Because, after a 9-7 home loss to a mediocre Iowa St. team without its two best players, we think we might actually have a chance to lose at Baylor.

So please people, stop respecting Baylor. It's just so damn annoying. From now on I want all predictions to be in the vicinity of 70-3 Nebraska.
Last week Nebraska was favored to win by 18 points. Guess what? They lost! This week Nebraska is favored by only 12 points over Baylor. That tells me that Nebraska's chances are very slim to win. Figure it out. If they can't win when they are big favorites, how can they win if they are smaller favorites? Nebraska could win the game maybe, but only if we get a bunch of turnovers from Baylor like we gave Iowa State last week.
SMAAAAAAAAAAARRRRTTTT.....
If we hadn't turned the ball over, we would have won by 60. The amount of turnovers that we had in that game was a COMPLETE FLUKE and will not happen again this season. Even if we had turned the ball over 5 times!!!! we would have won by 17... easily.
Nebraska will win this game, easily, but does that say anything about how we will fare the rest of the season? ... No. I, personally, think this game is hinging on the quarterback and receiver play (wow, imagine that). If they come out strong, we will pull away early.
Nebraska 31 Baylor 7
Oh.... by the way, if the quarterback and receivers come out and struggle, mightily, which is a possibility....
Nebraska 16 Baylor 7
