If we don't win by more than 24, I am going to count on losing to Michigan, Michigan St, AND Northwestern. This had better be a blowout in every sense of the word.

 
I'll judge this game more by how our O-Line and especially D-Line play. I expect our D to only give up 3-10 points in this game. Any thing more confirms my view even more.

 
We should cover a 24 point spread. We should with no problem against a team that has already lost to a FCS team. But, you never know with this team.

I wouldn't bet anyone's money on this or any other Husker game. You never know which team is going to show up, and this defense has underperformed so badly that you cannot count on shutting down an otherwise hapless opponent.

This guy right here.

Nebraska's defense is more than capable of making any offense look elite. Especially when they have a semi-mobile QB. If Nebraska shows up and plays a 60 minute game, they could destroy the spread. I certainly wouldn't put any money on it though. I'd be shocked if Nebraska shows up for this game. In any case there's virtually no chance the Goofers win.

 
Well if this Minnesota team is the same one that played USC to 3 pts, then I'm definitely taking Minnesota.

HOWEVER

If its the team that got beat by Michigan 58-0 then I'm taking Nebraska.

:D :D

 
They have Gray back and we usually don't do well against scrambling QBs. The point spread will be close but I wouldn't bet it

 
I have to take Minnesota on this one. I don't think there's any way we lose, but the point spread has not been kind to the Huskers this year...

That. Plus any other game we play could go either way. Who woulda thunk Minny would be such a pivotal game for us. I don't think winning is in any doubt but this has to be a complete blowout or we will struggle the remainder of this season. If Pelini and company did not successfully address the glaring defensive deficiencies with the extra week we could easily see another 3-4 losses.
