I am surprised that Nebraska is favored, especially since their QB is hurt.  I don't get that.  I am not surprised that Penn State is favored.  Mich State is no good and cannot stop a decent passing team (130th is passing defense), and Penn State can throw it a little bit.

As many know, I'm in heart of Big Red Country 

For Neb, the positives as to why they MAY win/cover:

Its their last game (call it their bowl game)

they've lost many games by just a score or less

it's at home

senior day

They have NOTHING to lose, so could lay it all out there

Iowa has MINIMAL offense

Neb has GOOD defense 

The negatives as to why they wont win/cover:

QB Martinez out, freshman QB starting with VERY LITTLE playing time

Week ago, Frost fired 4 of his long time offensive coaches. 

Offensively Neb is mistake proven, although much to do with Martinez 

Neb is BISMAL in special teams.

VERY unlikely any field goals will be attempted. Note above.

VERY doubtful ANY punt returns or kickoff returns will be returned, only fair caught. Note above.

Punt and kickoff return coverage is EXTREMELY week. Note above.

They have NO special teams coach. Note above 

Iowa has a top defense

If I think of any more, I'll post
