Indiana Opens As A Two Point Favorite Over Nebraska Update: Huskers Now One Point Favorite

Correct.

It's only greater than 3 in certain circumstances (none of which apply to Nebraska against Indiana).

“(Home-field) is typically worth three points but it can be more for certain venues where a team has been particularly tough at home for a stretch of several years,” Edwards said. “Also, if a team travels across country, especially on a short week (BYU at UCF last week), that can result in adding another point (or more) to the home-field advantage. Weather can be another variable … like a team from up North playing at Miami at noon eastern in September or early-mid October.”


Ok. My bad.

Point still holds.

We'd be an 5 point underdog to Indiana on a neutral field.

Still sucks.
 
It's important to note, Nebraska is a miserable 1-6 against the spread this season. That also will work toward oddsmakers adjusting lines.

And when the rest of the Koolaid drinkers lay their money on Nebraska +2, we'll be favored again come Saturday.

I don't understand anyone better for Nebraska right now, especially without a bucket load of points.
 



Remember they adjust the odds to promote betting. They really do not care who wins as they make their vig anyway.

They set the line in hopes of getting equal (or close to equal) money on both sides. That way, Vegas will always win. They lose when they set a bad line and a large percentage of the money comes in on the winning side of the line.

There is no doubt Vegas has been making a ton of money off Nebraska fans.

Not only in each individual game, but I recall fans going crazy over the offseason line for number of wins, thinking the over would be easy. Instead, it will be the under -- yet again.

Anyhow, at some point a game will actually come in on the Nebraska side of the line. But as I've said on multiple occasions this season, I wouldn't bet on it. Nebraska needs to show they are a team you can trust enough to put money on them.

Never been a gambler. I like to see what those who make money doing it thinks of the games, though. On this one, I think five points on a neutral field is right based on what we have seen so far. Maybe the bye week will produce some greater success. if it does then we have a good shot at a bowl game this year.
 
Home dogs to Indiana. That’s embarrassing.

I'd say that "should" fire up the Huskers . . . but it's been a looooong time since this team just came out and kicked someone's butt from the get-go that wasn't completely undermanned coming in. And even those few occasions were longer struggles than they often should have been. And this year's offense just seems incapable.

Maybe this weekend will be different, but I suspect we'll see more of the struggle bus sputtering along the turf. There's just too much wrong right now to hope that a couple weeks of rest and planning will cure it.
