huskerfan74 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I am not buying what Vegas is selling and I really wish that they say we are the underdog. I saw how Minnesota played Ohio state and they are not an easy team to beat. We will need to have the best game of the season, cut down the penalties to less than four and get some turnovers. We have not been able to do that all season long, what makes Vegas think, we can do it this week? Also, Minnesota is not one dimensional. They have some good running backs. We could not stop a one dimensional team in NW when our first win was on the line, can we stop an angry Minnesota team looking for its first Big ten win? Vegas needs to rethink its math. 1 Quote Link to comment

Vegas could not care less who wins they get 10% of every bet they just want lots of bets Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 The only thing Vegas knows is where to put the line to get even money on both sides. From there, they adjust to make sure that happens. Yhey couldn’t care less what team is best. They know where the gamblers are going to put their money. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment
BoSolich Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 ok, having looked it over again minnesota is really bad on offense. they're starting running back is out for the year and they are only scoring 21 ppg if you don't count the New mexico st game. we should win this game, but there's no way i'd bet on it. 1 Quote Link to comment

Landlord Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 maybe vegas actually replaced our roster with robots to purposefully sabotage the first 6 games of the season only to make tons of money by fixing everything in week 7 Quote Link to comment
NebraskaHarry Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Nebraska beats Minnesota. Score will be around 37 to 24. 3 Quote Link to comment

I didn't see that but I did see how they played Maryland. So I felt the exact opposite about Minnesota. I think we beat Minnesota, but I was also pretty confident we'd beat Northwestern too, so who knows. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 We did beat Northwestern, but we're so "Nebraska Nice" we gave them the win back because Pat Fitzgerald is a baby. 3 Quote Link to comment

Explain to me why you wouldn't count a game that they played? Because NMSU has a crummy defense? So does Nebraska. That whole "if you ignore their successes there are only failures" argument has always baffled me. People trot it out all the time, in sports and politics and business. 2 Quote Link to comment
