What do you think the line will open up at next week?

[Jack_John_Mark]

I'll guess Wisconsin is going to be favored by 13 to open. Take your best guess.

 

[popeyecv64]

nope --not that high

Consin by 7

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Actually pops you are probably right...........the linemakers have an insane amount of love for us this year

I was going to say 7 myself, but will go with 7.5 for opening, and droping to 6.5 before gameday....

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I mean, with our offense giving up 30 points a game the way it is.........I would have to think people would expect Wisconsin can easily score 40 on us...........which means they would have to expect that we can score 35 on Wisconsin in order to have a line under 7.

I think back to the Big 12 Championship against Texas when they were favored by 12, and I think our chances looked a lot better against them.

 

[Exorbitant]

I'm usually not good at guessing betting lines, but I'm going to guess an opening line of Wisconsin by 9.5. I did come close to the Wyoming score though. I predicted Nebraska would win by 38-21.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I had a line of 21 for Nebraska.........I bet on it and won it

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I could be way wrong on 13 being the spread.........but I mean Wisconsin is obviously in a completely different world than we are right now, and I think they are more than 1 TD better than we are

hmmm....7+29+38+14 = 88/4 = 22 < 30

Dude, you were shitting the bed before the Washington game too....

Wisconsin will most likely win, but the opening line will be around 7.....

LMAO!

I was not shitting the bed before the Washington game...........I simply said we should not look past them. Everyone was writing them off. And actually, we're kinda lucky we got some of the breaks we did in that game. That team is not that bad.

Why the hell the line was -17 for that game I have NO idea......that was any easy win for anybody who bets a lot on sports.

Ok, bet me right now before vegas ways in....you give me 7.5 points and the Huskers.....

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I would never...........EVER.........bet against the Huskers. No matter what.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I will tell you one dadburned thing right now though...........if the line is at -6.5, people are going to be betting major money on that shit.

 

[Driaz]

I said the line might close at -6.5.....we'll see.....you should bet me if you so confident.....why not separate a fool from his money?

You want me to bet against Nebraska? I don't care if you offer me Wisconsin +1,000 points...............I will never bet against Nebraska. Even if it means I make a million bucks.

 

[huskers1217]

Neb will win 27-21 but the line will be wimsky by 10 1/2

 

[Driaz]

It's an internet bet.....hell, you're the one that thinks Wisconsin is going to win by 1 billion points en sech.....

I simply think you are way wrong.....the line will open somewhere close to Wisky being a 7 point favorite......You think I'm crazy thinking that.....so we can bet (friendly internet wager)......you think Wisky giving up 7 points is a suckers bet to make easy money on....I don't think so, and I don't think Vegas will be much different then what I'm thinking.......I could be totally fucking wrong.....wouldn't be the first time in my life......I'm just very confident in my opinion and will do a signature bet with you.....

Not on the outcome of the game....but on the opening vegas line.....

Line opens at less than Wisconsin being an 8 point favorite, you change your sig to Driaz is the smartest man in the world....

If the line opens 8 or larger I'll change my sig to JJM is the second smartest man in the world.....

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

LOL

Sir Driaz, I think you think that I think you are stupid or something............I actually think you are probably right about the line opening up at 7...........I am horrible at predicting that stuff.

I do not think Wisconsin will win by 1 billion points.............BUT, let's be honest. Wisconsin's games have been 51-17, 35-0, 49-7, 59-10 wins................that is obviously much better than Nebraska has performed thus far.

All I'm saying is, Wisconsin is in a better position to win this game beings that they are playing at home, with one hell of a Senior leader at QB and one HELL of a monster offensive line, with a HELL of a running back.

We have not played a game yet this year that would have kept us within 17 points of Wisconsin...........let's hope we do better next Saturday.

ok, but you have to look at who they played as well....do you think UNLV, Orgeon St, Northern Illinois, and South Dakota are as tough as Chatanooga, Fresno St, Washington, and Wyoming?

I don't think there is a huge difference, but I think clearly Nebraska has played some tougher teams thus far and I'm honestly glad.....

I still think Wisconsin wins the game, but it isn't going to be a blowout like you think it will be.....

Hey you have the wrong idea sir..............you just wait until you see my score prediction for this week, I am predicting a Husker win.

I was speaking strictly about the betting line here in this thread. As far as everyone else in the country has to see us, I can't see how anyone would think Nebraska can keep it within 7 points.
