[Husker] Odds

I too think that the doom and gloom about the season to date and
expectations that NU will lose three conference games are unduly
pessimistic.  It has seemed that Bo typically has the team ready to
play in big games and not intimidated by road games.  Also, I think
that the offense and defense will have a few wrinkles for Wisconsin.

The line says Wisconsin by 10-10.5.  Sagarin has Wisconsin by 10 and
Massey has Wisconsin by 34-25 (although one chart shows 34-27).  I
don't bet, but if I were, I'd take NU and 10 points.
