I'm very interested in Ball St also and pretty sure I'll be taking them.
 
Temple got robbed last week by a brutal replay job.  I think they can go either way....throw in the towel or rally around the "us against the world" theme.  I think they may rally and fall just short again. 
 
Or lose 47-6 lol

Could be a major letdown game for the Huskers.  Ball St. will score some points, could be a solid pup with over 3 TDs.

Take Temple and the points and have no worries....This team is better then their record. Cashed at a 65% ATS clip the past 7 years.

I look for the Husker/Ball State game to be similar to this Oklahoma/Tulsa game.  I dont see Ball State moving the ball as well as Tulsa is against Oklahoma, but Nebraska will score at will against B.S. whether they are still down from last week or not

Like Temple +21 for a small play.  Neb might be pissed after last week and want to blow off some steam.  First glance Ball St might get a backdoor, but I do not like it at all.

I'm a big Husker fan..  and I bet big on Ball State to cover.

I think that people are thinking this will be a big game for the Huskers trying to make a statement after getting embarrassed last week.  But this team is DOWN right now.  In addition, I think Ball State is a little better than most people think.  I would not be surprised to see the Cards taking it into the second half.  I think that Ball State winning outright is a little unrealistic though..

If Nebraska covers, I will be extremely happy and lose some money.  But I don't see it happening.

Linde, i hope your not being serious.  I totally respect you as a capper and your plays that you post.  I also appreciatte the write ups that you gave on each team through the summer.   You are a great capper and a great asset to these forums, but I hope that you are drunk making this statement, cuz i have never seen you post anything so ridiculous.  To cover may be one thing, to win may be another, But to Think that they are going to win in Lincoln is absurd.  GL this week

We'll see man, just a bold prediction, probably won't be right but I threw a little on the ML just cause I think there's a chance...

On both.
 
Ball St. beat Navy SU @ Navy.  That's not to shabby.  Nate Davis doesn't get much pub, but he is a good QB.
 
Temple is improved for what its worth.  BG doesn't run the ball well.  Tough to lay 21 without some form of a running game to eat clock. 
 
If you look at these 2 games from a solely mathimatical point-of-view (total yards, Offensive & defensive efficiency (Yards per point))
niether team should be laying 3 TDs.

Ball State's win over Navy was a mirage-they allowed over 500 yards rushing and were handed the game with Navy mistakes. Nebraska may only punt a couple of times all game.

Almost everyone who plays Navy allows over 500 yards rushing...

I actually played both of these games fairly small.  Of the two I like Ball St better because I think their offense will score at least twice.  Don't know where the love for Nebraska comes from. 
 
Temple should cover, but you never know what your gonna get from Temple this year, except that they seem to play better as a dog than as a favorite.
 
Ball St ML isn't that far fetched.  Depends on the odds, but I would through a small wager on it.

Huskers will win 48-17, IMO.
 
I don't know anything about Temple other than they're a doormat so I don't bet on their games.

Just MO. Stay away from both plays. Bowling Green & Nebraska should both cover in my opinion.

I'm getting this sinking feeling that'll I'll see the ticker go by and see Nebraska up 21-0 after 1 quarter..........then ESPN will break in and show highlights of the game and see some weird shit defensive TD's by Nebraska.
 
Don't do it to me gambling gods.
