Official Nebraska vs Cincinnati prediction thread

[Kaladin]

Lots of kool aid drinkers here. For some reason, this game worries me. The hype of playing at Arrowhead, our history of choking on the big stage, and concerns about defense all make me cautious. I really want a win here. Just tempering my expectations

Just don’t

Drink Koolaid, enjoy life

35-24 - good guys

31-17. A little clunky but overall a sound victory.

A lot to a little Nebbi

45-42, they exploit our weak-fence but we win on a last second fg.

 

[Huskers633]

42-24 good guys. And after the game people will be concerned about the defense.

Being worried is not a prediction, though.

Ask me 50 times a day and I will give you 25 different predictions. Just don’t have a great feeling on this one way or the other.

You think our defense is going to be weak? Not expecting them to be what they have been the last few years is one thing, but a "weak" defense is be something unique to a Coach Rhule lead team...

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.

It's a butt clencher in the first half with the game chat providing meltdowns of epic proportions.

This feels like one of those times we build ourselves up and cincinatti down and end up freaking out for a week even though we covered the spread.

Followed by a week of melting down about our defense.

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
