What to bet Thursday

Nebraska fans have big expectations for quarterback Dylan Raiola and he'll get his first test right away when the Cornhuskers face the Cincinnati Bearcats at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. Raiola has drawn comparisons to Patrick Mahomes, and this season will be crucial for the sophomore quarterback to show he's the man to lead Nebraska back to national prominence. The Bearcats have their own star quarterback in Brendan Sorsby, who will look to build on a solid 2024 campaign. Sorsby rushed for two scores in Cincinnati's win over eventual Big 12 champions Arizona State but the Bearcats would go on to lose their last five games. They're hoping for a fast start against a big-time program in 2025. Cincinnati is a +197 underdog (wager $100 to win $197), but the Bearcats win in 37% of model simulations to bring value at these odds. Sign up for Caesars to bet Nebraska-Cincinnati here:
