Northwestern opens as an 8.5 favorite Update: Down to 3.5
- Thread starter jmatlock
- Start date
ScoFro remains undefeated in Evanston
same 5 point drop as last week. hmm
NO year is a good year to be terrible.
But I hear ya
It would be nice to get the lead and play hard to keep it...START STRONG.
If you put $1100 on NU at 8.5 and $1100 on NW at 3.5 you are guaranteed to win one of the bets. NW wins by 4,5,6,7, or 8 you win both bets. Risk $100 to win $2000. If we only knew about this spread drop before it happened.
Unreal for a winless team...on the road.
This sir, is a party foul.
Like last week, the line has dropped but this time it has gone from NW -8.5 at the open to NW -3.5 at present. Moving five full points is noteworthy when the move is from 22 to 17. Moving five points from 8.5 to 3.5 is an entirely different thing and far more significant.
Non-gamblers can state that this is all meaningless. As a seasoned gambler, I can assure you that it is NOT meaningless and it likely means that someway, somehow, Nebraska will finally eek out a victory and end the losing streak.
Just for history...We have NEVER lost to NW on the road...In fact we have beaten them there by an avg. score of 30-19 in the 3 times we've played them there..Of course it can also be said we have only won 1 HOME game against them in Lincoln but by a very much closer scoring of NU-26...NW-28....SO I'd take the points, whatever they are, and take NU to WIN !!!!!!!!! FINALLY !!!!!!!!!!
Also, concerning the bold, we have apparently never started a season in our history 0 - 6. We so need to not set another record of futility, as we have been doing for the past 18 years. I find the -3.5 interesting, as I have us winning by 3. Let the good times roll baby!!! GO BIG RED!!!

No doubt... with our schedule, it was a good year to make a change. Expectations are tempered and a few arse kickings actually can help you in the long run. I think the turn around in Lincoln will begin next year. Schedule sets up much better and we'll have a year under our belt with the new coaching staff.

very rare especially without a major injury.
