I'm not saying this because I'm a homer........I'm saying this because I know my team, and I love SportsHoopla and want everyone to have a chance to make some coin.....

Nebraska is -4.5 favorites at some places..........up to -6 at others.........

It doesn't matter. This is the lock bet of the week, guaranteed. Even if we have an off week, we will still cover the spread.

Don't miss this chance.

Nebraska by 20+ over UCLA

I wouldn't bet this game with your money. UCLA and Nebraska are so inconsistent that this could be a blowout either way. If they both play their best then yes, Nebraska should win easily.

Before I became a parent I used to gamble a lot. If a game ever looked like a lock, and the vast majority saw it as a lock, you're best to go the other way on it.

We called them 'carp', 'fish', or 'sucker' bets, and I had a lot of success on them.

I never bet for Nebraska though. There was enough stress just hoping for a win. Occasionally I'd put a few bucks on their opponent if the spread was small enough, figuring I'd win somehow no matter what happened.

I do think NU will win this game and am suspicious of the spread. Should be 8 or more. Careful.

Words of wisdom right here...

There's a reason why the spread is 4.5 and not 17 like you think it should be

I made this thread while very very much intoxicated.........so I feel like I need to back myself up on it.....

Honest truth though is I'm very nervous for this game. I don't even have any fingernails left jest from thinkin about the terrible possibilities......

Which I will make a thread about later.
