The Nebraska Cornhuskers are hosting the No. 1 team in the country, as Southern California heads to America's heartland. For the first time in many years, the Huskers will play in a home contest that will have major implications on the National Championship.
Fans of the Trojans and Huskers have been talking smack all week via message boards, and national syndicated talk radio programs. The insults have had much to do with the obvious cultural differences between the two schools because of their geographic strongholds. The give-and-take has been fairly even from both sides. But when it comes to the betting public, there's been nothing equal about this huge weekend matchup.
This game has garnered the most wagering action of any game by far for the upcoming weekend, and it's been a very one-sided affair. Customers at SPORTSBETTING.COM are heavily backing the Trojans, as 85 percent of the wagers are on the road team that is laying 10 points.
This will be the biggest test the Trojans have faced thus far this season. They didn't look great in their opening game against Idaho, where they were installed as a 45-point favorite. They won by only 28 points against the overmatched Vandals. Many experts think that Nebraska has a team that can challenge the Trojans in many key areas. Could we see a No. 1 unseated when the smoke clears Saturday night?
The Trojans have covered the number the last six years in their first road game, and they haven't lost a non-conference game during the regular season since 2002.
