Amazingly Zoogies we were. But once we won, suddenly sCUm was the worst team in the history of all sports. Same with the Michigan game. They were "overrated" after we beat them.

I say we win by 6.
I am loving this line - and so far, it is moving up (Nebraska getting more points!) - one has Nebraska at -19. :WTH
55 for an over so far - that sounds like a lock. I know the blackshirts are pretty good - but, we're pretty banged up at corner - so, won't be able to lock them down as if we were healthy. I see NO way they can stop us - I honestly believe our "issues" will come from execution and the pressure of the game.
A 55 point over winner is a 28-28 tie. Can we hold USC to 28? Can they hold us to 28?
Expect the line to move - Nebraska -15 or so, and I think the over HAS to go up.
As far as Nebraska beating the spread - heck, I think we can still win outright - however, if we get down BIG early - that would be the downfall. Long as we can play our game (run and throw) - we WILL at a minimum beat the spread. USC is getting too much respect, and Nebraska isn't getting enough.
If I were to set my OWN spread - it would have been USC by about 10.
No matter the competition - Nebraska has played TWO games - and USC one.
The west coast attack that Nebraska has been playing is VERY hard to defend against - even in the current "vanilla" form. Zac has more experience - it doesn't impress me that much that USC's QB has been holding a cipboard for 3 years. Sure - he looked great against Arkansas - but, Nebraska has ALREADY won a game (easily mind you) when they were 17 point dogs (can you say NU 30 CU 3)?
Watch the spread as the week goes on - it'll show you what people REALLY think. Right now, the money is on a USC blowout - but understand, fanatics bet first. People that know the teams playing wait for the spread - and then bet.
If Nebraska is "supposed" to lose by so much - I'm looking for a great payoff - cause I'm taking them to win OUTRIGHT.
GO HUSKERS! :w00t
