[Husker] Flu? No move in the NU-Missouri betting line.

[Steve Reichenbach]

I've been concerned about rumors that NU has players with the flu.
Such an illness striking a number of players, especially key players,
could change the nature of the contest significantly.  The team would
be reluctant to have that be news and the local press might be
reluctant to report it, but if it is true then some people who know
likely will be talking about it and if some people who know are talking
about it then it might affect the betting line.  So, I checked the
betting line and there hasn't been much movement.  Early in the week,
the line moved in favor of Nebraska, but since then the line has been
pretty well fixed or moving to Nebraska now being a 3.5 to 4 point
favorite.  So, hopefully the fulu is just a rumor.
