O/U set at 73 as well. I see some nice parlay action right there with a Ducks +3 and over 73.
I'm guess Vegas didn't do much research. If they actually sat down and watched both games I'd put the Ducks at +14 (Since I have no clue about betting terminology I'm stating Ducks win by two touchdowns). And honestly, I don't think this one is even going to be that close. Until we clear the benches Ducks 44 Cornhuskers 14 going into the 4th.
Worry about Stanford, worry about Washington, worry about USC, but don't sweat Nebraska at all.

In case you'd like to know, the betting terminology is just to say it the opposite of that (so you'd say Ducks -14). The way you wrote it makes more sense to me but for whatever reason, you do it the opposite way.
Yep, he brought a ton of the Oregon State coaching staff with him. Banker (D-coordinator), Langsdorf (O-coordinator), Bruce Read (Special Teams), Trent Bray (Linebackers), Cavanaugh (O-line), etc.

I came on here to post exactly that. Most people are forgetting the Banker factor. Has he solved the areas offense yet?

This is a great point. Vegas should've realized Nebraska, playing in their own stadium, would be less competitive with Oregon than UC Davis and Virginia.
That is definitely terrible research by the oddsmakers. I hope the Sportsbooks can cover your winnings.
^^^ You are still here? Don't you have the first of two wins this season to get excited for? But hey, you will have at least two more moral victories to hang your hats on.
It's not that I'm not worried about Nebraska, but I agree with Duck24 that this is probably going to be one of those games where when it's over, we'll wonder why we bothered to break a sweat.
I don't think Nebraska is as good as we're building them up to be, and we still really haven't seen how Oregon's primary defensive rotation will play throughout an entire game. Meanwhile, Nebraska had to play all its main rotations on both sides of the ball against Wyoming because that game was so close through the fourth quarter.
Also, Mike Riley. Good coach, yeah, but a bad track record against spread teams and especially Oregon's offense.
Our Offense will be fine Sat. Only concern will be communication at the line with the young RS Frosh with the raucous crowd.
I'm interested in seeing how our linebacker and DB rotation will be. Personally, I'd like to see more Mattingly this week. Also, at DB seeing a combo of Springs and Tyree at Corner with Schooler at Safety with Oliver would be awesome. Throw in a little Fotu as well especially if they want to run the rock at us.

Pretty much my exact sentiments as the games getting closer. I'm worried about the game but when I actually look at it I can't find many real reasons to be worried.

Ohh thanks! I really had no clue haha
The way it was explained to me is this. If a team is -14 (favored by 14), take their final score, subtract 14. If the opposing team has less than that, they cover. Same logic if they were +14 (14 point underdog), final score and add 14. If opposing team has less than that total, the +14 team covers. Not sure if that's true but it makes sense. But betting is bad and illegal unless you live in the great state of Nevada
