Dime bet Nebraska -2.0
Analysis: We’re going to make money with Tim Miles’ Cornhuskers this year, starting right here in Tallahassee tonight. Now that Nebraska has gone 0-3 ATS to open the season (losing in overtime in their road opener, then failing to win by enough of a margin in a pair of double digit home victories), the markets have cooled on the Huskers enough to get involved here.
Nebraska has many of the things I look for in a strong point spread team. This is an outlier season for the program, and when teams like Nebraska suddenly become really good, the markets often lag behind current realities. Tim Miles has two strong scorers to rely on in Terran Petteway and Shavon Sheilds. Walter Pitchford scored 19 last time out – they have options when one of their top two struggle to get going offensively. They play defense. They rebound. They don’t turn the ball over excessively, key against the Seminoles aggressive defense. And they have the moxie to win a tight road game, learning from their experience at Rhode Island last month. Take Nebraska.
