Colorado, at 5-6, needs a victory to become bowl-eligible, and Nebraska has a great chance to boost its bowl stock.

A victory will likely send the Huskers to the January 1 Gator Bowl, where a possible opponent is Florida State. Before they can worry about that, Nebraska has to take care of business at home to avoid the upset.

The Huskers have won four of five games and shown improvement on both sides of the football while fighting through various injuries, particularly on defense.

Look for Joe Ganz to have a big day. It is the final home game for the senior who has 3,351 yards of total offense this season. Colorado is 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings in Nebraska. Get all your NCAA football odds in the Bodog Sportsbook today.
