Who We Like: Nebraska has been tough on the road this season when it comes to the betting window. The Cornhuskers are 8-3 against the spread on the road and the Huskers could be playing with a chip on their shoulder. They finished fourth in the Big Ten, yet weren’t even considered for the NCAA Tournament and now open the NIT on the road against Mississippi State, who finished seventh in the SEC. The Huskers have been strong at covering in general, going 22-8 against the spread. That means that bettors haven been overlooking them most of the season. I think they are being overlooked again tonight.
