the betting line doesn't move in our favor before Saturday. Not much betting action happens weeks out before a game. The heavy betting starts now as most bettors want as much info as possible before placing their bet.
We already know Nebraska is without Pierson-El. That's a huge blow that hasn't been fully factored into the betting line yet. If the NU suspension rumors are confirmed to be true today and Nebraska will be without their start DT, that's gonna factor in. Objective analysis of Nebraska's offense hasn't been returning rave reviews. That's gonna factor in. Then you factor in the growing sentiment that BYU is gonna end Nebraska's 29 game opener streak.
Now, BYU lost JSwagg and will also be without a few suspended starters, but I still think the line settles to between 3-4 (Nebraska still favored as the home team) by Saturday.
Not that any of this really matters as the betting line has no effect on who wins or loses, but it's still fun to talk about.
