Keyshawn is high. No way Colorado even sniffs 6 wins more less 9.

If we curb stomp CU, they'll be lucky to win 3 games

I had a non Husker fan buddy who earned nearly 5 Grand betting against Scott Frost when Nebraska played a game under the following conditions:

- Nebraska was coming off a bye
- Nebraska's opponent was coming off a bye
- Nebraska's opponent had a week off due to dumb Covid rules
- Nebraska and their Big Ten opponent were opening up the season in Game One.

Frost was 0-9 in those games.

Nebraska's win over Northwestern last season was the first time the Huskers won a game coming off a bye since the Purdue game in 2017. Ironically, Mike Riley's last Husker game coming off a bye and Matt Rhule's first Husker game coming off a bye were both wins. Frost never won any of them in between.

Again though you have to clarify ML vs spread. Most avg Joes bet the point spread, not the ML. You're talking about ML bets.

Overall I actually won a net $$ profit during the Fraudst years and many of those wins were betting ON the Huskers, not against. Reason being, as the public got more and more negative on the Skers, you started to see a bunch of +8 to +12 lines in these big games. But I knew that Fraudst would always find a way to lose by 3 to 7 points. So you could have actually made a lot of money by taking the Skers in those large spread games. Fraudst always lost, but he'd lose close, by God.

My missed opportunity in that era is I didn't take near as many ML bets against Frost as I should have. I guess that's the wild eyed optimist in me (holding out hope we'd actually win one of those big games, which we never did).

Didn't Joel Klatt have us with a good record under Frost in the second season too? Or am I thinking of some one else?

 

[HerbRedman]

Correct. CU will fall apart if that happens.

If we beat CU by 21 or more and CU actually patches things together and goes 7-5....then I will actually have to give Deion some credit. Because that would take strong coaching to keep your team together like that.

Exactly

He thought Scott was going to turn it around every year, including the last year. I’ve actually never heard him say any team will be bad

Not impossible that Colorado is in the championship game. Not any power houses in that list. You could make a good case for any of those top 5 winning it. That prediction looks reasonable though.

Speaking of bye weeks, it feels like even when our schedule is easier this conference still tries to screw us. This is tedious for me to research on my phone, but it appears that 4 of our 9 conference games are against teams coming off a bye week. Indiana, OSU, USC, and UCLA all get 2 weeks to prepare for us. Cockeye on the other hand only to play Michigan State coming off a bye.

Any substance to this or is it just bad luck? I should tally up how many opponents every team faces coming off a bye.

Also might as well mention that Colorado plays on a Thursday to open the season so they get a couple extra days of rest and prep as well.

Yeah. Looking at that list of seemingly random schools really made all this realignment stuff hit home. The Big 12 is like if you took the middle tier of three different conferences and stuck them together. Just no “flagship” schools.

Maybe the people really running the B1G are the ones running the simulation.

They'll definitely finish higher than 11th. I'm actually surprised by that preseason ranking.

Having an NFL QB and good WRs can take you far in the Big 12. There's honestly no way they'll finish that low.

It can take you far in the Pac-12 too. I think their ceiling is around 7th in the Big 12; if they can do that then it's a huge success.

That’s more like it

Do we have a tPB nickname for the Colorado Buffalos

Pretty close to impossible though. Those top 5 teams will run right over Colorado and Colorado plays all 5 of them. Colorado doesn't match up well with those teams.

I haven’t ever opened this thread until today and holy shit is our fan base full of fucking idiots. How our entire fan base can talk shit on every single thing Prime/CU do after they beat us by 18 despite us sacking Shadildo 8 times is beyond me. 79 pages talking shit on them???? Do you guys really think they will be worse then they were last year??? Get a fucking grip.
