Anyone who picks Nebraska to finish with 6 losses or more is doing it less because of talent and more because of disturbing systemic issues from the top down.
A number of people believe Purdue and Minnesota are swing games. I tend to see them as match up advantages for Nebraska in 2022. Quite frankly, I think both Minnesota and Purdue are betting locks for the UNDER.
But as much as I think those games are favorable, a big part of me thinks all of us are foolish to just assume Frost will beat Northwestern, Indiana, Rutgers, and Illinois.
Nebraska has been dramatically under prepared in season openers under Frost - Northwestern
Nebraska has been lousy in road openers under Frost.- Rutgers
Nebraska has always dropped at least one league home game where they were at least a TD favorite. - Indiana
Frost has never beaten an opponent coming off a bye. - Illinois
