College football odds Week 5: How to bet Indiana-Nebraska

Indiana will take its juggernaut passing offense on a trip to the plains to face one-win Nebraska on Saturday evening, kicking off Big Ten play for the Cornhuskers. 

The Hoosiers are 3-1 coming off their first loss to Cincinnati, 45-24 last weekend. Despite passing for 280 yards and two touchdowns, quarterback Conner Bazelak threw two interceptions, and Indiana’s defense couldn’t stop the Bearcats. 

The Cornhuskers should be fresh as they are coming off a bye week following a 49-14 loss to Oklahoma two weekends ago. Though they’ve had a rough 1-3 start to the season, and they lost their head coach Scott Frost, Nebraska looks to revitalize their season. Nebraska is being led by interim head coach Mickey Joesph against the Hoosiers.
