Nebraska vs Bowling Green Prediction: Can the Huskers Dominate?
It was a struggle for Nebraska last week, but all turned out fine. This week, it has to prove it can own a full 60. Here's the CFN preview and prediction.
Nebraska and Bowling Green are set to face off in a game on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at 7:00 PM ET at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska. The MAC season doesn't start until early October at Miami University, so this is an early non-conference matchup. The Huskers have faced several MAC teams lately, winning them all by 24 points or more. This is Nebraska's fifth straight win against MAC teams since 2017.
Bowling Green, on the other hand, lost to Tarleton State from the FCS 20-13, which is a significant drop from their previous performance. They have not played Nebraska before. The Hawks have struggled this season, with their offensive line failing to generate any sort of push and their attack not being able to move forward. Meanwhile, Nebraska's offense, under quarterback Anthony Colandrea, has been explosive.
Nebraska will face North Dakota next in their non-conference schedule before starting their Big Ten season at Michigan State. Bowling Green, meanwhile, will play Iowa State away next week, before facing the MAC season.
The betting lines currently favor Nebraska -30.5, with an over/under of 50.5 points. The consensus line is based on odds from BetMGM, Caesars, DraftKings, and FanDuel. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, the number for help is 1-800-GAMBLER.
