Nebraska football: Post-spring game-by-game predictions for 2023

Fresh off a bowl-clinching win, Nebraska will be feeling itself heading into a road game against Wisconsin. The Badgers will be fighting for first place in the Big Ten West under Luke Fickell while Nebraska is just trying to improve its bowl placement.

In the end, the home team wins as Wisconsin will move into a first-place tie in the Big Ten West and it’ll be up to Nebraska to break that in the final week against the other division contender.

Prediction: Loss (6-5, 3-5)

Nebraska stands between Iowa and a Big Ten title game berth. This rivalry game is going to have a little something extra on the line and that should be even more motivation for the Cornhuskers. Ruining the Hawkeyes’ Big Ten title berth bid would be fantastic.

But that won’t happen.

Cade McNamara and the new-look Iowa offense will be one of the most improved teams in the conference this year and they’ll go into Lincoln and pick up a big win over the rival Cornhuskers.

Prediction: Loss (6-6, 3-6)
