Nebraska +6

I don't bet on Husker games, and even if I did, I could never bet against them. But from any kind of objective position, this looks like easy money. It's very hard for me to imagine us keeping it this close.

Either somebody knows something, or somebody didn't see our offense against Baylor.

That's a shocker, but OU hasn't been world beaters either this year.

Not just against Baylor, against Texas Tech, Iowa State, Virginia Tech and three quarters of Mizzou. Not to mention, none of those defenses are close to OU's. I have a hard time believing we can score more than 13 (and that's being optimistic), meaning we'd have to hold them under 19 to cover. I know our D is good, but I just don't see that happening.

Me neither. As hard as I can try, I don't see any way.

Home field, night game-perfect setup for a Neb upset. How? Ummmmmm, maybe they'll go -8 in turnovers.

I'm just sitting back with crappy expectations & hoping that Bo has some surprises up his sleeve.

 
Come on Husker fans we are supposed to be saying WHAT THE HELL WHY AREN'T WE FAVORED! Instead we insist on laying down and accepting defeat before a down is played.

Big distinction between the fans and players my friend.

But either way, don't worry... I'll be binging on Kool-Aid come Saturday morning.

We are convinced the world hates us, why would anyone favor us? Especially against an OU team that beat the living piss out of us last year?

But it is OU week, so...

We are +6 because Bradford isnt playing and we are playing at home.

 
All the sports bookies I've ever heard say to stay away from games like this. They say if the spread seems way to high or way to low that vegas knows something you don't. This could be a good thing

 
See Red River Rivalry.

UT 16 - OU 13....

Texas' defense is no better than ours. OU scored 13. Meaning if we get a defensive touchdown, it'd be a push in that incident. It's not out of the realm of possibility. Everyone thought that the Tech game was easy money at the opening line....Hence how much it moved in our favor.. expect this one to move much in OU's way also...
