Andy Kendeigh, Sean Callahan Discuss Keys, Matchups to Watch for Nebraska-Cincinnati

The neutral-site opener features Nebraska building on a 7-6 bowl-winning season and Cincinnati aiming to rebound from a 5-7 record, with Huskers favored by 6.5 points.

  • Nebraska Cornhuskers and Cincinnati Bearcats meet Friday in the neutral-site Week 1 opener at Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri.
  • After a 7-6 campaign under Matt Rhule, Nebraska enters Year 3 with expectations for an improved offense featuring quarterback Dylan Raiola and Dana Holgorsen's scheme, while Nebraska fans create a home-like environment early.
  • The Huskers' offensive line remains a focus with a rotating tackle group as Nebraska handed out its first Blackshirts this past week, with Justin Evans, Rocco Spindler, and Henry Lutovsky set as interior starters.
  • Betting markets favor Nebraska by 6.5 points and set the total at 53.5, moneyline odds price Nebraska at-250 and Cincinnati at +200, with model projections giving Nebraska a 66.2% win probability.
  • The result will shape early-season expectations as Cincinnati needs a statement after its 5-7 2024 record and missed bowl, while a Nebraska opener loss could undercut momentum in Year 3 under Matt Rhule.
