ChatGPT prediction for Nebraska Cornhuskers vs Iowa Hawkeyes, 28 November 2025.
Iowa’s defense travels: just 101.6 rushing yards allowed per game, 3.2 yards per carry, and an 11th-ranked pass defense. That’s a rough draw for Nebraska, now turning to backup QB Lateef Johnson. With the Huskers’ pass rush sitting 95th nationally (1.73 sacks), Iowa’s offense should stay on schedule and avoid game-flipping mistakes.
Momentum tilts Hawkeyes after a 20-17 late comeback over Michigan State, while Nebraska’s 37-10 loss at Penn State exposed issues Iowa can exploit. Iowa has also taken the last two in this series, including a late 13-10 win.
Bet: Iowa moneyline 1.42. The price reflects a rightful favorite and aligns with our win projection; Nebraska’s 2.97 isn’t enough value given the QB uncertainty and matchup edges. Expect a low-scoring grind that favors Iowa late.

Gemini prediction for Nebraska Cornhuskers vs Iowa Hawkeyes, 28 November 2025.
This Big Ten rivalry matchup presents a classic case of strength versus weakness, heavily favoring the visiting Iowa Hawkeyes. Iowa brings one of the nation's most formidable defenses to Lincoln, a unit that ranks 11th in pass defense and allows a stingy 3.2 yards per carry. This spells trouble for a Nebraska team forced to start a backup quarterback, Lateef Johnson, following an injury to their starter.
The recent form of both teams tells a starkly different story. The Hawkeyes are riding the high of a dramatic comeback victory over Michigan State, showcasing their resilience. In contrast, the Cornhuskers are reeling from a 37-10 drubbing by Penn State, a game that exposed vulnerabilities Iowa's defense is perfectly equipped to exploit.
With Iowa having won the last two meetings and their defense consistently shutting down opponents, all signs point to another Hawkeyes victory. While the odds of 1.42 on an Iowa win don't offer a massive payout, they accurately reflect the lopsided nature of this matchup. Expect a low-scoring, defensive battle where Iowa's superiority ultimately wins the day.

Claude prediction for Nebraska Cornhuskers vs Iowa Hawkeyes, 28 November 2025.
Iowa's defensive dominance makes them a compelling bet despite the 1.42 odds. The Hawkeyes allow just 101.6 rushing yards per game and have held four opponents to seven points or fewer this season, creating a nightmare matchup for Nebraska's backup quarterback Lateef Johnson.
Nebraska's quarterback uncertainty is the decisive factor here. Without their starter, the Cornhuskers must rely on Johnson against Iowa's 11th-ranked pass defense while their own pass rush ranks a dismal 95th nationally at 1.73 sacks per game.
Iowa's recent momentum from their dramatic comeback win over Michigan State, combined with winning the last two meetings in this series, suggests they're built for these pressure moments. The over-under at 39 points screams defensive battle, which heavily favors Iowa's suffocating unit that has never allowed more than 28 points this season.

Grok prediction for Nebraska Cornhuskers vs Iowa Hawkeyes, 28 November 2025.
As the Nebraska Cornhuskers host the Iowa Hawkeyes in this Big Ten showdown, all signs point to Iowa's defensive edge sealing the deal. The Hawkeyes' suffocating defense, limiting foes to just 101.6 rushing yards per game, is primed to exploit Nebraska's weak pass rush, ranked 95th nationally with only 1.73 sacks per game. This mismatch could give Iowa's offense the breathing room it needs to control the pace.
Adding to Nebraska's woes is their quarterback uncertainty—starting without their primary signal-caller, turning to backup Lateef Johnson against Iowa's elite secondary, ranked 11th in pass defense. Iowa's recent form bolsters this outlook, coming off a thrilling 20-17 comeback win over Michigan State, showcasing their clutch performance.
Historically, Iowa has dominated the last two meetings, including a gritty 13-10 victory last November. With odds favoring Iowa at 1.42 and Nebraska as underdogs at 2.97, expect a low-scoring battle under the 39-point total, where Iowa's defense holds firm for the win.

Qwen prediction for Nebraska Cornhuskers vs Iowa Hawkeyes, 28 November 2025.
Iowa’s defensive dominance is the defining factor in this matchup, and it sets a grim tone for Nebraska. The Hawkeyes have limited opponents to just 101.6 rushing yards per game while boasting the nation's 11th-ranked pass defense. This spells trouble for Nebraska, especially with their quarterback uncertainty. Backup Lateef Johnson will face immense pressure against an Iowa secondary that thrives on capitalizing against weaker offenses. The Cornhuskers' offensive line, which ranks 95th nationally in sacks allowed, will struggle to protect their inexperienced signal-caller.
Adding to Nebraska’s woes, Iowa rides high after a thrilling comeback victory over Michigan State, showcasing their resilience. Meanwhile, Nebraska is reeling from a 37-10 loss to Penn State, where their vulnerabilities were laid bare. Historically, Iowa has had Nebraska’s number, winning the last two meetings, including a nail-biter last November. With a 6-point spread favoring Iowa and their 1.42 odds reflecting a strong implied probability of victory, the Hawkeyes are well-positioned to extend their dominance.
The over-under of 39 points suggests a defensive slugfest, playing perfectly into Iowa’s hands. Given Nebraska’s struggles on both sides of the ball, betting on Iowa at 1.42 offers a safer path to profitability despite the steep price.
