well it wouldn't be an upset if WE were favored...... :koolaid2:

 

[TheKiD]

I'm betting the farm that we cover.

 

[husk3rf8n]

Sadly, I see no way we cover!

Many said the same about TT!!!

Given the beatdown they put on KSU, it could be worse. I'll put a couple shills on my boys to cover though! :thumbs

 

[fro daddy]

sounds about right for the opening line. THe cover boils down to the OU D. They have given up a lot of points at times this year.

 

[Blackshirtsguru]

Yeah I am not too shocked about the opening line.

We'll have to see how Coach Pelini says practice goes this week. That has been a good indicator this season how the game goes.

 

[melscott62]

a little high. the KSU score was 23 points and I think we are at least a score better than them

Hope that it's not a very big farm. <_<

I'm betting the farm that we cover.

One interesting thing this season is that NU is really hard to predict --- that is, will the Huskers play w/o penalties, without turnovers and with few mental mistakes? If so, then NU easily covers that spread. If not, they do not.

OU is a little unpredictable too (well, their offense is predictably good at all times) --- but their defense is sometimes good other time awful.

So.... who knows? I think it really, really unlikely that we win --- but to cover the 21.5 points is something that I think we will do (unless we do the turnover thing and kill ourselves with penalties).

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

I think that's a little large, but I don't mind us being the underdog, that way we can sneak up on some people.

 

[huskerswrkhavoc]

as some of our kansas fans would say......

vegas is giving away free money this week boys.

just kidding.

but i think we keep it close, simply because their D has been less than stellar

 

[NUpolo8]

Ouch.

I think I know better, but I'll be watching and hoping. A win would be fun.

True

OU's D has been struggling, we should put up some points. Hopefully we can do what we did against TTech, chew clock like a muther and keep our D off the field. If we can do that we should stay in striking distance. If we give Bradford and Co a lot of chances with the rock they'll get momentum going and light us up.
