2025 Nebraska Cornhuskers CFB Betting Lines
The Nebraska Cornhuskers enter the 2025 season with momentum and optimism. Matt Rhule did not produce a bowl game for the Nebraska Cornhuskers in his first season as head coach. In 2023, the Big Red needed only one win in its final four games to reach the postseason. Yet it failed. But Rhule has wasted no time changing the narrative in 2024, producing the first bowl game since 2016. Nebraska has had two of the most productive offseasons in college football. Of course, the headliner was flipping 5-star QB recruit Dylan Raiola from the Georgia Bulldogs to Nebraska in 2024. Georgia is the best program in the sport. Thus, Nebraska earned serious bragging rights. Expectations have increased for Rhule’s program, and there is legitimate reason for optimism in 2025. The Big Red is Rising.

2025 Nebraska Cornhuskers Preview
In previous stops at Temple and Baylor, coach Matt Rhule’s teams had breakout seasons in his third year. The best news is that he is on a faster pace at Nebraska. The schedule seems favorable for momentum and bowl eligibility, if not a shot at the College Football Playoff. Nebraska’s last bowl trip was in 2016 until that misery ended in 2024.
Nebraska could be this year’s Indiana, and that’s a good thing. We all have to do a bit of rolling back here. The talent level has definitely been ramped up significantly, but many of the best players are still very young and unproven. This is still the Nebraska, though, that came WAY too close to a total collapse over the second half of the season. It still has to prove it can land the close game plane on a regular basis without crashing into the terminal, and it’s still nowhere near the level of the star programs in the Big Ten.
But there’s no Ohio State or Oregon to deal with. There’s no Indiana, or, this year, this really matters, Illinois, either. Michigan, Iowa, and USC are home games, and there’s a week off before going to Penn State.
So the projected win total being set here comes with a caveat. The schedule is good enough for Nebraska to catch fire and win ten regular season games. There’s a real, honest no-smoke-blowing chance the Huskers can get to the College Football Playoff as an at-large team. And there’s also a chance the Nebraska still hasn’t quite fixed the program-crippling glitch and loses to USC, Iowa, Michigan State, Minnesota, and UCLA in painfully close thrillers.

Once, it seemed as though the Nebraska football program had always been good, and it’s because they had been. They won 10 or more games 26 times, had five unbeaten seasons, and claimed five national championships. They played in 51 bowl games in those 55 years and were also ranked in the top 25 of every AP poll from 1970 to 2001.
The success didn’t start in 1961; it happened long before that. The Huskers enjoyed 17 straight winning campaigns at the beginning of the 20th century. Nebraska appeared in its first bowl game with a Rose Bowl loss following the 1940 season and wouldn’t get its first win until 1960. Bob Devaney led the Huskers to back-to-back national championships in 1970 and 1971 by going a combined 24-0-1.
Tom Osborne took over in 1972 and led the program to unprecedented success. The Huskers won at least nine games every season, were ranked in the AP poll every week, and appeared in a bowl at the conclusion of each season. Osborne retired following a perfect 13-0 record and the program’s fifth national championship in 1997. Nebraska ended its affiliation with the Big 12 Conference to join the Big Ten in 2011. The success hasn’t come as easily in the past decade or so, but Nebraska is hoping to take the next step forward in 2024.
After favorite son Scott Frost failed miserably as head coach from 2018-2022, Matt Rhule was hired. Rhule rebuilt programs at Temple and Baylor and has Nebraska on the right track. Ironically, Nebraska’s renaissance will be led by a native New Yorker who has become the ultimate Nebraska citizen.
