I picked Nebraska in a teaser +18.5. Could go either way. Seattle was a 12.5 fav last night at home against Indy, down 15-10 at half, and still managed to cover this spread going away. 12.5 is one of those lines, could go either way, but I like the fact we are at home, desperate for a win, and Wisky tends not to be an offensive juggernaut, especially in the passing game (sans their time with Wilson of course).

Huskers 12 1/2 point dog to Wisky

don't tease unless you are crossing the 3 and the 7. the math does not work out well for you.
Whatever. My last run I made $15k betting football. The only thing that beats a good capper is an algo, and I am not going to pretend to think like one. This bet falls into the multiple game teaser category and I have won plenty of 4-6 game teasers in my lifetime.
I make my picks and live with them. I have 2TDs and a field goal lead with points to spare vs a Wisky team that is either Top 5-10 or over-rated, at Nebraska, vs a Mike Riley led squad desperate for affection. We are stout up the middle so my bet here is Wisky has a tougher time exposing our weak OLB and CB play than previous opponents, plus we play less head up the *** football, and are passionate in what could be the last game the National Media gives a shite about.
If Wisky is that good, then I lose. It's part of a few teasers I put together in the $200 outlay range and sets me up for a nice weekend if I hit one, plus I can always hedge down to the wire if it comes down to one or two games. That part is fun. GBR
I'm sorry but we can't let a thread go on this long without a Scott Frost mention.
What would the points be if he were our coach this year instead of next?
The points would be exactly the same ....
Except they would be preceded by a minus rather than a plus sign
The first thing "Modern" Nebraska players need to learn is to play against teams like Wisconsin and Iowa as just another game and not give a hoot what Vegas thinks. For some reason the Huskers play against these type of teams like they are the bogeyman. I don't know who is going to get this changed, but so far Callahan, Pelini and Riley have not gotten it done on a regular basis.
