The current betting odds have Creighton listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Creighton is entering this game as a ranked team and they have looked good in their games this season with their 6-1 record overall. They have already played in a road game which they won as they are 1-0 in road games this season. Creighton's 1 loss was against Colorado State and they responded in their last game with a 14 point win on the road against Oklahoma State. Meanwhile, Nebraska is not ranked but they have also looked really good in their games this season with their 7-0 record overall and their 6-0 home record. Nebraska is going to bring their best effort for a ranked Creighton team but Creighton will also bring their best effort in this game, especially since Nebraska is still undefeated and they have a chance to hand them their 1st loss. Nebraska doesn't have the talent that Creighton has either and Creighton already had their scare last week in their loss to Colorado State so they will be looking to avoid another. The best way to place a bet here is on Creighton to cover the spread in this game.

“If they’re going to latch onto Trey and Baylor and make their life tough, there’s space for somebody. And Steven’s a good player, we’ve just been waiting for his time. He got us off to a great start, because we didn’t stop Oklahoma State all that great in the early going, and Steven’s ability to score the basketball kept us in the game early until we got going.” - Greg McDermott after his team’s win against OK State in their last game on Thursday.

“Now it’s about getting back to what we were doing earlier – especially on the defensive end. I just feel like we’ve lost our edge a little bit on that side of the floor.” - Fred Hoiberg after his team’s win against Cal State Fullerton in their last game.
