If you think that Nebraska’s defense is bad now at 82nd and just entering the heart of the Big 12 schedule, just know that the Black Shirts finished 112th last year. Bo Pelini has a lot of work to do and so far has improved his team by 30 spots. But that could all change this week against Texas Tech. Missouri beat Nebraska in embarrassing fashion 52-17 last week. And perhaps because Pelini came from the SEC, Nebraska’s passing defense has declined somewhat due to the fact that he isn’t used to facing quarterbacks who can actually throw the ball.
A 7th ranked Texas Tech team is favored to win by just 20.5 over Nebraska. The reason why it is “just” over 20 points is because most people don’t respect Tech and perhaps it’s because of the extremely easy schedule thus far. But opponents are scoring just 18.5 points per game while the offense is averaging over 48 points. You never know what is going to happen with Nebraska and as likely that it is that they could get completely blown out in this game the way they did last week, I like Nebraska, especially if you can do a first half bet.
