Nebraska at Penn State Best Bets
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the visitors tonight: Nebraska +1.5 (-110)
“With five wins in the last six games, Nebraska’s season has life to it and a run over the final five games could see them sneak into the NBAA tournament. Penn State’s season is over after seven straight losses and a 1-11 record in the previous 12 games. Nebraska has the better defense, turnover numbers, and momentum, so give me the Huskers +1.5 out to -1.”
