Mike Lineback [303] 4* Nebraska Cornhuskers -3 -125 (1/2 pt buy) | 9:00p ET
Strongly believe Nebraska will win the battle in the trenches. Missouri having problems running the ball and defending the run. Nevada racked up 218 yards on the ground vs. Tigers two weeks ago. Plus, first year QB Gabbert hasn't faced the pressure, like he will see from a strong Nebraska defensive front (Pelini style; D much improved this yr). Both teams' coming off bye and haven't played anybody, except for Nebraska who dominated V-Tech on road but lost on last minute blown coverage call. Huskers held the Hokies to 11 first downs, 278 total yds (89 coming on last minute pass), 86 yds rushing on 37 carries which equates to 2.3 yp rushing attempt. Plus, Nebraska ran for 207 yds and lost the turnover battle (0-2) in Blacksburg. Needless, to say Nebraska let one get away. Not tonight!! Weather should be a factor as well. It's been raining all day in Columbia and is forecasted to rain throughout most of game. Low 50's, north wind with gusts should favor the ground game. Another reason why I like the Huskers.
