Where Can I Bet the Buckeyes-Huskers Game From Nebraska?
If you happen to live in Omaha and the surrounding area, there is great news. You will be able to cross the bridge in a matter of 10 to 20 minutes and visit the Ameristar Casino in Council Bluffs. It is here where you can place a bet on Saturday's Week 5 game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Nebraska Cornhuskers. The Buckeyes opened as a -15.5 favorite in this one. There are also a few dozen books licensed overseas that will take your bet online while in Nebraska. Some of these sportsbooks only require a valid email to open a real money betting account (note: name, address and text number gets you the more lucrative cash signup bonuses).

Ameristar is one of a number of casinos in Iowa that scrambled to open a sportsbook since the state legalized sports gambling this year. Outside of the Cyclones-Hawkeyes game, this will likely be one of the most wagered on in Iowa as significant numbers of gamblers are expected to cross over from Nebraska to place bets.
The sixth-ranked Buckeyes (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) trounced Miami (Ohio) 76-5 on Saturday and now prepare for a rugged stretch of Big Ten games beginning with a visit to Nebraska and then a home game against Michigan State.
The Cornhuskers (3-1, 1-0) put up 690 yards of total offense compared to 299 by Illinois (2-2, 0-1) in a 42-38 win over that team.
Wan'Dale Robinson carried the ball 19 times for 89 yards and a touchdown. Dedrick Mills rushed 12 times for 62 yards and a touchdown.
This was an entertaining game that either team could have won. But Nebraska was able to overcome numerous mistakes to take control in the fourth quarter.
