Nebraska vs. Creighton CBB Prediction:

This is an intra-state rivalry game. These two schools are less than an hour apart, with Nebraska’s campus being located in Lincoln, and Creighton’s sitting in Omaha. In this Cornhusker state showdown, Creighton is favored by 11 points. In the last 10 meetings between these two teams, Creighton has beaten Nebraska by more than 11 points 4 times. 

The Bluejays are 8-2 straight up and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games against the Cornhuskers. But Creighton lost their top two scorers from last season (Baylor Scheierman and Trey Alexander). This game is anything but a sure thing as evidenced by the 2022 result when these two teams faced off. In that contest, Nebraska was a 14.5 underdog on the road in Omaha. The Cornhuskers won that game outright 63-53. I’m not sure if Nebraska will win this game outright, but to cover the number, they won’t have to. I’m taking the Cornhuskers and the points on the road on Friday night.
