Spread is back down to -3 Nebraska.

Started at -4, went to -5, to -6, back to -4.5 and now back to -3.

It seems the odds makers are the only one's favoring Nebraska today.

Hate to break it to you, But the Bruins are favored to win this game. I see no reason they won't :ss:

Why You Should Give A Hoot: UCLA-Nebraska may not be the biggest Week 3 game among ranked teams, but it has plenty of meaning to both of the combatants.

The 23rd-ranked Huskers have a score to settle with the Bruins, who won last year’s game on the West Coast, 36-30. Nebraska, which fancies itself as a co-favorite in a very deep Big Ten Legends Division, rebounded from a rough start with Wyoming to bludgeon Southern Miss last Saturday. All eyes will be on Bo Pelini’s defense, which has been maddeningly inconsistent from time to time.

UCLA returns to work after resting in Week 2. The Bruins opened 2013 strong, hammering Nevada, 58-20, behind a high-powered offense. Head coach Jim Mora, like Pelini, is determined to guide his team to higher ground, preferably ending the year in Pasadena. A win in Lincoln could catapult No. 16 UCLA to new heights of confidence before the start of the Pac-12 season.






Why UCLA Might Win: If Nebraska plays defense the way it did against Wyoming, the Bruins will shred the Cornhuskers.

UCLA likes to spread the field with playmakers and allow star QB Brett Hundley to distribute. Hundley represents a very tall order for the Huskers, because of his ability to make things happen with his arm and his legs. While it was just one game versus Nevada, Jordon James looks as if he might be the answer at running back, rushing for 155 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries.

Why Nebraska Might Win: UCLA will score. Nebraska will answer.

The Huskers move the ball like a Pac-12 program. They, too, boast a dual-threat quarterback, Taylor Martinez, who’s flanked by playmakers. Nebraska harbors the better skill position talent, a big-play group consisting of backs Ameer Abdullah and Imani Cross and receivers Kenny Bell and Quincy Enunwa. The retooled Bruin defensive backfield will need to be on its game Saturday afternoon.

What Will Happen: Nebraska is flawed. UCLA is focused. The Bruins have had two weeks to prepare for a Husker defense that still has a long way to go before achieving consistency. With Hundley in charge, the visitors will keep the sticks moving and the scoreboard changing. Nebraska can certainly hang with UCLA offensively, but not for 60 minutes. Barr and Kendricks will eventually do something disruptive that jars the ball loose and changes the tenor of the game. The Bruins are the more complete team right now, which will be the difference in the compelling undercard to Alabama-Texas A&M.

Prediction: UCLA 41, Nebraska 34

If they set the line right, they always win.

They want 50/50 betting on both sides and keep the scratch. Vegas doesn't care if they're right or wrong.
