I’ve been betting differently but gotta keep up the single digit win vote until it fails

Then you obviously didn’t vote on the Oregon game.

Edit: or are you saying you vote single digit when we win big?

I’ve voted single digit win every time to not jinx it but def bet us over 11.5 against oregon

This game spooks me a bit. Northwestern is a tough place to play.

I expect to lose a couple, but hoping it's against a better opponent.

Mods can we please add a triple digit victory margin button?

Northwestern isn't a "tough" place to play, its more of a sterile and boring venue where teams often have to manufacture their own energy.

There is a big college basketball bracketologist I follow on Twitter. He's been trying to hit up every Big Ten venue this season. He was at the Illinois at Northwestern game and called it one of the worst environments he's ever seen in the conference.

They're 0-6 in conference but they've played pretty tough against some good teams. Winning on the road in the B1G is tough. ALWAYS.


Go get one boys!

I think the thing is they're an easy team to game plan for. Contain Martinelli, dont shit the bed.

Lost to Wisconsin by 12.

We will win by 42.

Northwestern doesn't get blown out. They're definitely going to trip up one of the top teams in the conference. Hoping it's not us.

TBH I'm a little surprised Vegas hasn't caught on to your scientific methods

The only things we might trip over are our huge hogs

I have voted double digit win every single game this year. And will continue to do so.

 

[Huskers633]

I think no matter how many games Nebraska wins this year, everyone will nervous because it's Nebrasketball. Myself included as I selected Nebraska single digit win. This is a game Nebraska should win handily and shouldn't be close. I do think Chris Collins has done a great job at Northwestern, but this might be his worst team since his first or second year.

 

[SlumpBuster]

FTR, I have not selected a margin of victory at all this season, therefore I will continue to abstain.

We've seen enough Big 10 basketball the last few years to know no road game should be taken for granted. To say we should "win handily and shouldn't be close" is ignorant. 1 through whatever, winning on the road handily in this conference is not a given.
