[Husker] Odd Odds

[Scott R Lawson]

Jon I'm not sure, honestly I don't follow betting 'logic' either but I
do like to look at the spread to get an idea of what to expect on
Saturdays. Usually the spreads are not too far off. If Iowa State were a
3 point favorite in this game then I would spend the rest of the week
worrying, but I figured Nebraska would be a couple touchdown favorite or
so. Of course, it doesn't always work out the way the oddsmakers say it
will (see last week).

Why would they put a line on this game?

I know next to nothing about betting..... but I don't see how you can  
actually put a line on this game after Pelini's comments about shaking  
up the starters.
