No it makes is basically even (-1). I know, it's that whole negative minus a negative thing you have trouble with...

Game Week - Nebraska
- Thread starter Buffnik
- Start date
I swear the voters only did that because Osborne said he was retiring. Bunch of ****ing horse**** that was.
I'm not sure if you know how this works... Home team typically gets 2.5-3 points. Nebraska is a 3.5 point favorite with home field for CU already factored in, meaning on a neutral field, they are likely 6-6.5 point favorites, and if the game was in Lincoln they are likely 8.5-9 point favorites.
I can feel the hate coursing through my veins.
This is correct.
I do hope JoJo is at least on the 2 deep. He's talkin a lot of smack.
However, because Corn fans notoriously bet with their hearts and not with their heads, it would probably be pick em situation with a lot of other teams.

I thought the home field WASN'T included. Welp, good thing i don't bet, just drink.
You seem like you’d be fun at parties
Yeah, @manhattanbuf can probably explain it further, but my understanding is that is basically how the opening lines are determined, along with how Vegas thinks the teams match up, and then they move based on the money coming in on either side in order to try and get close to even money on both sides.
The perception of Nebraska coming into the season was BIG West favorites and dark horse CFP (lolololol), with a Heisman caliber QB. I think that's mostly why the line opened as high as it did and has since moved so much lower after a lackluster performance against South Alabama at home.
He played quite a bit and was very good Game 1
A lot of this is correct for most games. The big exception is when the ticket count and dollars bet volume heavily favor the same side. This is when the book is in a “needs” category for the game (i.e. they only win on one result of a wager set). This happens when the book’s internal handicapping model sees a certain side’s action as uneducated/square, so they are willing to increase their exposure.
Teams like nebraska, notre dame, and the oakland raiders are generally reliable sources for these square money overloads. It’s one of the big why bigger sportsbooks still permit sharps to bet in their shops.
Frost.... That mealy-mouthed, sick bastard is always whining and complaining about something. The dude is clearly bat**** crazy. I am confident he will be institutionalized within the next 3 years. Book it!
I hope Viska trucks him into next week while scoring.
Dude’s gotta catch Viska first. Highly questionable!
Nebraska is a 3.5 point favorite. You get 2.5 for being the home team normally. In this case Nebraska is a six point favorite on a neutral field, but our Buffs play at home and get 2.5 for being at home, it means Nebraska is now 3.5 favorite. Does that help out? Just want to help you so you don't make a bad gambling decision. It can ruin lives.

I already offered up that I thought the home field was applied after, not included. And that I drink instead of bet. It's reading comprehension. Try and keep up.
It’s especially ruinous when you get bad info like the above.

To get extra points with the coach so you get the start?

This is going to be a long week. I have a feeling fuskers are going to fusker and run their mouth much like 80’s/90’s era The U. Hopefully the Buffs use this kindling to stoke the flames, while keeping their heads down in a determined fashion. Let the fusker **** talk look as tacky as scarlet red polyester. Red does burn brighter when it comes to Polyester overalls...
Rick said he does take satisfaction that every nebraska fan that purchases a beverage at Folsom this weekend will have to hold onto a CU branded silver cup/bottle.
I really wish he'd asked them what the scoreboard was last year, but oh well, ok answer.
Just figured you might give me grief for stating the obvious. Just kidding.
New AP poll came out, Nebraska remains in the top 25.
I’m loving what I’m hearing out of our players so far this week.
