Am I reading that right? You took Iowa over Nebraska with NU getting 4? IMO you are going to lose that one, and TxTech has looked better than BYU to me.

Yeah, Iowa is a 4 point favorite. Nebraska is coming off a huge win and Iowa is coming off an embarrassing loss. Wouldn't surprise me if Iowa ran away with that one. BYU is a much better team at home. Tech hasn't beaten anyone good this year yet.

Road wins in the Big 10 have typically been tough outs. Albeit Wisconsin and Ohio St both won on the road last night.

Nebraska has yet to prove they can be a good road team under Hoiberg tho. Sparty smoked them 89-52.

That being said..... FUCK PEACOCK

They did well in Hawaii and beat UCLA, but that one was at home.

I don't put much stock in the Diamond Head Classic.

Nice to win their first ever tourney, but it wasn't a Big 10, Big 12, SEC, Big East, etc. road win. Heck, Nebraska upset #1 Purdue in Lincoln last year.

Iowa (-4) in Iowa City is probably close to the right spread.

Rutgers and the Gophers are probably 2 of the bottom 3 in the league. Purdue and MSU also won at Minnesota, frankly because they stink.

Road wins are very difficult in league play and Nebraska, historically, has been a bad road team.

This game is on Peacock? I didn't realize that. Guess I'll pull that one up on the iPad.

Nebraska also won at Creighton, which is a very good win. Maybe Nebraska has solved some of their road woes they've had under Hoiberg. The MSU game notwithstanding.

Yes. I'd typically go to the local small town dive bar to watch it, but we'll be celebrating my mom's 83rd b-day this afternoon, then I have a first of the month/year VFW meeting this evening. I'll just watch score updates on my phone.

@ Iowa would be a huge win for Nebraska on it's way to 20 wins (hopefully), but I don't see it happening.

I will say this Nebraska team is more complete than last seasons where they had to rely on Tominaga's 3 pointers for their wins. If Tominaga was off they were fucked.

True. It looked good at the time, but Cretin has lost 5 games since.
 
Nebraska/Cretin should play twice in the regular season.

Heck, they play each other 3 times in baseball.

Do a rotating tournament with y'all, Creighton, and Omaha! Each year rotate location to the home arenas.

Double digit win for Iowa. Never a doubt.

Well I was real wrong, and then right.

That's why I don't gamble too often.
