Wisconsin vs. Nebraska CBB Prediction:
Wisconsin looks for their fourth straight victory, while Nebraska looks to get back into the win column.
Take Nebraska. The Cornhuskers are excellent at home, holding a 13-1 home record. I fully expect them to bounce back from their poor performance last Saturday. Wisconsin has a big game with Purdue on Saturday, this feels like a spot they overlook the Cornhuskers. Nebraska grabs a much-needed ranked home victory on Thursday night.
