Despite suffering a brutal loss at the hands of Ohio State on Saturday night in Lincoln, Vegas likes the Huskers to rebound against Big Ten West foe Northwestern this coming week.

The Circa Las Vegas Sports Book put out its opening line on Sunday afternoon, and has the Huskers as an eight-point favorite over Northwestern.

Northwestern brings a 1-3 record to Lincoln — 0-2 in the Big Ten — for Saturday’s matchup, and has dropped back to back decisions to Michigan State and Wisconsin to start the conference slate. Northwestern’s lone win this year is a home victory over UNLV.

Nebraska brings a 3-2 record in to Saturday’s matchup following the 48-7 loss to Ohio State. The series between the two teams has always been close. Northwestern has won the last two matchups, with Nebraska holding a 7-5 advantage all-time. Northwestern has won three different times in Lincoln since Nebraska joined the Big Ten in 2011.

Saturday’s game is set for a 3 p.m. kick and will be televised nationally on FOX.
