Nebraska Under..............

On the bowl front, yesterday could only be described as a "random act of the gaming gods". Cruel as it was, several valuable learning experiences came from this. For starters, Temple is a joke! They should have dropped their football program when they had the chance- you know when they were getting taken out back by the likes of Syracuse 63-7, during the 1990's. While I was aware of what I was getting myself into, the sting of a blown 21-7 halftime lead does nothing to help my disposition.
By kickoff of the Miami game I started to get that unsettled feeling that usually accompanies a massive losing streak. However, after Miami ran the opening kick back (penalty but subsuquently scored a touchdown on the next play), I was back! That's when the wheels came off. The Hurricane bench looked as if they were about to be arrested-just one collective vapor lock. While Wisconsin kept Miami in the game, the Hurricanes refused to make plays. At one point the announcers became apologists for the Hurricanes by noting "the frigid conditions", it was forty-six degrees and the Miami players just wanted this game to end.
Tonight's game between Nebraska and Arizona feels like a trap. The line has moved from Nebraska -1 to -3. Gun to my head I am taking the Huskers but I have no conviction so I will recommend taking the Under 41. With both teams having time off and Nebraska showcasing one of the worst offenses in recent memory, I expect a low scoring contest.
