Because Nebraska has been able to keep it close and tOSU is not as good as they have in the past.
Expert it to go to 17.5 and 18 by kickoff..
Because Scott Frost teams have this weird ability to play good enough to potentially win, but ultimately lose, no matter the competition. Remember the slew of fans claiming he needed to continue as a coach because he didn’t get blown out.
They know we have a sellout streak and a bunch of 5* heart kids that we continue to market. Over 2 decades and counting. The kids weren’t even born yet since we won a conference championship so they’re going with our 3* roster that’s about to break out seeing most are 6 year JR’s!! It’s like today’s media for Brandon. Cover up how bad it really is and never going back to how it was.
Road game, our defense is decent, our offense tends to be productive when we get a few scores down, OSU probably thinking this is the easiest game left on the schedule and a rest week.
The flip side is they may want to score style points for playoff rankings.
The Penn State game was a wake-up call for us. There are still issues with the back 7 on defense. The OL did not play well (running game) against Penn State (credit to their defense). November is when you play for championships and I don't think OSU can afford to look ahead. Nebraska is a more physical team than in past years and playing better on the D side. . Hopefully, we can get the running game going and tighten our coverages in the secondary.
With an 11:00 start I’m thinking tOSU will be sleep walking through the first and we may actually be ahead 7-10 points at halftime. They wake up in the 2nd half and win by 21. No way we keep it within 2 touchdowns.
Your one area to attack (pass defense) is not a strength for us to air raid the hell out of it like other teams have tried. That does not work for us. You are a bad matchup for us
Everybody thought Oklahoma, and Michigan would name the score. Illinois has put the worst beating on you so far. Question is for all those who want a new coach. Do you want a blowout so bad it gets you a new coach? Clemson blew Al Golden out if Miami about 7 years ago.
Yeah and I think for PSU they knew that the OSU game was their last grasp at a great season. They are totally shitting the bed now and probably have 1 if not 2 more losses.
I think I would bet the farm on OSU. They are going to beat the hell out of us. I hope the kids don't quit, but after this Purdue loss it could get ugly.
Yeah, it's actually dropped a little since the opening figures. Somebody must know something
OSU has more talent than OU and Michigan could put on the field together. They probably are behind only Alabama and equal to Georgia in that regard. Defense has been pretty suspect but nobody really thinks Nebraska can take advantage of that. I feel 17.5 is probably a better number but we can always hope for another close loss.
OSU was favored by 19.5 over Penn State at home last week after PSU’s pathetic performance against Illinois. OSU only won by 9
That seems to be the reason Vegas had a closer spread for this game rather than Vegas knowing something we don’t. Just my hunch.
I took OSU at -14 and expect them to cover easily

Agreed. With OSU fighting for playoff eligibility and style points, they will beat the brakes off us if given a chance.
Kind words, but we literally have no chance Sat. It will be over by halftime, and the kids will quit.
Probably something like this! Nebraska's D is very slow, Ohio St speed will destroy them for 4 quarters.
tOSU is a huge challenge, but an even bigger opportunity. Here's hoping I want to watch the 4th Qtr. 
Good thing I quit betting football two decades ago cause i'd have to go all in on OSU on that...which may explain why I suck at football bets.
I'm still formulating how OSU can be leading 49-0 in the 4th Qtr and us making this a one-possession game. 
If your concern is pass defense, rest easy bra. Score more than 21, slow down our running game, profit.
