Game day for Nebraska football is more than a week away as quarterback Dylan Raiola, head coach Matt Rhule and the Huskers continue to rest up during their second of two bye weeks.

Nebraska travel to USC (4-5), return home vs. Wisconsin (5-4) and face Iowa (6-3) on the road to wrap the regular season. (Note: All records are current.)

As we await Nebraska’s return to the field, the Inside Nebraska crew* gives its updated final record predictions for the Huskers and its College Football Week 11 picks against the spread!

Important notes:

>>> Our 10 picks in the table above are made “Against the Spread.” For example: If one of our staff members predicts Nebraska to beat Colorado, 35-31, they may still have Colorado listed on the chart because they are predicting a Nebraska win but do not believe the Huskers will cover the spread. For those unfamiliar with how ATS picks work, head to this link for a full rundown!

>>> The spreads are locked in on Thursday every week. Each staff member had the same spread to consider.

>>> Scoring System: 1 point awarded in the season standings for each correct pick, 1 bonus point awarded for correctly picking an upset straight up, 1 bonus point awarded for predicting the exact score + winner of Nebraska’s game. Tiebreaker is the best W-L record. End-of-season tiebreaker is W-L record ATS in Nebraska games.
