Some fans need to realize that there are no “relatively easy wins” anymore. I’m sure fans of other teams look at their schedule and consider Nebraska a “relatively easy win,” 25 minutes ago, Red Five said: What reality is this? I'm not trying to be a debbie downer, but statements like that are crazy. We haven't won more than 3 conference games since 2016, yet 4 conference games this year are "relatively easy wins"? Last year the over under was 6. Compare the two schedules. This year will be set at a minimum of 6.5. that's reality. Nobody has a clue what the actual win totals will be... It's all a guess obviously. On paper, Nebraska should win 7+ games. I personally believe it happens this year simply because it's extremely rare for a team to continue underperforming for so long. Eventually all teams statistically balance. Why not this year for Nebraska? Quote Link to comment
B1GRED Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 That's not how statistics work. Yes, over time things tend to average out, you won't continue to flip "tails" indefinitely. But once you have flipped tails 4 times, the statistical probability of a fifth is completely inpependent of the previous 4. Taken independently, the next flip has the same probability as the previous 4, (unless the actions Trev made the HC take, change the probability of the coin). And our coin seems heavily weighted towards "tails" for the last 4 years. Quote Link to comment

Your pissed off fandom says it will be 6.5 but in reality we know there are 6 relatively easy wins on the schedule so Vegas will be slightly above that. I will take your friendly internet wager!

big_red_husker_01 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Why you guys so dubious on Huskers. We lost all games less than 10 points. Small improvement on O & D will have big factor in record next year, big swing around. If we make small improvement record swings to 9-3 1 3 2 Quote Link to comment

thexyz Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 1 game at a time. I'm encouraged. No predictions from here. Hopefully the O-line can block a paper towel this next season! Quote Link to comment

I think our offense can take a big step forward though Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Quote Final record prediction: 8-4, 6-3 Wins: Northwestern (Dublin, Ireland), North Dakota, Georgia Southern, Indiana, at Purdue, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin Losses: Oklahoma, at Rutgers, at Michigan, at Iowa The word: For the first time in Scott Frost's tenure, the Huskers will appear in a bowl game in 2022 with the collective backs against the wall in the Big Ten. Much of that will be due to a 4-1 start prior to wins over Minnesota and Iowa during the final month of the campaign. Nebraska needs more consistency on both sides of the football next fall, but missing Penn State, Michigan State and Ohio State from the other side of the conference is a schedule blessing. 1 Quote Link to comment
