Hank Bachmeier QB vs. Jeff Sims QB
Louisiana Tech’s Hank Bachmeier has been a crucial asset, completing 70 out of 106 attempts for 756 passing yards. He has a completion percentage of 66 and has thrown 5 touchdowns against 2 interceptions. However, he’s been sacked 11 times this season, losing 55 yards. Bachmeier’s strengths include solid decision-making skills and his ability to spread the ball across the field. But to sway this game in his favor, he will need to handle the Cornhuskers’ defensive pressure effectively to avoid sacks and maintain his composure in the pocket.
Jeff Sims, Nebraska’s quarterback, has had a less than stellar season compared to his counterpart, with only 20 completions out of 34 attempts and a total of 220 passing yards. His completion percentage is 58.8, but his touchdown-to-interception ratio is underwhelming at 1:4. Furthermore, he has been sacked five times, losing 40 yards in the process. Sims will have to improve his decision-making and accuracy to avoid turnovers and give Nebraska a fighting chance.
NCAAF Odds/Point Spread: Nebraska Cornhuskers -1200, Total Odds: 47
Nebraska is the clear favorite in this game with a Moneyline of -1200 and a spread of -20.5. The total over/under is set at 47. Given Nebraska’s less than impressive 1-2 start to the season, the spread seems to favor them heavily, perhaps too heavily. Cornhuskers at +750 could provide value, especially if their offense clicks as it has shown it can.
Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Betting Trends
Louisiana Tech has had difficulty covering the spread lately, going 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games. They’ve also struggled on the road, going 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games.

Nebraska Cornhuskers Betting Trends
Nebraska has fared somewhat better against the spread, going 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. However, they have a poor record in September, with a 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games in this month.

Louisiana Tech Bulldogs vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers 9/23/23 Betting Picks
This game promises to be an intriguing affair, with both teams eager to notch a win. While Nebraska is the clear favorite, their record and performance metrics suggest that the -20.5 spread might be overestimating them. Louisiana Tech’s offense, particularly through the air, could give them the opportunity to beat the spread or even pull off an upset.
In terms of prop bets and over/under considerations, the diverging trends of the two teams make for an interesting scenario. Given Louisiana Tech’s proclivity for high-scoring games and Nebraska’s tendency for the UNDER, betting the over could be the smart move, especially if the Bulldogs’ offense gets hot.
