Minnesota Opens as 6.5 Point Favorite Over Nebraska

[SierraRed]

Nice to see that Vegas has us as a slight road favorite.

Edit: at Minnesota

I would never bet against Nebraska, but if I wasn't a fan, I'd be all over Minnesota on that one. Hope I'm wrong on that.

Oh and thanks for starting it

Taking into account homefield advantage.

I have not seen anything yet. Vegas Insider usually posts their picks early afternoon. So it will be interesting to see what the consensus is

Sagarin "recent" rating has Minn by 6. Maybe the line will swing to Minn later in the week.

Agree with this.

I'm surprised we're favored. Minnesota is 5-0 and has us at home.

So which Sagarin spread will bettors use? The prediction spread is close. A comparison to the "recent" spread suggests Minn has been getting stronger or NU has been regressing or both.

Nebraska is 1-5 ATS thus far this season.

Anyone else find it strange that Sagarin has Minn by 6, we are without our “starter” at quarterback and Vegas has us favored? Even Vegas is “bagging” on AM.

72.55 (Minnesota) + 2.54 (home advantage) - 72.21 (Nebraska) = Minn by 2.55

OddsShark: opening, Huskers -2.5

Minnesota won their first four games by 7 or less points so simply saying they are 5-0 does not tell the whole story. They could easily be 1-4 with a bad bounce here and there.

I think Vegas is looking at the fact that against a fairly easy schedule Minnesota won their first four games by 7 or less points in each game. Could easy be 1-4.
