Im seeing 73 most places. If we're really going to allow overs in this deal, I may change that CU pick to NU/Ore over also. In fact I am changing it. Houston -8 NU/Ore over 73 Ohio State -1.5

Week 3 locks Houston -8 NU/Ore over 73 Ohio State -1.5

How about a 3 game doyle...all in one game. Nebraska +3 Oregon +9 Neb/Ore over 67 That's not my picks but, if I was a gambling man...

I agree. It's a pretty high o/u as lines go but it sure does look to be warranted. Should be a fun game to watch if you like lots of scoring. I really think we'll get our share of the points but the question is how much will our D be able to slow down Oregon.

I don't think Minnesota plays this week? Or is that your secret loophole to not lose?

Week 3- Penn State

So #33 Nebraska is favored by 3 points over #22 Oregon? Seems like something is wrong with this—either the ratings or the Vegas line. : Vegas doesn't care about rankings and are usually more accurate than the rankings. Also have to remember @ Nebraska gives us 3 points for being at home.....so they feel at the moment it is a toss up game Yes, the Vegas spread is usually closer than any ranking for how a game might go. Also, technically speaking, a higher ranked team should not always be expected to beat a lower ranked team. Strength of schedule, previous opponents and prior ranking all play into rankings. The Vegas line does a much better job as to how two teams really match up. The rankings usually catch up by the end of the season- another reason rankings in the first half of the season are basically useless.

2-1 this week, 5-1 overall. +$390

If you want to feel better about Wendy's or Burger King or McDonald's, they have some of the highest standards in the industry for their ground beef requirements. What's in the meat is NOT what you have to worry about. Think 16 year old kids and disgruntled mid managers cutting corners with basic food safety protocols...

Looks like Nebraska opened as 1 point favorites and moved to 2.5 or 3 points currently. Could not find an O/U line yet. I also think there will be a ton of points scored but I'm sure Vegas will set the o/u line very high accordingly. My guess would be mid to upper 70's.

Absolutely no way this is true. Acquiring and using horse or rat meat in the US on this scale would be cost prohibitive and logistically impossible. And if it did happen it would be plastered all over the major news networks not hidden in some obscure corner of the internet.

Good article zoogs. Thanks for posting it. Something that I really hadn't thought about but does seem to be taking place is the transition of war from this finite thing that has an end into something like law enforcement where we expect perpetrators be brought to justice but we really don't expect an end to crime. I think that is the road we find ourselves on in the battle against terrorism and there sure doesn't appear any way out of that situation.

Last 15 years....Always Sunny in Philly and Big Bang Theory.

I think it is due to the fact Tommy is a Senior, a 3rd year starting QB and that one mistake in the redzone was flashbacks to what has always seemed to be a problem with him and his decision making. I think most of us would hope after 3 years of being a starting QB at the D-1 level at Nebraska those type of mental mistakes would be gone by now. It just makes it hard to trust him in big time situations.He is what he is. Yes, he needs to cut down those mistakes, but it was only 1 huge mistake. He more than made up for it with his play the rest of the game. Against Oregon one huge mistake can and will cost you the game. If you get into the redzone vs Oregon you need to score a TD. FGs and turnovers does not beat the Ducks. And my God almighty, Riley should know this since he faced Oregon and saw that machine from 45 miles away for years. Just hope the players realize it and can comprehend it.I realize that one mistake can cost the Oregon game, but why is the focus just on Tommy's mistakes. What about all the penalties from the entire team? What about giving the freshman punter a green light to run a fake punt? Around college football, when teams are sloppy and undisciplined, a lot of the blame goes to the coaches. Here it seems like it's given to one particular player.Quarterbacks always get an inordinate amount of the blame or glory. This is nothing new. But yes, we have lots of problems more pressing than Tommy's play today. However, against a better opponent, 1 or 2 brain farts by TA likely will be a deciding factor. We all just wish he had better field vision and made better decisions, especially if this staff is going to have him winging it around 35+ a game. The margin for error gets greatly reduced next week.

I learned (already knew actually but needed to experience it again) that it's better to be on the receiving end of turnovers.

I'm convinced the only reason for the OP was to provide endless opportunities for the OOC thread.

Who is Oregon's quarterback? I want to do some name dropping before he is a Heisman front runner next week.

I don't know about the rest of you but after last night's forum I feel even worse about either one of these yahoos ending up as Commander in Chief. We r f'd.

...the deadliest thing known to man.

It must really work. I installed the Twilight app on my phone last night, played with it for about 20 minutes right before bed and slept like a baby. In fact I had trouble waking up all day. Of course I attribute this to 20 minutes less of blue light last night and not at all to being dog tired when I got home from work.
