Nebraska Cornhuskers at Iowa Hawkeyes Prediction For 11/29/2024

Nebraska and Iowa will do battle in college football on Black Friday in Big Ten competition. Both teams have secured a spot in bowl season already, but both teams will look to get a win in this game to send them into their bowl game with some momentum. Here, we make our college football picks for Nebraska vs Iowa, a game Iowa enters as a 5.5-point favorite.

Can Nebraska End Regular Season With Second Straight Win?

The Nebraska Cornhuskers snapped a four-game losing streak last time out, beating the Wisconsin Badgers at home to improve to 6-5 on the season. The Cornhuskers are now bowl-eligible, which is a huge weight lifted going into this Nebraska vs Iowa matchup. But Nebraska has lost three straight road games in the Big Ten, with their only win in a true road game this year coming against an abysmal Purdue Boilermakers team. A win here would be a huge step forward for the Huskers going into whichever bowl game they end up in.

Iowa Looks to Extend Home Winning Streak

Iowa won on the road against Maryland in their last game to improve to 7-4 overall on the season and 5-3 in the Big Ten. The Hawkeyes have a chance in this game to finish off a stellar regular season at home, as they are 5-1 at Kinnick Stadium heading into this matchup. The last three of those home wins have come against conference opponents, with Iowa holding Washington, Northwestern, and Wisconsin under 17 points in those three games. Another dominant defensive performance from Iowa could get them to the eight-win mark before their bowl game.

Nebraska vs Iowa Pick & Prediction

We are laying the points with the home team in this week’s Nebraska vs Iowa contest from Iowa City. The Hawkeyes have been just too much for conference opponents at home this year. We expect that to remain the case against a Nebraska team that has been just dreadful on the road for most of the 2024 season.
