Official Nebraska vs Cincinnati prediction thread

[Stenge85]

My pitching wedge goes through my TV after Hartzog gets beat on the first 3rd & 7

 

[Kaladin]

IDK, I just don't expect us to ever again be good at all 3 phases of the game concurrently due to the unshakable curse which is upon us. And practice reports make it sound shaky, which worries me.

What practice reports

 

[That SOB Van Owen]

We will win but it’ll be close. 31-27 Nebraska.

 

[Jim14510]

34-21

 

[Baron Winnebago]

I think Cincinnati's OL is ass, so Skers 41 Bearcats 13

Specific Predictions:
1. Jacory Barney first career receiving TD: I had no idea his three were all rushes last year
2. "bad" special teams moment: shanked punt most likely but nothing catastrophic
3. Cincy backdoor cover. I've got Cincy scoring with like 2 minutes left to bring it within a score
4. Pritchett starts at LT. We're fooling ourselves
5. Cincy >5.7 yards/rush. Strength of their team, weakness of ours I think
6. Mahomes talk on the broadcast makes me puke

Interesting. I have this weird feeling that the game will be closer than most like (I have us winning 31-20). But I think that Cincy will give the ball back to us with about 5 minutes to go and for the first time in what feels like forever, we put a team away by controlling the clock and running it out.

48-14 NU. The dogs are called off in the 3rd quarter

30-20 us

30-20 us

So yore saying we're exactly 20% better than they are. I'll bet your bed is perfectly made and your clothes hangers are precisely 1" apart, shirts sorted by season, then color.

37 - 13 Corhuskers!

[Mavsker]

Here is the problem, the spread implies we win this game about 75% of the time. However, 100% of respondents say they think we win. Therefore all the value is on Cincinnati.

Be that as it may, 31-30 DONU

20%?

That would be... 50% better?

30+20 = 50 total projected points in @dom91932's score prediction
30 points = 60% of the total projected points
20 points = 40% of the total projected points
60%-40% = 20%

I'm also "at elevation" here in Utah, recovering from an afternoon adult wrasslin' session 😎at these altitudes and my age, so my line of thinking may be skewed on the whole math thing. Finally, I believe Chevy Chase said it best:

35-21 good guys

 

[Kaladin]

A lot of you guys need to subtract 14-28 points from your Cincinnati prediction figure and then add that amount to your Nebraska prediction figure. That will give you a overall prediction that is more likely to be correct.
