Deacon Hill QB vs. Heinrich Haarberg QB
Deacon Hill of the Iowa Hawkeyes has experienced a season marked by both resilience and growing pains. Although his numbers don’t fully capture his impact on the field, their numbers don’t do justice to how Hill manages Iowa’s offense or how resilient and determined he has been when faced with challenges such as 15 total sacks and 5 interceptions; his resilience was truly admirable as was his game intelligence – his capacity to read defenses quickly while making quick decisions under pressure.
Heinrich Haarberg of the Nebraska Cornhuskers offers something different. With 967 passing yards and a 49% completion rate, Haarberg’s statistics closely mirror Hill’s but his style of play stands out as unique. Haarberg stands out for his impressive long passing ability, evidenced by his impressive 73-yard longest pass this season. His arm strength and accuracy when throwing deep balls create opportunities to break open defenses for big plays. Haarberg adds another dynamic to Nebraska’s offense with his mobility, enabling him to evade pressure and extend plays outside the pocket. Unfortunately, however, Haarberg has faced some challenges – most notably 20 total sacks and 7 interceptions which indicate areas for improvement when it comes to decision-making and ball security.
NCAAF Odds/Point Spread: Nebraska Cornhuskers -136, Total Odds: 26

Iowa Hawkeyes Betting Trends
Iowa has demonstrated strong defensive trends in their betting trends, with six consecutive total games under total being UNDER the total scoreline. Their 6-1 SU record over their past seven matches indicates their winning momentum; however, Nebraska remains their 1-4 ATS matchup and Iowa’s defense on the road becomes even stronger; bettors should keep this in mind when betting.
Nebraska Cornhuskers Betting Trends
Nebraska’s trends show a fluctuation between subpar home performances (1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games) and strong records against divisional opponents (6-1-1 ATS against West Division teams). Their total has gone OVER in six of seven meetings against Iowa, suggesting potential high-scoring encounters against this rivalry.
Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers 11/24/23 Betting Picks
As we near this epic matchup, the Iowa Hawkeyes appear to have the slight edge due to their superior record and defense. But Nebraska’s desire for parity between divisional rivals makes for an exciting and potentially close contest.
Betting-wise, Iowa has an impressive defensive record that makes an Under bet a more reliable pick than its opposite – Nebraska can score against Iowa on past meetings so an OVER bet may also be viable. Iowa is more difficult to cover against Nebraska historically which makes them riskier pick despite having the higher overall record.
For the Best premium Selections, considering the home advantage and Nebraska’s tendency to rise against familiar foes, they might be the better pick against the spread. Prop bets could focus on individual performances, especially on running backs and key receivers who might play pivotal roles in this closely contested game.
