Nebraska vs Indiana official prediction thread

[Bootleg11]

Connelly has Indiana at 15 and Nebraska at 22. I think once you get past Miami at 8...you could flip a coin for teams 9 through 34. I can see Indiana -3 maybe even -4 since they are at home. But -7 is wild to me.

Basically neither one of these teams has played a team worth a shit. But Indiana's schedule has been easier. Their average opponent ranking through 6 games (According to Bill Connelly's SP+) is 125.33, while Nebraska is 99.833. The one difference is that Indiana has gone on the road twice already in Big 10 @ UCLA and @ NW.

Not giving you gruff or anything since you're stating facts lol, but "road" is doing a lot of heavy lifting for those two hostile environments.

I think the general routine of traveling fucks teams up more than the crowd in like 90% of cases

No doubt, especially in their case of traveling to UCLA.

This may be a live bet type of game.

If Nebraska can win early then make Indiana 1 dimensional, Indiana has not faced the DL that Nebraska has.

The argument on the other side is has Nebraska faced a team as balanced offensively as Indiana? Maybe Illinois..that didn't go great for the Nebraska defense.

I think we know what we're getting from: Nebraska's offense and defense, Indiana's offense.

Indiana's defense is highly rated...but they who's the best offense they've faced? Maryland? At least Nebraska has faced Illinois and Colorado offenses.

Curtis Rourke is on a roll. Can Nebraska heat him up?

I think if Nebraska wins this it's a 27-24 type of game. If Indiana wins it's probably a 38-35 type of game. Makes me think I should bet over 50.5.

@HuskerGarrett & @Jim14510 Gay ain't wrong, it's just gay. I can accept that. Multiple things can be true at once.

This game is shaping up to be a real Matt Rhule special.

NU loses: "The apocalypse is upon us!!"
NU wins: "Yeah but ____ hadn't really played anyone yet so the jury is still out on Nebraska. I need to see more before I'll say if they're 'back'"

 

[Mavsker]

If Indiana wins it's probably a 38-35 type of game.

What's your reasoning here?
Nebraska hasn't put up 35 points since the opener, and we've played a lot worse defenses than Indiana.

Indiana is 7th in total defense. Granted they haven't played anyone, but neither have we and we're below that.

 

[macmoolah]

A big key in this one is time of possession i think. Rhule would love nothing more than to turn this into a low scoring rock fight a la Buttgers. Keep their offense on the sideline

21-17 Nebraska you fucking beta cucks

 

[Slam Duncan]

Indiana are fvcking frauds

Nebraska rolls 31-14

 

[CornFed Gregger]

This is a big game for Satterfield. Offense can be the difference in this game cuz I think the defense will be in for some back & forth.

Lose this game & the offense struggles & I can see a 1-5 finish. Idk how Rhule could run it back when Satt cant lean on the lack of talent excuse with a 5 star QB.

31-20 Nebraska cuz I ain’t a bitch

Sack man Williams has himself a big game.

I don't know how this could be a trap game for Nebraska.

Well, it's IU homecoming, and our trip to OSU is next week. Admittedly, pre-season looking at the schedule , I thought there was a good chance we'd be undefeated going into it and IU would be sneaky good. We aren't undefeated of course, and IU isn't really being that sneaky about it.

 

[Gman1228]

Hoosiers 31
Huskers 20

Going to be a challenge to get to 6 wins but hopefully we can sneak by UCLA or Wisconsin.
