- The Nebraska Cornhuskers are 14.5-point favorites over the Buffalo Bulls.
- With -260 odds, the Texas Longhorns are big favorites over the Arkansas Razorbacks.
- An Iowa-Iowa State matchup has the Hawkeyes as +165 underdogs to the Cyclones.
LINCOLN, Neb. – The Buffalo Bulls take a trip to Lincoln this weekend to take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers as 14.5 point underdogs.
Buffalo is 9-2 against the spread in their last 11 games, while Nebraska has failed to cover in two of their last three games in which they were 14 point favorites or more.
Nebraska has struggled with ball security so far in 2021, losing three fumbles in their first two matchups against Fordham and Illinois. Meanwhile, Buffalo accrued five sacks in their first matchup of 2021, which could lead to even more turnovers for the Cornhuskers.
Look for Buffalo to cover the 14.5 point spread given by online sportsbooks and possibly even win the game outright.
Texas (-260) Vs. Arkansas
The Texas Longhorns take on the Arkansas Razorbacks in a tough week-two road matchup that opened with Texas as 4.5-point favorites and has since seen the line move to 7.
Texas is fresh off the heels of an impressive week one victory over a solid Louisiana Lafayette team in which they rushed a whopping 42 times for 170 yards. Arkansas was successful in stopping the run in their week one matchup against Rice, who was limited to 81 rushing yards on 39 attempts.

Arkansas has won just four of their last 20 matchups straight up, while Texas has won six of their last seven. While it’s entirely possible that Texas covers the spread, this may be a low-scoring affair, making the moneyline (-260) an easier play.
Iowa (+165) Vs. Iowa State
The Iowa Hawkeyes take on in-state rival Iowa State in a marquee Week 2 matchup this weekend. Iowa is fresh off the heels of an impressive 34-6 victory over Big 10 foe Indiana – a contest that saw the Hawkeyes’ offense and defense both firing on all cylinders.
Iowa has won seven straight games as well as each of their last five against Iowa State.
Iowa State, on the other hand, struggled to a 16-10 victory over Northern Iowa in their season opener last week. They allowed 230 passing yards in the win.
There is a case to be made that Iowa should be favored in this one, so those betting on college football can’t go wrong taking the Hawkeyes with plus money (+165).
