[Husker in WI]

This is good detail and its all healthy discussion. It is most definitely not UC- I think the Bearcats were obviously a legit top 10 team and closer to top 5 than many want to acknowledge. 

 

I basically agreed with you in a different post and said its probably closer to 65-70% W for the Huskers. NU absolutely SHOULD win this game. I just am fearful because they return a good veteran semi-mobile QB, strong RB, and great HC. NU has started slow under Frost- 0-6 year 1 losing to Troy at home, weird South Alabama game with like 3 non-offensive touchdowns that we win by 14 and then a loss to Colorado, blowout loss to OSU followed up with a L to NW and a 1-4 start. Would guess the line is going to be around NU -14 or so, would you lay 14 with NU on any team with a pulse? We've lost to worse teams under Scott and our confidence is... fragile to be kind. But again if we do what we are supposed to do- we should win.

 

Right fair enough - and to answer your question, I absolutely would not put my money where my mouth is, lol. I really think this can be a better year than the past 3 and I can make up confidence numbers, but if I had to put down money that's all out the window. Instead of felling like we can beat anyone if things go right, it feels like we can lose to anyone if things go wrong. I'm expecting that to change, but without a real reason other than hope.
