College football can be quite full of twists and turns. From injuries to coaching firings to heartbreaking losses, Penn State has lived all of it this year.

Despite all of that, the Penn State Nittany Lions (4-6, 1-6) still have a puncher's chance at a bowl berth, which would be a silver lining on this season. Standing in their way is a home date against the Nebraska Cornhuskers (7-3, 4-3 Big Ten) from Beaver Stadium in University Park, Pennsylvania.

  • Over-Under: Over 44.5 (-102), Under 44.5 (-118)

Nebraska vs. Penn State prediction, pick:

It took a six-game losing streak, but Penn State is back in the win column, and the Nittany Lions have a little bit of confidence. At 4-6, they are a better team than that record with the talent on the roster. They also have five one-score losses.

Nebraska enters off a bye with TJ Lateef commanding the offense. The game plan with him in command of the offense was rather simple. The Cornhuskers ran it 39 times to just 15 passes. They want to run the ball and avoid throwing it.

While the Nittany Lions aren't overpowering on offense, the defense is still oozing with talent and can hang against Nebraska. Penn State, which was dead in the water, claws back to 5-6, and sets itself up with a season finale against Rutgers to go to a bowl game and salvage a silver lining on the season.

Prediction: Penn State 23, Nebraska 16

Best Bet: Under 44.5
