Nebraska U 48½
Let me begin with a 26-9 SYSTEM that has COVERED at a 74% clip the past 5 seasons. You play a team like Colorado off a CLOSE Conference win of 7-or-LESS points UNDER the total versus an opponent like Nebraska who just suffered a Conference blowout loss of at least 21 points! That system does apply to a Nebraska team that is trying to avoid their first losing season since way back in 1961!!! The Huskers are also attempting to become Bowl eligible for a 36th consecutive campaign. This game is also important for a Colorado team that started out conference play 1-4, and yet still has a shot at gaining a berth in the Big 12 Title Game. Since there is alot riding on the outcome of today's encounter, I am looking for both teams to play it "close to the vest" in a close and low scoring affair. The reason why Nebraska is in danger of a losing season is because new head coach Bill Callahan without much success tryed to install the West Coast offense, which is in stark contrast to Frank Solich's old triple option attack. Even though Nebraska was finally supposed to be throwing the football effectively, their best offensive player is once again a RUNNING back (Corey Ross has run for over 1,000 yards). As for Colorado, it would be in their best interest to also generate a solid rushing attack that will take TIME off the clock in long sustained drives. The reason I say that is because Buffs QB Joel Klatt has thrown only 8 touchdown passes as opposed to 13 INTERCEPTIONS. Klatt is ranked way down at #73 nationally is quarterback efficiency. Colorado comes into this contest ranked no better than #5 in any Big 12 Conference statistic. I will leave you with an UNDEFEATED angle. Nebraska is 11-0 UNDER SINCE 1992 after a game where they forced ZERO tunrovers!!!
GOOD LUCK
