The Iowa Hawkeyes are the rock in the shoe of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Nebraska rightfully thinks of itself as a historic blueblood. Iowa’s lineage is good, but it lacks Nebraska’s five national championships. However, Iowa has dominated its series with the Big Red in recent years. On Friday, Nebraska will host Iowa in the College Football Betting regular season finale. Last week, the Huskers were humiliated in a loss at Penn State. Thus, a win over Iowa would give Nebraska grace with its increasingly impatient fan base.
