2 and some idiots bring it up again as a "possibility" if they can beat USC.

This is a flawed team, but there are still a lot of opportunities for improvement and success.
 
Just to piss some of you off.

Here’s my prediction and breakdown for the upcoming Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. Northwestern Wildcats game on October 25, 2025:




✅ What the data suggests​


  • Nebraska opens as roughly an 8-point favorite at home. SI+2Dimers+2
  • Offensively, Nebraska is fairly strong: around 416 yards per game, good passing numbers. WRALSportsFan.com+1
  • Defensively, Nebraska is very tough against the pass (top in the Big Ten) but less strong against the run. WRALSportsFan.com
  • Northwestern has momentum (recent wins) and a defense that has shown improvement. Inside NU
  • However, Northwestern struggles more on offense, especially with the passing game being near the bottom. FOX Sports+2theScore.com+2
  • Nebraska has home-field advantage and a roster that appears more talented overall.



🎯 My Prediction​


  • Winner: Nebraska
  • Projected Score: Nebraska ~ 27, Northwestern ~ 16
    • I expect a somewhat lower-scoring game given Northwestern’s defense and Nebraska’s recent offensive hiccups.
  • Margin: Nebraska wins by ~10–12 points.



⚠️ Key Factors to Watch​


  • If Nebraska protects the quarterback and controls the line of scrimmage, they’ll win comfortably.
  • If Nebraska’s run defense falters and Northwestern is able to establish the ground game, the Wildcats could keep it close.
  • Turnovers will matter: Northwestern tends to depend on taking advantage of mistakes.
  • Nebraska must finish drives in the red zone with touchdowns, not field goals. That will separate a good win from a dominant one.

Congratulations on being able to use Chat GPT
 
Idk. I hope we win and want to believe Minny was some sort of dipshit fluke but it did not give me warm fuzzy feel goods about this game. Either way I think it's uncomfortably close.

NU - 17
NW - 14
