(Poll) The Spread is Out

[The Maudfather]

The spread came out yesterday and has us favored by 28. If you were a bettin', degenerate gamblin' man, who ya got?

 

I'm taking Fresno St to beat the spread. I think they'll stack the box and force Tmart to beat them with his arm. I could see us easily having a repeat of SDSU last year.

i don't think we'll see a repeat of SDSU anytime soon (hopefully ever) i think we will take care of business, but 28 is a lot of points, always. nonetheless, if i was a betting man, i would throw a few schuckles NU's way.

[hskerholic]

I will take Nebraska and give the points

[bshirt]

I don't see last year's SDSU at all.

 

But 28 is a lot of pts.....not sure if I take that as the Bulldogs frequently gear up for road games.

There is absolutely no chance they have an SDSU one week after admitting they played poorly. If anything, last week was this year's SDSU. I'll take Nebraska.

 

If NU looks unimpressive this week, it's not because it was an "SDSU game", it's because they have major flaws and are not going to be contenders. I'll remain positive for now and say it won't happen, NU by at least 35.

i'm not disagreeing with you, but last year's sdsu game was because we had major flaws are were not contenders. but i don't see it either. hopefully we are past the problems of consistency and ready to perfect schemes and execution.

I think Nebraska will win but more like by 14 or 17 points... 28 is a lot.

[sd'sker]

i think the defense will get the shutout and score a td or two. take that to the bank.

[krc1995]

over. It's seems like too many points, so there is cosmic reason.

14 points is too little. This week Beck won't call plays in order to perfect them. He'll mix up the play calling and get this offense rolling. I say Nebraska surprises a lot of people this week, and shows those that are scared of this game that Fresno is not a good team. Nebraska wins 59-3.

I would love to see this happen. If we pitch a shutout and score on D, we better win by at least 40 IMO.

Spread seems fine, but I usually don't bet on games til conference plays when the spreads are a little more down to earth. That being said I think Beck opening up the playbook a little more and a dominant performance by the d, we should cover this no problem.

[bsbch]

Usually is a pretty good jump from weeks 1 to 2. We have something to prove. I'll say we cover.

[307husker]

I'll give the points and take NU. After such a flat start to the year, the team and the coaches will want to gain a little confidence. I think that the flat start was the best possible outcome for such a meaningless game. As long as there are no serious injuries, I'd like to treat these first 4 games (sorry UW, you too) as warm-ups for the gauntlet that awaits us in the B1G.

Completely agree with this. For as negative as I have been after last week (and believe me, I've been very negative), I still think this team could be pretty good. If there is anything to this new system of Beck's, I think they'll score a lot this Saturday. With all the talk of players and coaches being disappointed this week, they're gonna want to prove what they can do. I don't think we'll see much of the playbook yet - maybe a little more play action and one or two small wrinkles - but they'll unveil enough to make a statement.

 

I say if they win by only 14 or 17 there is major reason for concern.
