Nebraska Football: Game-by-game predictions for 2020 season

After having to take on Ohio State, Penn State and Iowa, the Huskers road to a securing a bowl bid won’t get any easier as they head to a place that has been a house of horrors for them in Camp Randall to take on the Wisconsin Badgers.

Since joining the Big Ten, Nebraska has just one win over Wisconsin, which came back in 2012 in Lincoln. The Badgers would get revenge later that season, however, in the Big Ten title game as they have won each of the seven previous matchups, including all six since the introduction of the Freedom’s Trophy.

Nebraska last beat Wisconsin in Madison in 1966 and that losing streak figures to roll on in 2020 as the Badgers will need this late-season victory to fight off Minnesota and Iowa for a division title.

Final Score: Wisconsin 34, Nebraska 24 (5-6, 3-5)

The Huskers will close out their 2020 season with another brutal challenge as the Minnesota Gophers, coming off an 11-2 campaign, will travel to Lincoln.

Nebraska won the last matchup between the two programs in Lincoln with a 53-28 win in 2018, but last season were manhandled by the Gophers in a 34-7 road loss and all-time trail the long-time series 33–25–2.

While the Gophers won 11 games last season, they could not secure a division title. If they have that same opportunity again in 2020 and need to beat Nebraska in the regular season finale to finish the job, it’s hard to imagine them losing.

Final Score: Minnesota 42, Nebraska 33 (5-7, 3-6)
