For the final time at Memorial Stadium in 2024, Nebraska football is listed as an early betting favorite for Saturday's matchup against Wisconsin.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers opened as 1 1/2 point-favorites late Saturday night in early sports betting lines. The line then adjusted to a one-point advantage for the Cornhuskers as of Sunday morning, with sports bettors giving the Badgers more attention following both teams losing on Saturday.

Two teams that are decidedly not happy about where they are.

ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI) always predicts the outcome of each college football game. With 12 weeks already behind us, the model has now released updated predictions for Week 13.

FPI sees the Wisconsin-Nebraska matchup as one of the closest of the weekend. Both teams enter the game at 5-5 overall, meaning the winner secures bowl eligibility. The model sees the Badgers as a slight favorite, giving the team a 53.4% chance to win the matchup. This means the Cornhuskers have a 46.6% chance, essentially meaning this game is a coin flip.

I've got an idea - let's just play the game without any refs except to referee any brawls that may break out.  It can't be much worse than the results we are getting week in and week out of so many missed / wrong calls - an apology from the conference on Monday doesn't mean squat to a team that lost on Saturday - they still have a loss.  And right now, Nebraska for sure isn't good enough to overcome those mistakes.  And as frustrating as that is for a fan to watch, I can just imagine how frustrating it is for players who are trying their best and are coming up short due to bad calls (even as they thank their lucky stars that some of their mistakes aren't caught).  I really don't believe that the refs are "out to get us" but a level playing field sure seems to in short supply and some calls are so blatantly wrong that even my six year old grandson was commenting on it and he's not even a sports fan~!  

Ok, rant over --and GBR!!

there ought to be a scoring system for teams of officials and individuals (I think there is one -maybe in the NFL)

the worst performing according to those grades should be let go at the end of the season

Wisconsin not having an offensive coordinator should make Nebraska fans happy. Curiously, it also makes Wisconsin fans happy.

This game does feel very much like a toss-up.
