The oddsmakers have Nebraska as a 5 1/2 point favorite over MSU, but I 
think Nebraska has only covered the spread once so far this season, 
maybe twice after the Minnesota game.

It will depend on which Husker team shows up, the one that lost badly
to Wisconsin or the one that surfaced in the 2nd half of the Ohio State
game.  

Every game left on Nebraska's schedule (MSU, Northwestern, Penn State,
Michigan and Iowa) is one that they could win or could lose.  Yes, that 
includes the Northwestern game in Lincoln, assuming Persa is healthy.  
(Post-game reports were encouraging.)  

But it will take 60 minutes of solid football by both the offense and
the defense for the Cats to win in Lincoln, and that's not been
something we've seen this season, on either side of the ball.
