Getting 3 TDs?? I think Pelini will have that team ready to compete for a win vs Texas Tech. I see a shoot out, as I do every Texas Tech game, but Nebraska should be well prepared. With Texas Tech blowing out a weak K ST team and Nebraska getting blown out by a very solid Missouri team, there should be some decent value here.

I would have guessed Texas Tech -14/14.5

Am I way off here?

What makes you think a team that doesn't even know what the word Punt is can't score 60 on Nebraska. TTU's offense is nearly as good as Mizzou's and this is a home game, meaning that if Tech gets up early, there is no crowd to cheer and support you on, which many times provide a tremendous amount of energy.

Nebraska's and K-State's defenses are at the same level. I predicted both of them would get blown out this past weekend.

Look for Nebraska to get blown out again, although 3 TD's is a lot to give up.

I like the over but also think that Nebraska will show up. 21 is alot of points for a conference game vs a decent opponent. No?:think2:

I apologize in advance if this comes across as condesending, that is not my itent, but you must know who you are betting on and by that I mean the coaches and their tendencies.

Mike Leach will throw the ball up 35 with 2 minutes left in the game. Tech is going to score 45, the question is will Nebraska score 24?

cashmoney, either play tt or lay off of it. I follow the skers pretty closely, I thought Mizzou was the bet of the year last week and took 3 plays to see that was true. NU starts a RB from last year at one LB and their starting safety is a walk on (who is not very good). That should tell you something about their depth and quality of players on defense. Pelini last week tried some crazy new defensive alignment that obviously did not work so I would expect them to go back to something more basic. The NU offense is respectable but they kill themselves with penalties. They are I believe something like 115th in penalties this year. They absolutely can not run the ball at all which lets defenders tee off on Ganz (who is one tough SOB with hits he has taken this year). The confidence is pretty low in Lincoln right now so I guess we'll find out what kind of coach Pelini is (in regards to getting a team ready to play). Seems like Tech's defense is somewhat respectable this year so don't see NU keeping up in a shootout. Nebraska is down and has been for 4 years or so now, but imo I think Big XII teams still get pretty fired up to play them because of the name. This is also NU's first road game (Pelini's first ever as a HC)of the year so who know how they will react to that. Laying 21 is a lot but if betting it, I would think that would be the way to go imo.

Texas Tech laying three TD's and Mizzou was only laying 10 pts? I think they are finally getting the points they need to make it a no bet.

I'd bet Nebraska if I was going to bet this game for some reason, just because I think the correct number is 18. It's the kind of game I think Nebraska covers slightly more often than Tech, but I also wouldn't blink at a 63-14 type of final.
