Michigan -25.5 over Sparty
Wisky -6 over Illinois

[phoenix4nu]

20-9 sounds about right.

 

[huskerfan66]

I would like to think we win by more than 11

I bet Wisky fans were saying the same exact thing yesterday before their game..

Exactly. I’d like to think we win. No guarantees with this bunch

Me too… Point spreads are just for fun…

Trap game. Team we should demolish with run game and defense but always a close game 21-17 huskers.

 

[mgbreis]

I love winning ugly. This bunch isn't gonna win pretty! I DGAS if we win 6-3 with three safeties.

I'm hoping to see something different this year from this Ruhle lead team. But I absolutely agree this is the kinda game Frost would've found a way to lose. I hope we find a way to win it lol

In terms of betting this game, FanDuel has this as the Huskers favored by -13.5. That seems a bit generous for us, no? Hate to pick against us on the spread but I think we win...just not by that much.

 

[huntered]

+11 with our offense seems a bit steep

 

[HuskerAlum92]

I want to see what a Rhule-coached team looks like after a bye week. It was an automatic L under Frost, and I am hoping there is a clear improvement under Rhule. The opponent isn’t a juggernaut, so it should provide a good read.

 

[KingBlackshirt]

That Minnesota loss just stings so badly. 2 more wins seem possible. 3 should be but we always trip up. Here’s hoping the bye week brought heath and some new offensive concepts.

 

[SickOfPractice]

I hope HH's legs are well rested. I'll take a 1 point win.

Husker O shows up with their shit together and doesn't step on their own dicks, repeatedly.

34-7 Huskers.

 

[HuskersNC]

I could see another 20-7 game but years of letdowns, including mind-boggling losses against Northwestern, have me a bit skeptical too.

Would be a pleasant surprise

I probably wouldn’t have us a 2 touchdown favorite over anyone, lol. Shows how much I know I guess…

 

[The_Man_Behind_The_Man]

No onside kicks PLEASE!!

Yep let's just get to 7 wins. Don't care how we do it this year

 

[Huskers123456]

Perfect bye week timing. Come out looking good and beat NW and the rest of the season looks promising.

 

[Bugeater]

Win by a point, that's all!

 

[Wasker77]

Any word on if injured players will be ready for the Northwestern game? Reimer or Singleton?

don't think we're good enough for "trap games" to be a thing.

it would shock nobody if one 3-3 team beat another 3-3 team.

i'm expecting a nailbiter, but hoping to be wrong.

Trap game?

Are you suggesting the Huskers are looking ahead to the big matchup with a 2-5 Purdue team?

 

[pascal]

No onside kicks PLEASE!!

But they won't even see it coming.

Reimer back, Singleton out.

Huskers 27

[BetterRed]

My book has Nebraska as 13.5 favs with the o/u at 44. I like the under.

I see some Vegas sites at -12.5..
O/U 42.5

 

[Muskyhunter16]

I saw some of their game against Penn St, that’s it though. They moved the ball pretty well in the first half, their defense is suspect however at least against the run. I’ll probably stay away on betting this game but if I had to knowing how they always play tight games with us, I’d probably take the points and the under

 

[salsa red]

Looks like vegas is daring husker fans to bet, while expecting a close game.

 

[Lincoln100]

Feels like a 24 - 16 kinda game

Did you even read my post? The trap lies within the minds of the players, favored by 11, feeling good off a win off a bye week, expected to win. I too expect a nail biter back and forth with mistakes. 21-17.

There is no way the players "feel good" about this season. If Rhule and staff are any kind of coaches, the players should be hungry, and pissed off at themselves.

getting a win always feels good, especially when they haven't came cheap the last 10 years.

those are 2 different takes.

you've probably never played organized football, I doubt these guys are looking at the spread and chalking it up as a win already. enough of this roster has experienced losing to Northwestern, they know what it feels like to be hit by them and are fully cognizant a loss is possible.

if we didn't have the exact same reocrd, you might be right.

How many times have you watched this program get a win when it really needed one (Illinois game) then come out the next week against a team on paper we should beat and get steam rolled? Thats to be considered a trap game, can happen if you are 7-0 and ranked or 3-3 clawing for bowl eligibility. Now, we seem to be arguing but also in agreement of the current state of our husker program that the players shouldn't be in that mindset, I agree and I hope they are not. Time will tell. As far as throwing some big dick shit "you've probably never played organized football", thats absurd, like 99% of the posters on here, my playing days ended in October in high school. Who would waste this much time on a message board if they didn't play organized football and didn't still have passion for it.
