The Maudfather Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I wouldn't touch this line. We're going into the game with a short week, Illinois is coming off of a bye. I expect Illinois to sell out to stop the run. If they're successful, then we are going to have to rely on Lee to make plays with his arm. If Lee continues to hang around a 50% completion percentage and continues to throw the ball to the other team, then they're going to stay in the game - they may even win the damn thing.

Warrior10 Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Morgan being 100% would probably put me over the edge and take the skers. We need weapons in the passing game. Quote Link to comment

It was a night game and the line was unbelievably tight. I couldn't understand why. Since then, I sorta trust the lines when they look fishy. I usually do understand why, but early season lines can be all over the place at times. Quote Link to comment
bugeater17 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 My book's got it down to -5.5 as well Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 It might just be me wanting to bet this game so badly but man it seems like a 27-13 kind of win for the Huskers. Kind of like me in college, I can't find a reason why the Illini will score a lot. Quote Link to comment
Hilltop Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I have no clue what to expect. Stopping Rutgers doesn't prove much. Holding NIU also tells me next to nothing. 2 touchdowns in 10 quarters looks great until you consider who we did it against. Is Illinois any better?? We will soon find out. Nebraska should score 24-30 at least against a crappy Illinois defense. My gut tells me easy cover but my heart says stay the hell away from this one. Quote Link to comment

The way this defense has been playing, I can't think of any way the Illini could score a lot in this game. Except maybe on special teams? 4 Quote Link to comment

Very true, that's why betting the under on a game sucks lol. You're praying for long extended drives that stall in the RZ and end up in missed FGs or turnovers haha. Quote Link to comment
Nebhawk Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 6.5 spread is a decent number for winning on, but I truly see a battle . 28-24 Skers nail biter. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Unders looking like the play. Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 Good play for those that took unders. I took -5.5 right before kickoff once I heard Decker/Jameis were starting and Stan was good to go. a Quote Link to comment
