Easy money. Who cares about the points, take MSU money line and thank Vegas for the payday.
Point Spread NU -4

That is true...
but they might under-estimate NU --- thinking the Huskers are well below the caliber of who they have recently played and they might relax thinking that NU is a gimme and relax too much. That is, they may take us too lightly and maybe we surprise them -- (at least at the beginning of the game).
That the spread is against them will mitigate against this and play well for MSu and against NU.

Well.... If NU doesn't turn the ball over, they can beat any team in the Big 10...... even with a crappy defense. You don't have to be a sunshine pumping Husker homer to make that claim.
Now, I can understand everyone's lack of confidence because Martinez has a propensity to turnover the football in big games. But, NU can and will move the football against any team not named LSU or Alabama this season.
Therefore, things shouldn't be all gloom and doom in Husker land. If Nebraska doesn't give Michigan State extra possessions off of turnovers or special teams mistakes, Nebraska will beat them and put up more yards/points than any previous Spartan opponent.

Yeah, how could NU be favored? I mean, MSU never craps it down their own leg! hahaha

Don't bet the farm for us to cover. It'll be a 1-3 point win if we do win. 17-14 is my prediction.

i have a good feeling about this game...... dont know why but im not as freaked out as withe Wisconsin game..
i think the guys will be pumped and have sort of a redemtion factor after the Wisconsin game... i think the coaches will prep them and inform them of the chance to really take control of their season.... i think motivation will be a huge factor

Well, if there are any Husker players reading this, know that there are still a lot of us that have faith. Make us proud and roll 'em!

Folks keep mentioning the Notre Dame game.
In that game, ND stopped MSU from running and Cousins couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. End of story - there was no sugar coating it.
However, that isn't how he normally plays; he doesn't always hit the long ball but he is solid on the short-mid game. He's almost up to his normal standards which are pretty good. ND was an anomaly, I wouldn't plan on winning using their formula.

I know Cousins is an NFL caliber QB, but I'm not sure how much of a runner he is because to be honest, the only time our D has struggled under Pelini is against running QB's especially those who can pull it down and take off on 3rd down. That's why we struggled so much against Wisc and why Michigan actually worries me much more than Mich St does.
