Alamo Bowl predictions

[HucktheFuskers]

I'm reading a lot of posts that say Nebraska is going to do well against Michigan. Some of the posts guarantee victory, other posts sound confident, but fall just short of saying Nebraska will win.

 

So, what are your predictions?

 

How many points you giving?

 

 

 

 

Please note: I'm not talking trash, I'm not saying a bad word. I just want your cut and dry prediction and point spread on this year's Nebraska/Michigan bowl game.

I'd put Nebraska at about 7 point underdog. I haven't seen anything out of vegas, but I'm guessing it'll be around 13 there. Michigan has played a lot more talent than NU this year, has lost to better teams than NU, and the margin of loss has gotta factor into it. However, NU will travel well, and provide a psuedo-"homefield advantage".

 

This will be Callahan's first test in a post-season game. We'll see how well our staff can gameplan, and prepare for this game. It's a big ? in my book.

 

But, lets face it.. if we beat Michigan, it would be a big upset.. and would be H-U-G-E. Come on Huskers, lets do it!

 

GBR!

You are reading a lot of posts that say Nebraska is going to do well against Michigan, because they will.

 

How many points am I giving???

 

I remember my first beer.

Drop the crack pipe and back away please. When I can get points, why would I give 'em?? Does that happen a lot on the UM boards?

If I were a betting man, I would bet on the Huskers because I think they will cover the spread. Since I am not, I will merely say that if I were a betting man I would bet on the Huskers to cover. Two touchdowns is a lot. A month to prepare is a lot. Michigan feels like they got screwed by Iowa getting a better bowl. They either take it out on us, or they aren't as motivated to be playing a team like Huskers and the Skers capitalize. We'll see. I'm optimistic after the CU game though.

Michigan by 10.

[husker rob]

but vegas has you at 13.5 to 14 yet you are only giving 10? dont you have faith in your wolverines? you were talking alot of smak earlier are you loosing your nerve.

[CreightonJay4MICHIGAN]

Michigan isn't a team that blows teams out. They win. Besides, even if they got up like 21- Carr would call the dogs off and put in the scrubs early. Therefore: Michigan wins by 10.

[CreightonJay4MICHIGAN]

What do you want me to say? I don't think Nebraska is very good... There's a lot of very hopeful, very die-hard fans that want something to believe in-- but I think the team is still a year or two away from true respectability. If Michigan shows up to play, they win- end of story. It's like when Michigan plays Minnesota. Minnesota's not a very good team, but if Michigan doesn't show up to play, they won't win. (as apparent)

Why in a bowl game would he do such a thing. Unless UM's scrubs are all upper classmen on their last game.

[blue>red]

As stated, Michigan is the team that gets a lead and tries to sit on it. It's like Lloyd Carr is too afraid to embarass another program. Michigan letting loose wins by 25, Michigan in reality wins by 12, and if Michigan pouts about being in the Alamo Bowl they win only by 3.

 

Sorry Nebraksa, your Huskers gonna get shown the door.

If we are a year or two away from respectability, what does that say for Michigan? A win is a win, a loss is a loss, both or 7-4.

 

End of story? Let me peruse your logic: If Michigan plays well, the win. If they play poorly they lose. Ok, got it.

just got back, been on the road for past 2 weeks, but i am excited about the Huskers getting an Alamo Bowl bid.......all i can say is they should be well coached /prepared and should provide a great effort (IMHO) ......don't know if that will be enough, but i like their chances and the opportunity they have here. anyone else?

Benard and FF are taking Michigan minus the point spread! They are hoping no one takes the bet! How embarassing if NU covered the spread and they had already agreed!

[NamelessHusker]

Michigan wont cover. Not by 13. This is a suckers bet, plain and simple. If anyone understands gambling, go look at the O/U this year and see how Michigan has fared. Also look at the +/- odds on favorites and see how well they did.

Do you have eyes on your buttocks? Hmmm?

 

Don't think too hard about it, you may need to change your drawers.
