CFN's Fearless Prediction

[melscott62]

Sorry. Saying there is "NO WAY" they beat us by 14 is ridiculous. I'm not saying it WILL happen, but it is certainly in the realm of possibility.

All it takes is 2 missed tackles and that can be a 14 point spread. Literally. Now, NU has missed a half dozen or more open field tackles per game --- ususlly someone catches up to the guy with the ball and it is a big gainer -- or not --- and it is a score.

My point is this, the difference of 14 points between two teams can be 2 plays out of 75.

Can MU reasonably beat NU by 14. Yes. Can they beat NU by 28 or 35? Yes. Will it happen? Maybe. My prediction is MU 42 NU 24 --- so I guess, yes, I'd predict a 18 point spread. But it is only a guess. This game can be anywhere from a close NU win to an MU blow-out. It depends on how well NU plays --- will they be focused, will they be in the right position defensively, and will they have learned to tackle since last week? If the answer to any of those questions is No, MU wins. If the answer to all those questions are No, MU blows us out. If the answer to all of these are Yes, NU wins.

My point, the outcome of this game will depend on NU and how well the coaches have them prepared. MU is simply there. If the NU coaches have the team ready then they should beat MU. But if they play disorganized, confused, and w/o intensity like they have been, then NU loses. My prediction is that they will not be well prepared. MU wins and wins fairly big.

Of course, I hope I am wrong.

strange that you make the point that it could be a big time win for them and then say the best we can do is slip away with a win. yes we have our flaws, but so do they. their d is as bad as ours. It certainly possible for us to beat them just like we did last year

Missouri has gotten a lot of early season hype the last few years, only to end up fizzling mid-season.

Sound familiar????

Also, everyone FYI, don't go banging on Daniels throwing picks.

Daniels 13TDs-4INTs 1 INT per 44 attempts

Keller 9TDs-7INTs 1 INT per 26.5 attempts

Also, FYI we each average 1.5 INTs per game on defense so there is no statistical advantage there.

sure it is. what if we have 3 1st havlf turnovers like last game?

What if they don't? Nebraska will win this game if they play consistant.

Mizzou lost 4 of 5 during one stretch of last season, right? NU has never slid like that. When Missouri gets detoured, they completely fall of the map.

Also, FYI we each average 1.5 INTs per game on defense so there is no statistical advantage there.

But, Daniel's INTs have been rising, all of Daniel's picks (4) were in the past two games, against his weakest opponents, whereas Keller has only thrown one pick in each of the last two games. I hope there are some vulnerabilities with the M passing attack that opponents are starting to figure out and on which we can capitalize.

And as far as our defense, I was talking more about creating turnovers in high pressure, game changing situations like the ones I refered to moreso than overall turnover production. And like Keller's declining INT rate, hopefully the D's three picks last week is an indication of a growing trend.

I understand this argument but 3 more pics and 4 less TD's in 1 less game is saying that he isn't noticeably worse in the turnover department and aside from USC the schedule are comparable. I was only saying don't call him turnover prone when we are the same at QB if not worse.

If I remember correctly Missery was favored in that game as well??? It's going to be a close win for either team. Going to be one of those nail biter type of games.
