we opened as 11 point favorites vs rutgers.

rutgers lost at home to eastern michigan by 3. they are worse than us. if lee doesn't throw a pick 6 this weekend, we win easily by 14+

[Roll Skers]

We really just need to have drew brown sky the first kickoff and let Damian Jackson end a mans life on the opening kickoff to set the tone. That's what i see giving us the best chance this Saturday.

I think the entire state of Nebraska would riot....

If I was a betting man I would put a lot of money on Rutgers.

I'm not really worried about the win, just what that win is going to look like.

I have seen nothing to support being a 10 point favorite - this game will likely be much closer. This line is likely affected by a lot of betters seeing the names and blindly thinking that "of course Nebraska will beat Rutgers by 10" - i'm thinking not so fast my friend.

Yes, Nebraska lost to Northern Illinois, and yes, that makes prospects for this season bleak. 

 

Rutgers lost to Eastern Michigan, a school that was 0-38 against the Big Ten and 0-58 against the P5 schools, and they looked horrendous doing it. 

 

 If you think Nebraska is so bad they couldn't be a 2 TD favorite, try to see it from the perspective of the team that is such an underdog.

I'm seeing a lot -14 out there right now.  I'm hoping for a big total above 56 so I can take the unders.  Rutgers has Jerry Kill @ OC and he'll be grinding the clock like crazy.
