I hope this thread accepts mercenary fans cause I just bet $500 on Nebraska over 9.5 (+110) at the Venetian. It's (-115) on 5dimes and (-110) on Bovada btw.
So yeah, I'm officially on the Cornhusker bandwagon. With a good senior QB, the best OL Pelini has had (according to him), and of course Abdullah who's as good as any RB in the big ten, and Kenny Bell and a wide receiving corps with
"almost too much talent", this should be Nebraska's best offense since Crouch was running all over the place. This 2013 edition should seriously be dominant!
And Ok, I know the defense was horrible last year, but are they really gonna be THAT horrible again this year? Can it actually get worse? I say no way. Not against this year's extremely soft schedule.
I mean seriously. Look at this schedule (along with my expert predictions):
Quote:
Nebraska 45 Wyoming 14
Nebraska 42 Southern Miss 17
Nebraska 38 UCLA 21
Nebraska 63 SDS 7
Nebraska 52 Illinois 10
Nebraska 35 Purdue 17
Nebraska 51 Minnesota 14
Michigan 63 Nebraska 0
Nebraska 28 Michigan State 17
Nebraska 28 Penn State 10
Nebraska 31 Iowa 21
That's 11-1 folks. And I honestly don't see Nebraska winning ANY game by single digits this year. I think this team is THAT good relative to the schedule they play. How the **** is my bet NOT a lock? It surely IS right?
Cool story bro alert: I was playing high stakes poker the other day with my dad at the Orleans ($4-$8 limit holdem with a half kill!!!) and a 40ish year old guy from Nebraska sat right next to me. He was a really nice guy but extremely annoying. He had a hickish type voice but not as twangy as say a guy from Tennessee or something. I found it very endearing, except for the fact that whenever he talked to me, he kept unintentionally spitting in my face. I assume all Nebraska people are like this. In retrospect, I also consider this cosmological coincidence a sign that I should bet big on Big Red!
LETS GOGOGOGOGO!!! Is it September 14th yet?!?! (Let's be honest. That's when the season really begins)
