Dey stank

Actually loking at them and Idaho St's losses makes me skeert for DONU going forward.

NU opens as 7 point favorite.

That sounds about right.....

I'm sure that will drop as savvy gamblers grab those points......

5.5?

I think that's probably where it will settle in......

LOL....I just had a thought.....can you bet on where the betting line will end up before a game? I'm sure somewhere in Vegas you can bet on betting lines....

 

[Red_Alert]

Husker fans need to root for Mich St and Penn St to win this week.

I think Nebraska owns thee first half and takes a 3 score lead into the half.....

45-24 final

Them stats are so greatly skewed due to Idaho State though.....

If you compare our stats vs FBS opponents you'll see a big difference in favor of NW.....

Turnovers, staying out of 3rd and +6 and the D line. This will decide the game, I suppose this decides every game from here on out. I really have no Idea what to expect. On paper, should we win? I suppose.
