ESPN predicts Nebraska’s 2017 season game by game

Seems like they determine by FPI Rank and chance of winning %

So after an early season loss to Oregon, the Huskers will go 1-6 down the stretch.

You would think Banker was still here and Ryker was the projected starter. No offense to Fyfe, but that's how it seems.

 
14% chance to beat Oregon? (+10?)

17% chance to beat Wisconsin? (+9?)

5% chance to beat Ohio State. (+24?)

37% chance to beat Northwestern? (+4?)

40% chance to beat Minnesota? (+3?)

42% chance to beat Iowa? (+3?)

I mean, if there were a way to theoretically bet on those lines, I would take the overs on all.

EDIT: Makes me think, what are the lines going to be for those games then? ( edited part )

I'm putting money on all of those lines if they were to hold true. I might add I'm getting rich also

That's one of the stupidest ways of predicting a season. Basically Nebraska has an FPI rank of 58, so the "prediction" is that the Huskers beat every team ranked worse and lose to every team ranked better.

 
ESPN fired all of the prediction analysts and are now using the below computer to make their predictions for them:

Nebraska could go 5-7 in 2017.

Also, aliens could invade Earth, Independence Day style, in 2017.

Both seem equally probable.

Well Northwestern has beaten Nebraska in Lincoln once before. Just saying.

I think ESPN has been predicting Nebraska to go 5-7 or 4-8 for the last 10 years at least.

At some point, they'll be exactly like a broken clock and just happen to be coincidentally right.

 
Its all based on their FPI rankings which places tons of ephasis on returning starters, especially QB's, and rectuiting rankings.

It is basically trying to predict how you are going to do off of last years results. Which can be an indicator, but not always a great one.
