I really don't know either, but we should try to nail that down. There is a big difference after all…
ESPN(tfwiw) projection of season win totals
- Thread starter Ohio_husker
- Start date
wait ... I thought it was any primate ...... I'm pretty sure a lemur could have a lot of success
Pretty sure it wasn't any primate, although you do make a good argument.
Yea Bucks barely squeaked by the regular season out scoring our opponents 453-129 and beating you 62-3.
Buckeyes will be fine, number 2 recruiting class coming in with 2018 class going to be the best all time when its finished.
Yeah, but that 62-3 was really more like 59-3...so it really wasn't that bad. Haha
Just ignore tom and his wife. He has been on a crusade telling us Ohio state struggled most of the year last year and is ripe for the picking.
YEA! Your coach knows how to run up the score!
Here are some real stats about OSU. More than half of their Big Ten games last year were within a TD.
Wisky...tied at end of regulation (7 point win)
PSU...loss
NWU...four point win
MSU...one point win
MU...three point win (on a very questionable call)
In those four close wins combined, OSU was outyarded by the opposition. We are not talking about fluky play.
If those teams can play with OSU then there isn't really any reason why we can't do the same. We have the best qb in the Big Ten now and some of these other teams had absolute turds for qb. We will be fine.

Im willing to bet at least half of the Nebraska fans on this board believe Tanner Lee is the best Quarterback in the country.
LMAO ! you corn people are really funny. I guess this is what you do when your school is irrelevant in college football. What ever floats your boat.
Did you read the rest of the thread or just cherry pick? Transvestite Tom is the only one in this thread beating this drum. But way to label an entire fanbase off of one confused poster's post.
How many points are those records worth this year? Yes the past shows what happened and is likely to happen again. It isn't absolute in it's prediction though right?
Again, since you are reading-challenged, address this to transvestite tom, not the rest of the board. He's the one making the statements about your program. Most on here have respect for the state your program is in. We are down, and if you spend time on this board, you will see most admit that.
Don't know what you are trying to do here, unless it's just a simple trolling day for you.
I'm guessing you don't like real stats. Let's try this again...and this time read slowly.

P.S. And I didn't even mention how you were completely boat-raced by Clemson.
And we were absolutely boatraced by Ohio State, which makes your thread ridiculous. Please stop, Tom!
No question they smoked us. However, I refuse to lay down and act like they will trounce everyone this year. A few different bounces and they could have easily ended up 8-5 last year.
The same thing happened to us two years ago. A few different bounces and we could have been 8-5. I know you would agree with that!
You know that because you're Tom.
This year will be different... it's a home game, likely at night... it will be closer. But we were blown out by them, haven't been close to them really in several years, and it will likely be another loss to Ohio state. I am gonna pull for the huskers like crazy, will watch the entire game no matter what, and hope for a victory. I'm just not as optimistic as you.
I never expect a loss to anybody, especially at home. Last year was last year. 62-3 has absolutely no bearing on this year's game. It's not like we have to make up that deficit somehow. The game starts at 0-0 just like any other game. I don't think anybody denies it will be a very tough game, but no way am I going to just expect us to lose. And yes, Tom does make a good point. OSU showed last year they were beatable. It would maybe be a little different to see us figuring out a way to beat them if they just steamrolled everybody. But they didn't.
I never used to expect a loss to anybody either, but then the last 15 years happened. It's not as easy for me to simply say "we're gonna win" like I used to.
Look, I'm not saying we can't win, but I do think the deck is stacked against us. They are what we used to be, and we are trying to get back there. To do that we're gonna have to beat them. Hopefully it's this coming season... just not holding my breath yet.
I get it, the OSU fan is busting his ass off just to keep reminding us about last years loss and how badly we lost like some how we suddenly forgot and Tom is simply trying to show how OSU did overall. But i get it, if he actually focused on the whole post instead of cherry picking the one single game that we bomb shelled it in, then hed have to admit OSU did look very beat able and average at times for having all those 5 star and 5.9 4 star and higher players on there team. But sure, that one game they played us and kicked our teeth in. They looked like the GOAT NCAA football team. But that was one single game and as much as he (or they) want to keep beating that lope sided score this past seasons dum. That season is over with and a completely different Husker squad will show up this season coming up. It will start off 0-0. Not the score from last year and going forward.
And im sorry, i no way will i say NW or Iowa is better then us. Hell its hard to even say Wisky is better. PSU and OSU i can give that node to but not those few other teams. But that was coming from a Bias Iowa fan and like us Husker fans, hes not going to give us any extra credit. Although ill give it to that Hawkeye fan, hes very reasonable at TIMES when he post over here. Minus said post above

They were way off(by at least 4 wins) on Wisconsin, Michigan State and Penn State last year. They were off by 3 wins for Minnesota. They were off by 2.5 wins on Rutgers. They were off by 1.5 wins on Indiana, Maryland, Ohio State, and Purdue.
I'd say that's quite a few misses, and several by quite a bit. And that's just for the B1G. They missed on 4 teams by at least 3 wins and all but one of those they missed on the low end. If they're off by that much for us, that gives us a pretty good season.
I promise we'll win more than 6 games. This line is just another Vegas jot where they see we lost a record QB and have a new D coordinator; they don't take into account that Tommy was a bottom 20 qb in the nation and Diaco is miles better than Banker already. Anything under 8 wins will be a travesty. This schedule is not hard when you look at the west opponents. Losses to OSU and PSU are likely but every other game on the schedule is win able and we'll be favored in all but 3 games (Oregon OSU & psu). Time to nut up and win the West.

Dude... you are talking to a "preacher" currently parading as a woman, who struggles with kindergarten level math. Don't lump the trolling preacher (who constantly lies), in with the rest of Husker fans.
I would probably take the overs on that one. I would also say that I put more weight in what Vegas has to say than what a media publication says. It is Vegas's job to make money and to get those lines where they can get equal amounts of money on both sides. I am guessing by the time the season starts you will see that number move to 7, or the payouts will be adjusted.
I is just so hard to figure what is going to happen. If the OL can up its play and stay healthy then the over should be a pretty easy get. You can say the QB position will be better, but I just don't know for sure.
6 wins is what I projected awhile back... I have zero faith in this season, the next one, or anything after that. In fact, I'm pretty sure, this will be my last year as a Husker fan.
Just out of curiosity, I did a real quick comparison of the Vegas win total over/under from 2016 to the actual regular season win total (meaning I didn't include any championship games or bowl games, which I believe aren't included in that number anyway) for all 128 FBS teams. I'm not sure how many different things do win totals, so I just went with the first ones I found.
In doing that comparison, I found that for 41 teams, or nearly 1/3rd of all teams, they were off by more than 2 games (2.5 or more games). I would consider 2.5 or more games off to be significant enough to be considered flat wrong, and not just slightly off. A few examples of some that were very far off: Notre Dame won 4 games, line I found had them at 9.5; Marshall won 3 games, line I found had them at 8.5; Old Dominion won 9, line had 5; Wyoming won 8, line had 3.5; Idaho won 8, line had 3.5; UCLA won 4, line had 8.5; Colorado won 10, line had 4.5.
The point is, they are actually wrong quite often. In fact, very few teams did they get exactly right, and there were a pretty good number that were in the 1.5 to 2 games off range, that I didn't include in the number above.
Only a matter of time before someone here brings up the 90s. Just give it time. The 90's. Like it was yesterday
Only a matter of time before a troll who can't even spell screen names shows up talking crap. Just give it time. Like it was yesterday.
You a fan of dolphins or something?
