It'sNotAFakeID Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Well...we are the home team. Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 We don't have a home-field advantage. This will be close to EVEN by Friday. Quote Link to comment
TJ Alum Husker Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Really, I thought it was going to be more like 4.5-5.5 in the other direction... Sports betting might not be a good idea for you then................ enlighten us...I would have thought the same thing about the spread...If you watched Sparty and us, there is no way we should have opened at a 5 pt favorite Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Really, I thought it was going to be more like 4.5-5.5 in the other direction... Sports betting might not be a good idea for you then................ Actually, sports betting may be perfect for them. If a person really thinks NU should be 4-5 point dogs then this would be the ideal game to bet on MSU. You would be getting an extra 8+/- pt cushion. I haven't bet all year but MSU +4.5 sounds too good to be true. Based on having watched both teams I see nothing that leads me to believe the Huskers will play a complete 4 quarter game or that our D will miraculously "come around" this week. Hey if a guy has to be disappointed in how the game goes, making a little extra cash in the process can't hurt. And if you lose the bet, so what, your Huskers just won a big game.

I am just saying as an original thought if that was the spread he thought, it was way off. The idealist ways of someones system are probably way different then mine, some people bet many games a week with parlays, and O/Us and first/second half score ect. Others will bet 4 games and then bet 24 parleys between those four games two just like a four horse trifecta box. I am not one to judge a persons handicapping because I have been wrong before, just saying a normal betting person who watches lines and such, would know Nebraska was going to favored by about 4 points. Remember the lines do not care about score, the objective is to receive even money on each side of the bet. Personally I do not bet college games only keep track of the ones I would, I have seen to many people and friends and still do get caught up in sports betting, peoples gut feeling can lose many dollars. I had this discussion on Sat night with a pal that likes to do this stuff and we both came to the conclusion of about a 4 point favorite, you must put the Wisconsin game aside when thinking about spreads.

The key phrase here is "too good to be true"....Vegas knows it will be extremely difficult for MSU to get up for a game with the Huskers and they set the line accordingly...I think they come into Lincoln flat after 2 huge weekends with Michigan and Wisconsin.

The Maudfather Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'm truly shocked that the line opened at 4.5 in our favor. I expected it to be 4.5 in MSU's favor. Quote Link to comment
chamrocck Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Yep, count me as shocked at this line...I thought Sparty would open up as 8-9 point favorite. Will be interesting to see who picks us to win...I will be surprised if more than 40% of the press/talking heads pick us to win. Heck, I don't even expect us to win this one. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 This game has me scared to death, in the past this is a game that State walks into and lays a complete egg. It will be fun to see if my Spartans are different then year's past and compete with the Huskers. I remember in week 3 when state was a 6.5 point dog against Notre Dame and I though this was crazy, so I don't think the line is too far off from what it should be. Notre Dame is also crazy hyped and overrated almost every year. No kidding, haven't won a decent bowl since 94...what a joke. Exactly. I have nothing against Notre Dame. They are one of the storied programs in the nation and a traditional powerhouse, despite shortcomings for the last two decades. They also have a massive fan base. But it gets out of hand every single year. I'm honestly beginning to wonder if Lou Holtz is hypnotizing everybody that puts ND in the Top 20 every year despite them continuing to fail every - single - year. Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I would have MSU as a 2.5 favorite... Quote Link to comment
GI56 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Looks like the line opened at Nebraska -4. Seems a little too far on our side- even with home field advantage this game feels at least like a pick 'em. Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Man oh man I am not that confident... I think the Spartans should be favored by a touchdown for sure. Quote Link to comment
huskered17 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Would think Mich St would be a 6 -9 pt fav. Line will be closer, by Sat. GBR!!! Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt96 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 You get 3 point for being the home team. The spead this morning is 4 1/2. I would say that is pretty close. The line will change as people bet. Quote Link to comment
