Branno Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 It almost sounds like a good time to start betting on sports. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 A few days before Fresno St. I wrote in my status that 10.5 pts was an absurdly small spread for NU to be favored by. People disagreed. They said it was too high. But now getting 8.5 seems reasonable for us to play in Lansing. IN LANSING. AGAINST SPARTY. My, my, things have really changed in just a month. LULZ I'd LOVE to see us beat Sparty. But in all honesty an 8.5 spread seems low to me by a touchdown. Or more. 1 Quote Link to comment

tschu Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Well would you look at that, spread is already up to 9.5 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Well would you look at that, spread is already up to 9.5 Did you lay the eight? Quote Link to comment
tschu Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'm not betting this game. Can't bring myself to do it. Should have laid the 7, but it took all of a half hour to move to 8.5. I hate betting on the Skers (for or against) ...my fanhood tends to cloud my judgement and I hate having the emotional conflict even though I'll gladly lose a bet if it means a Husker win. So, no.

IllinoisHuskerFan Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Love it! When everbody loves the favorite and the line keeps growing give me the other side. Vegas even thinks were better than the public.... I wont play it but I like what I see. With that said I could give a damn about the number if we dont win. Quote Link to comment

The Nebraskan Assassin Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Based on recent history, I definitely wouldn't bet the Huskers. Probably will end up being another example of us getting waxed on national TV. Quote Link to comment
AFhusker Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 From McKewon's latest article. 3-7: Nebraska’s record under Pelini in true road games against teams ranked in the Associated Press Top 25. In those 10 games, NU was outscored by an average of 34.7-24.7. All of them have been conference games — six in the Big 12 and four in the Big Ten. NU’s lone Big Ten road win was a 17-14 victory against No. 12 Penn State three days after Joe Paterno was fired in the wake of the Sandusky scandal in 2011. The other three Big Ten games: A 48-17 loss at No. 7 Wisconsin in 2011; a 45-17 loss at No. 20 Michigan in 2011; and a 63-38 loss at No. 12 Ohio State in 2012.Under Bill Callahan, Nebraska was 1-4 in such games, and NU was outscored by an average of 30.8-14.4. Frank Solich was 1-9 in such games, and NU was outscored by an average of 35.4-21. Quote Link to comment

Samuel McKewon@swmckewonOWH Winning on the road against ranked teams is hard. Osborne went from Nov. 19, 1988 to Sept. 28, 1991 without beating a ranked team, period. Samuel McKewon @swmckewonOWH · Sep 28 Of course, he only played six of them in that stretch. All great teams. Three of them won national titles! Quote Link to comment

RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I will be high pointing this line. Hoping for double digits. I plan on taking Nebraska at anything over 8. I might even bet it at every number I see if the line keeps going up. Usually play $33. Ill bet this one at $100. And ill also be betting $50 on the moneyline which currently sits at +273. I like us to win this game in the 27 - 17 range. I even have this gut feeling that if we don't turn the ball over, we could get in the 40s. Like a 45 - 24 type game. I may need to seek a therapist. Just playing a hunch. I had this similar hunch on the Vikings this last weekend. Heres to hoping the streak continues. Quote Link to comment
