College football playoff odds

I do think we have to prepare for a solid Nebraska team. CFP? No. But I believe they will compete for the top portion of the West with Wisky and Iowa. Their schedule is whip cream esque and they likely will get to 8/9 wins.
I'm trying to figure Vegas out here..

As of right now Nebraska is favorites in every game except Ohio state.

O/U 8.5 wins

Then have them at 6/1 for the playoff.
 
Yup that's what Vegas has the line at
It's crazy talk isnt it?

Martinez has a Heisman contender? Lol half of his passing yards were (Yards After Catch) by Washington, Ozigbo and Morgan Jr....
Adrian literally had 3 passes 10+ yards down field vs Iowa and one of those was tipped and still caught.

Greg Davis offense 2.0
 
Raking in money hand over fist on starved Nebraska bettors. It’s almost unfair.

I think Vegas has Iowa all wrong. They must think our offense is really going to struggle:

-4 1/2 to ISU
-15 1/2 to Michigan
Pick vs PSU
+5 to Purdue
-5 1/2 to Wisconsin
-7 to Nebraska

Ive seen a couple Iowa fans bring this up, the Iowa game required Martinez to throw short passes because Iowa wasnt giving anything up over the top. That was the smart play. Martinez can sling it, thats not a valid criticism based on the 1 game you watched.
 
So much butthurt.

Recruiting smack, Facilities smack, History smack, Yet Another Cool New Coach smack........and now July Vegas Odds smack.

Anyone else on here old enough to remember when Nebraska fans used to brag about winning actual football games? Yeah, there are fewer and fewer of us all the time.

I suspect the offense will be good, but that wasn't really their issue last year. Problem was, they gave up 30+ points/game. That isn't going to win you many games. Unless they're able to somehow miraculously turn the D around, I don't see it being much different than last year.

Why are you so worried about it then? Let the field do the talking. Iowa has plenty to be excited about with their team with solid lines and a serviceable QB. That should lead to a nice year.

Not hard to figure. They are banking (literally) on the Lincoln cult to put their eternal optimism into wagers and they are laughing themselves silly knowing how many fools will jump on that.
 
Oh, and I would like to point out no Iowa fan started this Cornholer thread. It was a Nubya troll on an Iowa football forum.

The offense was good last year, but int he first half of the season they were inefficient at scoring the ball. They would put up yards, but werent scoring in the red zone. Part of this was due to penalties where they were getting like 10 a game, part was field position as they were terrible in special teams. The 2nd half of the year efficiency improved and Nebraska's record improved.

The defense has to get better, but they dont need a Top 25 unit to win with their offense. Get the D to Top 75 and Nebraska should be good. The defense feeds off of the offense. If the offense is a fine tuned machine it puts a lot of pressure on the other team to take risks they dont normally take.
 
Man you would think Scotty would have many other things to do than have multiple user names and posting on a Hawk forum. Really carrying this vendetta a but far.

Iowa’s offense has struggled on the road, namely Stanley, where Iowa plays five tough games...ISU, Michigan, NW, Wisconsin, and Nebraska so that’s why Iowa isn’t getting a lot of love. Let the season play out and if they win at ISU and Michigan, then this team is for real. But gotta take care of home field too.
 
What's Iowa's listed odds to make the CFP field? Will we be able to bet on these types of propositions at Iowa casinos soon?
 
You could post this all day and no matter the comments would claim butthurt. Just because you post something that you think will get a rise, still doesn't mean anybody cares. Again, paper mache Nebraska always ruled the off-season.
So much butthurt.

-15.5 at Michigan. I'll take the points. Iowa covers that spread.

And that puts Iowa behind the eight ball they have only 70,000 fools.
