A Big XII North title will be on the line Saturday, when the Kansas State Wildcats visit the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

For Nebraska, it has been a revival of sorts under second year head coach Bo Pelini. And it’s started with their defense.

Cornhuskers -16 at Kansas State, good game to start betting now.

On the year, Nebraska has simply been one of college football’s strongest units. They are ranked third in the game, allowing just 11 points per contest, and are in the top 12 nationally in rushing yards and total yards. A large part of the credit needs to be given to the big man in the middle, Ndamukong Suh, a senior. Suh will almost certainly be All-Big XII this season at the defensive tackle position, as well as a high first round pick in next year’s NFL Draft.

Offensively the Cornhuskers aren’t nearly as settled, as they’ve shuttled in both Cody Green and Zac Lee at quarterback. It appears as though Lee is finally in for good, as he played all of last week against Kansas, throwing for 186 yards. However, the reason for Nebraska’s success as of late has come from the reemergence of healthy running back Roy Helu Jr. Helu, has rushed for 962 yards on the season, however it’s important to note that 296 of them (almost a third) have come in the last two games.

As for Kansas State, they are experiencing a mini-revival of their own, thanks to the return of Coach Bill Snyder. The Wildcats numbers don’t jump out at you, but their record certainly does. At 6-5 they will likely be going to be a bowl game this holiday season.

On offense the Wildcats don’t do anything to amaze, they’re just simply steady. Their best player is likely Brandon Banks. Banks is a receiver who’s caught 51 passes for 657 yards this season. He is also a dangerous return man. On defense, the Wildcats have been up and down to say the least. In their last two losses, they’ve given up a combined 80 points. However in their win just a few weeks ago over Kansas, they allowed just 10.

So with a Big XII North title on the line, who do you like? At home, the edge certainly goes to Nebraska, but will it be enough to cover? 16 ½ points is a lot to be giving, especially to a team that scores an average of 23 per game on the season.

Truthfully, Nebraska will likely win this one going away. But I think that Kansas State covers the BetUS.com college football betting odds this week.
