Huskers - 21
Spartans - 7

High motivation to "win this week" and earn a bowl trip are the motivators for the good guys.

I'm saying 38-3... at some point we're going to see at least one game where the offense clicks and I think this one could be it... Would be nice to see all phases of the team hitting on all 8 cyl

I think it will be another sloppy muddy game. But I think Rhule and the coaches has the team bought into winning ugly games.
27-16 NU

Fun fact: our 4 Big 10 opponents who don't steal signs average roughly 23 points a game excluding the NU game. NU has been holding those teams to at least 9 points below their average and up to 15 points below average. MSU has the lowest offensive output of the big 10 teams we play so far at 18 points a game. Could be a dominant performance for Tony White and his crew.

I would LOVE to see that and would hope Sims could come in, have a good game, and give HH a 2nd half breather.

Looks a lot like Purdue minus the turnovers. Late MSU TD after a halftime shutout.

is there a program in more disarray than michigan state? those kids are playing for their scholarships now, not victories. why the spread is so low escapes me. N should win this going away.

i don't ever want to see that loser on the field again. he quite literally breathes momentum into the other team, and is liable to turn a sealed game into a heartbreaking comeback. let Purdy hand it off instead.

anyways, i'll be disappointed but not shocked if this one is close. Iowa was able to put nearly 30 on them, so no excuses for us not to as well.

hoping for a stress-free, 31-6 type game.

I’m weirded out by the line being so close. Feels like a trap. MSU 17 NU 16.

People are very wary because of the last 10 years. Nothing, absolutely nothing, has been easy.

I fully expected a struggle last week with Purdue, but Nebraska was never seriously threatened. I don't see any measure by which Michigan State can be considered much better than Purdue, other than being on their home field. So maybe NU wins by 10-14 instead of 17. That'd be fine.

Logic like this hasn’t worked the last 9 years. I believe things have changed but it’s all still so fresh. We will see if we can stay consistent in our improvements :)

Even if I'm wrong, 5 wins, with a special-olympics wheelchair offense no less, feels better than 3 or 4.
