Ouch. I didn't think it would be that high.

I don't know about that.
Regardless, I stop betting on the Huskers while TO was still in charge (not that I really gamble anyway). I'd always bet with my heart instead of my head and came out poorer for it.

Honestly I don’t see us winning back to back to back BiG games. We haven’t done it since 2016. And we haven’t won back to back road games since….2006?! I dunno I’d like to say we are due but we haven’t had Purdues number for the last 100 years like we have had Rutgers. That and they are better at almost every stat that matters, we may get blown out if the Oline doesn’t magically learn how to pass pro by next week. Although the spread has gone from 13.5 to 12 so there’s that..
